As for my wife`s injury I had never said that it was immobilizing her,my first post was on the day of the injury and in the next 2 days things progressed well enough for her.
Also when at the airport we requested the agent for either a comp upgrade or we were ready to pay having made our mind to spend the money,it was the airline discretion to give us the upgrade so having conned the airline did not exsist unless you have some different meaning for the word con.
As for Fish what offended me was the word sympathy used in a derogatory manner.
Anyways learnt my lesson about this forum.

Actually, it's J
GX but that's of little relevance.
The part that confuses and worries me is how, if, as you say the injury didn't immobilize or incapacitate her, she allowed herself to be placed in a wheelchair for goodness sake?!?!?
Wheelchairs cause HUGE extra work for the crew, handling and check-in staff. Often they cost the airline extra money and are also limited in number at certain airports, so by allowing herself to be placed a wheel chair, she could well have taken the place or caused a delay to some one who
genuinely needed to be in a wheelchair.
Out of interest, was she also upgraded on the second sector?
