To make it easier for me, I decided to use a wheelchair so I hired one from the health centre nearby. My experiment was going to start from the next day. Physical Challenges I woke up in the morning with dread of not being able to use my legs. I found it extremely difficult to move myself to wheelchair from my bed. As I had tied my legs, the only support I could use was my hands. It took me more than 10 minutes to move from my bed to the wheelchair and adjust myself properly in wheelchair. I fell on the floor twice while doing this. Every effort was making me more worried thinking about how I was going to spend the whole day in wheelchair and how I was going to carry out all the activities. Still, I tried to stay optimistic. I had to attend nature’s call in the morning. I went to the bathroom and was at complete loss as to how I am going to do it. After trying in every way, I was able to finish the task in half an hour. By the time, I finished attending nature’s call, I was completely drained physically. Every move was an effort on both, physical and psychological level. The idea that a large part of my body, i.e. my legs, was motionless and was of no use was making me depressed. However, I carried on somehow and went to the kitchen for breakfast. Moving the wheelchair from one room to other was a great effort for me. I went to refrigerator to get the milk, bread, eggs and apple. I wanted to make an omelet. As I moved to the stove, I realized that the pan was hanging on the hook, which was way above my reach. I was at loss as to how to remove it from the hook. I could barely manage to reach the stove from my wheelchair. Reaching the pan was completely impossible. I went to my room, grabbed the tennis racket, came to the kitchen and tried to push the pan out of the hook with the help of racket. Somehow, I was able to get the pan out of the hook. I realized that the task which would have taken me just few seconds was taking me more than 10 minutes. I prepared the mixture for omelet with great effort. Grabbing the spoon, hand blender and ingredients for omelet proved to be difficult task. My hands were aching by this time as I was using it not only for making breakfast but also for moving my wheelchair. Finally, the omelet was prepared and I ate it with bread without applying butter or jam. I did not have energy to do that. I drank a glass of milk to fill my stomach. By this time, I became sad and distressed with the thought that there are people who live every moment of their lives with physical challenge. I was becoming silent inside. My next plan was to get dressed and go to nearby store. I had chosen Sunday for the assignment as I wanted to encounter more people and study their reaction. I finished my breakfast and washed my plates. Getting the plates to the sink and washing them was very difficult as I had to stretch my hands completely to reach the tap. After cleaning, I went to my bedroom to get dressed. Then I realized that I had to take shower. The very idea made me feel like removing the ropes and taking shower. However, I had to remain true to my assignment so I decided to take the shower without removing the ropes. It took me one hour to take shower as I had to drag myself to the ...Download file to see next pagesRead More
