So, there are handicapped toilets and parking spaces and doorways being used by people with disabilities. I know it's weird, but there it is.yanubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16216993058216698199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233625.post-52912985915378487302009-04-14T22:17:00.000+01:002009-04-14T22:17:00.000+01:00Wow, the crap people have to go through.

And it annoys me that people think that walking is SO much better than using a wheelchair when you have a physical disability. It's not. At least, not for all people.

It's...I do hate the mobility vs. wheelchair thing. It's so unimaginative - and fantastically arrogant, when you are actually telling them how it is for you.<BR/><BR/>The one I've always seemed to have a problem with is the idea that using a wheelchair when I do doesn't actually decrease the amount of exercise I get. I either have the wheelchair or <I>I don't go out</I>. This seems a fairly simple concept to me, but hey. <BR/><BR/>As for magazines in waiting rooms, the Pain Clinic seems to have a vast collection of Weddings magazines - which are awful, full of lots and lots of pictures of <I>the same dress</I>. Though not so bad as at my last Incap. medical, where all that was on offer to us impoverished sick folk were a selection of "Horse & Hound".The Goldfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213378454070776331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233625.post-69909161114632121992009-04-11T21:48:00.000+01:002009-04-11T21:48:00.000+01:00Yes, you're right.
