    werre not all equal

    Living in a wheelchair has been a pain in the butt for the past 7 years.
    Not being able to go to a restauant destroys a meaningjul celebration, And it leaves my wife  as the cook, cleaner and bottle washer for our company..
    I have good friends,for the time I have been in awheechair they have tried to find an affordableapartment that has disabled access, They finally did, And they gave up many larger places to accommodate me. I have been there 3 times and it has every thing, There is a pool,a small theatre, a billiard palor, and a gym with lockers and showers that I can use!
    WE all have had to see a physician at on time or another. you wont believe whaat have gone through. One office had a 3-4 inch lip. After a little careless speeding  I was able to breach the step, and stop in time befor I hurt anything or anybody. I went to the landload,Doctor, and he turned his back on me and ran to hide in his office.
     
    My primary Doctor's office had not auto door openrs and I had to complain for 6 yearbefor they were installed. Note that the building was rented by a hospital.
    Well I could go on and on about limited  or no accessibilty but let me hear from you. Your experience may be painful but also helpful if you found a way to get a change, Amen to that.
    No pain with love,
    Frank
