Currently taking a little leave of absence. I hope to return soon!


Hi! Glad you found me. I'm here to reach out to anyone needing a supportive & nonjudgmental space. I'm happy to listen to you whatever is going on- disability/medical or general life stuff :)
Offline messages are welcome as I am not able to keep steady online hours. I will return the message when I am able but know that it will not be immediate. For reference in setting up a time to chat- my time zone is the east coast of the USA. I can be found some evenings in the disability support group room.

I'm living with a variety of chronic illnesses and disability. I use a wheelchair out of the house & sometimes in the house.


Whenever able I enjoy my dogs, watching tv, gardening, eating out with friends, and encouraging my brother to take on ridiculous improvement projects around my house. No longer able to work and most days are spent at home.

My previous jobs include nanny, working with abused/neglected children/teens, working with HIV+ infected/affected families, mall music store, detention facility for adolescent felons, specialty dog supply store & yoga instructor. I have tattoos and a facial piercing. In my upper 30s & good at the adulting where needed and ignoring it when not.

...See more Hi everyone- wondering if other wheelchair users would like to connect? Would be nice to offer tips/tricks, a place to vent when you've had a problematic interaction with a stranger or celebrate a positive interaction! Including: manual or power chairs full time user or part time user Anyone that is possibly transitioning to needing a wheelchair may also find this thread useful. I found a lot of blogs and youtube videos helpful before I started using mine- prepared me for some things (like strangers grabbing my push handles), how to get through non-automatic doors and tips like pneumatic wheels being better than solid rubber. I currently use a manual wheelchair out of the house. I have a power chair (perimobil F3) that I occasionally use inside the house. I cannot push myself very far in my manual chair so I need assistance to leave the house. I am in process of getting a rear-entry automatic ramp van so that I can use my power chair out of the house unassisted. I'm also a listener here so if anyone wants to chat 1:1 about this, please feel free to message me and we can set up a time! I'm on the east coast of the USA for time reference. <3

She asks questions and takes the time to understand what I'm going through. I appreciate her positive attitude. She is very polite and honest. However, I would not be offended if she wanted to be more blunt. She even makes me laugh sometimes.
