Stilettoes and a Wheelchair... Comfortable?

   Some serious trolls on the internet like to see the downfall of disabled people. Here is my simple message to you.  Today I received an Anglican Rosary. I have a book about praying the psalms with a rosary. I find it helpful to use alongside contemplative prayer.  And so one of my pairs of stilettos turned up. I have ordered 4 pairs to give variety to the experiment. I ordered a size 6, which are too big. So I ordered 2 more in a size 5. I attempted to stand in them, but oh no, I landed on my backside. I need to be able to at least stand in them in case I need to get up quickly. Any tips? For those who do not know. I am wearing these heels in my wheelchair. Please see my previous post in full. It is to challenge what people think about wheelchair users, whether they can walk and what that means. Is someone undeserving of a chair if they can walk short distances?  Are wheelchairs only for paralysed people? Let's challenge the norms!
