Nath & I have a friend "Jazzy" that was in a car accident, and now in a wheelchair. What an incredible story. He's SO positive, funny & animated. He invited us to a drop-in wheelchair basketball that he oversees at MRU.
Everyone was so friendly. There was probably 20 people in wheelchairs and about 10 people actually requiring a wheelchair. I played basketball when I was in High School... yes shocking I'm not exactly 5'9 Cat Deeley. So I figured this would be a breeze to catch on to...It took some effort trying to orientate operating a sport wheelchair. It definitely is a different world. I found the most simplistic tasks that I took for granted, now difficult. I was the weakest link on our team! With fully functioning legs, I was out of my world and far surpassed by experts with less mobility.
It was enlightening to experience a new perspective on life.
Plus it was such a BLAST!!!
