Road Trip Wednesday is hosted by YA Highway.This Week's Topic: What is the strangest/weirdest thing you've ever researched?
I visited my grandmother in Ontario the other weekend, and she asked me if I had any experience with people who use wheelchairs.
Well, not with real people. I have, however, become attached to a fictional wheelchair user over the past year. So, I know a fair bit about wheelchairs (and specifically people with paraplegia), but it's taken a few awkward trips to Google to gain that knowledge.
My search history includes:
- Sex and paraplegia
- Paraplegia and boners (though I didn't use that term)
- Paraplegia sexual function (Are you sensing a theme? All of this research was totally necessary, though. It led to one of my favourite scenes in the novel)
- How do people in wheelchairs bathe
- How to help a paraplegic bathe
- How do paraplegic people use the bathroom
- How to date a guy in a wheelchair (I didn't actually want an answer to this question, but to see how people would answer this question)
