Welcome aboard. in time you will adjust for now take things as they come , learn all you can and give you time to get to know you. We are excellent at increasing limitations when limits are put on us, in front of us or around us ....... if you give things a try when you're ready you just may be surprised at what you're capable of doing or becoming. Happy Holidays to you and everyone in your life. You may go through many things, hopefully growth is one of them.

Well I also welcome you. 
As to the learning to play paintball...as "odd" as it may sound I think if you started playing tennis that it might help you with playing paintball; (I've seen AB's paly it) you'd need one hand for the "gun" which is where I think tennis could help because you have to maneuver the chair with one hand & hit the ball with the other, & it's a much less messy way of getting your one handed wheeling skills up. Aside from that just seeing if there are some paintball-ranges (it's a "gun-range" or "rifle-range" with GUNS so...) that are cement or some sort of hard flat-ish surface instead of grass or dirt would be easier pushin'. After a few months of playing paintball you probably won't even be able to tell what your chair's original color was.
Don't let the chair stop you.....if you want to nail your buddies.....GO FOR IT!
