I had to ride in a wheelchair once and it was not fun!
Awh that is unfortunate,  I hope you are okay now though.  Wheelchairs date back a while, back to 525 CE in Chinese art. 
Yeah I'm all good, it was temporary. And man, I never would've thought it would be in China first.
Yea China made a lot of advancements in early history.  It was considered the dominant culture in East Asia.
I never considered that. So how were they made back then?
At first they were fairly basic, they would add wheels to regular chairs and their art depicted people being moved in those chairs.
Ahh so to the legs of the chairs?
The legs would actually be removed and large wheels would be added to the side of the chair.
