First Wheelchair-related Injury

I managed to get the chair un-frozen. And I learned that I could wheel around in my house on one caster with little problem.

I'd seen a couple of nifty You Tube videos on popping wheelies and while I had done one accidentally last Sunday, I decided I needed to master them.

I wheeled over to an empty area of the living room, managed a wheelie and promptly landed on my back. I also hit my head on something relatively hard. It turned out to be the basket with all the cat toys in it. Ow. I mean...ow.

Using my injured head, I decided to try it against something softer - like the couch. Much better.

I wouldn't say that I've mastered the wheelie but I've got a good start at it.
