    BAd luck+ Wheelchairs
    My grandmother is in the hospital recovmering from surgery and all the seats in her room where taken.

    So I sat in her wheel chair, and I got curious about it and I started like rolling around in the Wheelchair.

    My mother and my friend both told me that it is bad luck to be in a wheel chair when your okay.
    My friend said his brother did that and ended up on crutches later on.
    And as a joke I told my mom "Hey these thigns are convienient i want a wheel chair" And she was like Don't say that!


    Is this true that it is bad luck to do that? Or just a superstition?

    I knew it. God forbid soemthing like that were to happen.
    But I admit, Wheelchairs are pretty convenient for the elderly.
    You're a nurse, you must get a kick out of riding wheelchairs

    That's because it is really bad luck.

    Trust me. Wheelchairs are no fun. I hurt my knee in March and had to use a wheelchair until recently. I ached for the freedom to get around on my own. My husband had to drive me to work and pick me up again, so I had to put up with his preferences in radio and CDs and windows open or closed. And accessibility is not what you think. I was shocked at where I couldn't easily go in a wheelchair. And since it wasn't electric, I was even more limited. I had to depend on people more than I cared to.

    Thank God I am out of that wheelchair!
