It’s a scary jungle out there when you can’t walk. WildKat TV’s “how-to” terrain wheelchair videos are just the thing for freshies with no clue. Watch here

I know WildKat (Kimberley Robbins) and she is currently trapped in a rehab unit in Newfoundland, after severe spasms caused her to injure herself in the bath and she was hospitalised last summer. She now has a Permobil chair (after months of trying to persuade rehab staff that using a powered wheelchair with a guide-dog is normal for blind people who need wheelchairs) and is struggling to get doctors there to refer her to a hospital outside the province who can operate to hopefully fix the spasms (which cause her repeated injury), as they have been refusing to do — they are planning to just put her in a nursing home. She is unlikely to ever be as independent as she was at the time these videos were made (which was early 2009).
