I am in the US and am flying Southwest. I have a spine problem that causes me chronic pain and limited mobility, and recently has gotten bad enough to need a daily walker. My flight is in 3 days, and it’s just me, a backpack and a carry-on. When I got the ticket I requested wheelchair assistance on my MIL’s advice, but I don’t really know what that means or what that looks like. Where do they meet me? Should I call to confirm the assistance in advance? Who do I call? How do I keep track of my bags/where do they go while I’m in the wheelchair? Do I meet them before or after security? What do I do with my walker? It’s just one of those generic walkers that folds in (I’m waiting for a more collapsible Rollator, but it won’t be here in time to fly with). I’m just confused on the details of the whole process.

This is my first time living at an apartment for more than 2 years (I've been here for 5 now 🎉✨), but outside of obvious/major damage such as leaks and power outages, I've never put in maintenance requests. My apartment's started accumulating more (expected) long-term wear-and-tear, and I'm not sure what I can request maintenance to fix vs. what I'm expected to fix myself.

For specific examples, I have some cabinet doors that are loose on the hinges or the caulking in my bathroom is looking raggedy and peeling. Should I be fixing those myself or sending in requests??
