Hi Jenn,
I am very sorry you had to meet up with an ignorant person such as that lady was to you as well as those security guards. I do have to say "Go Mom" to your mom...gosh I love that woman!!! I'm glad she told them all a few things. Sweet!
I think what Litlove said is true about time to get a wheelchair. People will look at a wheelchair as you are soooo dependent on it but we as RSDers look at it as being more independent. This way people will leave you alone. You will get stared at alot too and people will still say rude things to you esp when you look young. I try to educate people about rsd and try not to get offended by the looks and questions they make. Later I laugh about them because they are so rude. You can use the wheelchair to keep some of your strength. I would add anything to it that helps you last through the game. I use a pillow to sit on and a blanket to wrap around my legs. I was thinking you can get some school stickers or make up some and have your kids put them on your "ride." This way the kids won't feel strange about having their mom in a wheelchair and it will lighten things by having the school colors or stickers on your wheelchair. Also, the kids will probably fight over the chair as my son and his friends have done in the past. They got real good using it around the house and can do wheelies on it too lol. Kids are usually fine about canes and wheelchairs it's the adults that have a hard time with them.
Also, I would send a certified letter to the school admin letting them know how rudely you were treated and how that lady was so nasty to you and your family. I would have stayed there and said "Yes, we are in the right spot." And if she gave you any crap I would have told her to mind her own business and stop being rude. She sounds like you needed to open up a mom can of whup a@@ on her haha. But it seems like you mom had that part all handled ;.). Hang in there and try to make all outings as easy for YOU and not other people. Best of luck.
