mobility aids are tools. you don't need to sustain a certain amount of burn damage from flipping your omelettes with your hands to deserve the spatula.

also not every mobility aid or tool for dealing with disability is a "medical device"! good shoes that keep your feet from hurting? those adjustable walking sticks? a pop socket for your phone to keep you from hurting yourself balancing it on your pinky? all that shit counts

i basically got a wheelchair just to go for little walks at the zoo and botanical gardens because previously those would knock me out with pain for days at a time. it's really improving my mental health
