From what I can tell, the view is gorgeous.

I also use a chair part time. My left shoulder sucks terribly, though, so wheeling myself for more than about fifteen feet is a Bad Idea. (Right shoulder isn't so hot, either, but at least it doesn't have nerve damage and a bunch of scar tissue in the muscles.) I've been walking a lot more over the last ten months to a year--up to seven blocks at once!--which pleases me beyond words, since I was largely bedbound in 2011. I do use my chair as a walker a lot, especially if I'm wearing something that doesn't support my ankles (hips and down all play the game of, "When can we best surprise them by falling out of place?" which results in, for instance, a subluxated hip because I stretched my leg while lying flat). But hey, it's walking at all.

Good drugs have also helped with being more mobile, not gonna lie. My methadone is my best friend.
