that leaves mixed company and hangs out with the guys? Notice how the guys fawn all over him?
Fact is they don't.
They treat him like an equal and although most of them do keep an eye on him they don't do a damned thing for him that he can't do for himself. He's expected to pull as much of his own weight as he can.
If a guy in a wheelchair is opening the refrigerator to grab a beer or something he is likely as not to hear someone ask him to grab him one while he's at it.
The guys will cut him no slack and only do for him what he can't do for himself and if he asks for help in doing something he damned well can by himself he's going to often get a dirty look.
The loss of a couple of legs or something doesn't mean he's not one of the guys.
Say what you will about this but the truth is that the guys generally leave their handicapped buddy with the things that matters most, his dignity, pride and independence.
