• Fighting the fat rolls

  Generally speaking, muscle is more metabolically active than fat, i.e. every pound of muscle burns far more calories just by existing as compared to fat and other body tissues. So, the supercharged arms and shoulders will actually work in your favour compared to if you were using an electric wheelchair.

• Who needs airport assistance?

  I agree with LWG. My best friend has severe fibromyalgia and other invisible impairments and can't walk very far and certainly can't stand for more than a minute or so (if forced to do so, she's quite likely to throw up). She had wheelchair assistance at the airport the other day and was actually told to get out of the chair because "we need it for someone else" - luckily she is quite assertive and was also with her husband and basically told them where to go, but she has no medical evidence of her illness that she could carry around with her as she has had too many completely incompetent doctors. If she *had* been forced out of the chair she would have been made even more extremely ill, and might well have collapsed and/or been incapacitated for weeks.
