Bought a Powerchair!!!
Tldr; bought a Powerchair and it's amazing not being housebound anymore but it's frustrating how inaccessible everything is. I'm also moving into a supported living facility soon and my flat is much more accessible than where I currently live.
I bought a Powerchair the other day and it's amazing! I have actually been able to leave the house a couple of times since getting it!
I am having issues with ridiculous sloping pavements, giant potholes, and obstacles in the middle of the street that my chair can't get around but that's just my city having shit accessibility and I can't complain too much because even with those issues it's amazing not to be housebound.
I'm moving into a supported living facility soon and my new chair will be a huge help in allowing me to become more independent.
My new home has no stairs and has a wet room, which is super helpful. Unfortunately it does have a ridiculously heavy door and the dropped curb is blocked by an electric box but I have been speaking with the care company about these issues and they say they will loosen the hinge on the door, so that's something.
