RE: Jo I actually think a lot of abled people are more disabled than I am because they only think of 1 way around things and if that doesn't work they panic and don't know what to do. You haver that right!
Jo, some so called normal peole want to help ot "think" they should help so they get uncomfortable and start thinking what they would do if in a situation like yours. The one person asked about you having help because she has not thought of other ways to do things , just like you said. I am not on anyones side here and yes I think you as a normal who does some things differently than I do them. Huggs to you for being putting up with the uncomfortable feelings.
If i see someone different than I am (mother with kids,older person,cane, etc)and it looks like they might be havind some difficulty, I casually ask if I can do something and if the answer is slightly even no, I say something nice about the place, weather, or day and move on.
It's good to hear you enjoyed the park. You get out way more than I do and I don't have a child to look after.
Please pray for me that I won't get any terrible side-effects. Jo, I hope you don't have any unmangeable side effects. You are brave to do this and I never knew how much work and pain was involved in this type of process. I bet most women would not do it.
