"Confined to a Wheelchair"
Many physically disabled people have complained about the phrase 'confined to a wheelchair', saying that their wheelchair is not confining, it is freeing. I accept that it's true for them. But it's not true for everyone in a wheelchair.
I've been volunteering with disabled kids. One kid I met while volunteering was this girl who's very delayed, possibly physically disabled as well. She has a wheelchair. I think it's accurate to think of her as confined to a wheelchair, the same way an 8 month old is confined to a stroller. That's because, like most 8 month olds, she can crawl really fast. However, she can't push her wheelchair independently.
Therefore, she has more freedom of mobility outside of her wheelchair. Her wheelchair is confining.

absolutely true. I am a person with cerebral palsy, i too cannot propel the wheelchair. However, i use crtuches and am far more indepedent. when i sit on a wheelchair i am confined to it and the confinement is akin to a prison confinement for me......
I myself had a best friend whose sister was blind. It was a blessing every time you would be around her. She would always smile and make sure the world is treating her well..
She is the definition of 100% pure and all I want to do is wish her the best! But I do know one thing though, she is most definitely not imprisoned to confinement.
