I found out a long time ago that people who don't know us believe we are dumb when we are walking like Frankenstein. Then we go into double dumb when we go into the chair.

I prefer the power chair because it seems to make me a little less dumb since it is patient operated which means I must have partial brain functioning in order to self propel myself.
