There is a new show on the Sundance channel called Push Girls. It’s about 4 gorgeous LA women. They are all in wheelchairs.<\/p>\n

Just fir the record, I liked the show. <\/p>\n

EVERYONE keeps asking me this question!<\/p>\n

That being said, i must get this out. <\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean I ‘relate’. <\/p>\n

Yes, we are all young and beautiful (humor me, I can be conceited if I want!) and we are all chair users with SCI. <\/p>\n

That’s about it.<\/p>\n

Sure we go through some of the same stuff, like stares and unwanted help but as a person we are all very different.<\/p>\n

I was not offended by the question, in fact it brought on this post. Anyways, someone(s) asked me if I relate to any of them. <\/p>\n

The answer? <\/p>\n

No. <\/p>\n

Just because they are women in a chair and I’m a woman in a chair, it makes us no more alike than taking 4 blonde AB (that’s able bodied for all you AB people) women and asking every blonde woman they see if they relate to her. <\/p>\n

It’s not likely going to happen. I’m sure some people will relate to them and that’s awesome.<\/p>\n

I will say I’m going to keep watching. People in chairs all learn unique tips and tricks we don’t even think about and I’m hoping to pick a few ideas up!! <\/p>\n

Oh and I really need to start doing wheelies. 12.5 years of not doing them is long enough….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
