As funny as it is, it also has a point. Learning to walk again is certainly something to celebrate, but it’s just not always going to happen. Imo it’s also worth celebrating when someone is able to regain mobility by using a wheelchair or something of that sort. But in reality, at least in my experience*, using a wheelchair just seems to make everyone sad for you (or make them believe you’ve “given up”), and it’s hard for them to understand the progress you’ve made.

*I’m a part-time wheelchair user. For a while there I required it for just about everything, and it was unclear whether that would ever change, but I want to clarify that I probably don’t have the same condition as the person in the photo, and I’m not trying to speak over anyone else. Okay bye :)
