We have a supervisor at work who is in a manual wheelchair that he pushes around backwards with one foot. The other day I saw him hooking up to his 30' Travel trailer. He also has a tracked all terrain wheel chair for getting out to his favorite hunting spot. I sure don't think he is letting his mobility challenge holding him back.
The other day while in Cades Cove, Great Smokey Mtn NP, saw tracks from an all terrain wheelchair 1/2 mile from the parking lot before a log prevented his progress.
What I'm trying to say is the mobility will only slow him as much as he will let it stop him.
Let's also not forget those that will never walk again according to the docs but are now walking or some even running marathons.
I think you are worried to much about the bad that could happen and should instead be concentrating more on his recovery while getting back to doing what y'all enjoy.
