@adaptwithjames: Well… apparently my legs have resigned from their position as my reliable mode of transport. 😂♿️ After several falls this year, my Occupational Therapist recommended I look into a wheelchair. NHS Wheelchair Services assessed me and decided a power chair would be a great addition to my life. With my Motor Neurone Disease progressing, my right leg getting weaker and my arms and hands almost completely useless, I can’t catch myself if I fall anymore. So… I’m officially a wheelchair user. ♿️ But I haven’t given up walking. This gives me another option when I’m tired, going further, or walking simply isn’t safe. It’s adapting, staying independent and reducing the risk of injury. A massive thank you to Thomas and NHS Wheelchair Services for making a difficult milestone much easier. ❤️ New wheels, new chapter… and I’m officially back on the road! 😂♿️ So keep your eyes peeled… you’ve been warned! 🚨😂

how cool that someone who has a physical disability like this NHS worker is able to help others in this way. he's someone who gets how it is to move in the world differently

Ah James, a bittersweet moment but at least you’re safer and it’ll give you some independence

I've been watching your videos for a while and it's sad to see how the body slows down but just know that you should be proud of your self and and the people around you should be proud of you. your a liveing example of to nevwr give up. hope everything goes well for you and you should never be ashamed of being in a wheelchair.

If I ever need a chair I’m getting some serious speed in it. Might as well enjoy it

accepting that your legs are failing is the first step (pardon the pun) having the wheels gives you a new independence and your family a little less to worry about.

Looks brilliant James. When you’ve got an illness like yours it’s a must to adjust. Making things easier and safer are the way to go 😬

My husband cried when he first got a chair, then realised it gave him more freedom, and the chance to use his energy on stuff he wanted to do, it honestly it made a huge difference, and I’m sure you’ll get on fine 🥰🥰
