Rolling through Dallas and Chicago

[cjsmith]

I just called American Airlines and reserved myself some wheelchair assistance for connecting between two flights. That felt weird. It's something I've never done before.

I didn't know before looking at the airline's web page, but apparently there are three flavors of mobility assistance: passenger can walk but needs help with stairs, passenger can walk but needs help due to the distance from gate to gate, passenger can't walk much if at all and needs help getting to and from the seat on the aircraft. I fall neatly into a category for the first time in my life.
