I haven't been to 1 restaurant since my sci because of this and I had a really hard time just letting my family watch me struggle to eat much less a bunch of strangers watching me strap on a fork because I'm 1 handed and that gets tricky at times.
But on the other numb hand I'm doing pretty good and learned to eat a hard shell taco, chili dog(not for beginners),pizza(that's easy thank god),hamburgers and just about anything else without cutting them up which is tricky being 1 armed with numb fingers but I make less of a mess than most people do.

I had never heard anyone else complain about their wheelchairs sitting up high and not being able to fit under tables at home or at restaurants. I always felt this was another way that I looked singled out and will only eat at food courts where I can turn side ways to the table. I have missed so many gatherings of my close family at local buffets at the casinos because I would be clogging the aisles . .
Holiday family gatherings are no problems because we cook for 40 and they have to come here if they want to eat. I can use my desk that clamps on to my chair at home.
