Pain mak...Sorry you're in or have been in pain. Pain makes everything else not work - it sucks up mental energy to deal with it. And when you've had it for a while, it seems like you've had it forever and will never get rid of it.<br /><br />Everything about having a body which doesn't work as well as it could is difficult. And interacts with everything else.<br /><br />I can do things other people with disabilities can't - and vice versa. So?<br /><br />We require accommodations. If I'm struggling with my walker, it's nice when someone takes an extra second and holds the door open so I can get through (assuming that's what I need at that moment). Last Sunday I had someone in the Princeton U. chapel climb up on the side stone benches to walk fast past me - she didn't even say excuse me (I would have moved over). In a church! Such behavior. If she had been struggling with a backpack full of textbooks, I would have waited or said, May I help?, or said Excuse me if I needed to get by that bad.<br /><br />Simple human courtesy would go a long way.<br /><br />ABEhrhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211038591900883672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-79485476456315066082016-02-18T15:01:45.639+11:002016-02-18T15:01:45.639+11:00I don't think it is just within the disabled c...I don't think it is just within the disabled community that people are like this. Insecure, ignorant, self-centred jealous people are everywhere. As you say it must be difficult to be them. Please, please try to put their nastiness out of your mind. You only need to be true to who you are and the important people who you love know you.willywagtailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04161501326916060091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1720872153813357167.post-36180364540108661122016-02-18T10:33:34.430+11:002016-02-18T10:33:34.430+11:00Well said.
