As another example: The Cross - it was/is a thing of tourture and death (like the electric chair) but because of what Christ did on one we see it as a thing of liberation... all of us are praying for your test on Tuesday.

I keep considering getting one to help me get around but unsure how much it would affect the joints in my hands/wrists/arms. At present I walk with a stick/cane but can only manage maybe 20-30m before starting to worry about looking for somewhere to sit. I don't fulfill the NHS criteria for free powered one and can't afford to buy one myself. Do you have a manual wheelchair?

The attitude that walking is everything is evil. The fact that medical school professors outside the rehab dept think this way is (evil)*(#of students taught/year) Every wheelchair-user I know describes it as a tool of liberation and possibilities. (I don't necessarily count elderly or other previously-think-healthy people who just started using a wheelchair as wheelchair-users. Grr on your behalf. Wheelchairs are not evil.

It is the tool of my liberation. Not only would I save it in a fire, it would save me! Without it I would be incredibly sad and only a very limited life would be possible. It is just about the best thing that ever happened to me. I love my wheelchair. It is the tool of my liberation. Not only would I save it in a fire, it would save me!
