I love it as both for social interaction and competitive basis but the social interaction is so important. I love the social aspect of it because people are able to see everyone's strengths. I actually took part in showing the Boy Scouts adaptive field which was awesome and they tried it out as well. It was also entertaining watching them get tied down so their legs couldn't move (they didn't know what to do LOL). And when I did adaptive fencing, they would have a few of the abled fencers come try it out during practices (not only to give me extra practice but also for them to try something new) and it was great. We always looked forward to those practices. It's a great way to bring people together and open different people's eyes to one another.

Hmm I think it's depending on a person's medical history. I've never actually thought about if I do that or not. I don't think it is necessary but again every wheelchair user is different.

As a wheelchair user, we prefer the term of being a wheelchair user rather than being wheelchair bound but I understand the usage of term within your question. Now, to answer your question—I was only four years old when it happened so I actually don't really remember much of my 'walking' days and only ever remember being in a wheelchair. So there really wasn't much of a lifestyle change for me.

The hardest about writing is knowing when it was done or questioning if it was good enough to even think about publishing. Now the hardest part of publishing was figuring out how to go about it. Whether it'd be traditional publishing or self-publishing. After trying the traditional way, it didn't seem to work out so I decided do self-publishing which right now seems to be a good choice.

I love tacos! I'm actually very simple when it comes to tacos. I like hard shell with extra meat (preferably it being ground beef) and cheese.
