This is one of my biggest peeves!
In addition to the MS and associated issues with heat, I had major knee surgery on the 5th and am just now beginning to get around with one crutch. Can't use 2 crutches cause the left arm can't control the crutch [MS issue] DH had purchased a lightweight power chair and we drove to pick it up. Of course we missed our exit and had a wonderful tour of downtown Brooklyn NY. We finally got the chair and were making our way back home & stopped at a rest stop on the turnpike. It is hot and humid as heck and I had been in the car for quite a while, so I was not ambulating very well. I am walking?? up the ramp into the building, after having people breathing down my neck....Hey are you BLIND, can't you see me barely making it up the ramp,I am using CRUTCHES, and I can't go any faster!!Duh! I make it to the ladies room, after being cut off by a young mother and her toddler. Of course the HC stall is occupied.....yep by young healthy Mom & toddler. The only other HC stall is at the other end of the rest room, no way I could make it there. I must say quite a few people offered to help, as I was now swaying in the breeze & struggling to stay upright. My reply to those who offered to help was "Thank You but I am waiting for the able-bodied person to finish using the HC stall" Finally out pops yuppie mom saying "Other people use the HC stall also!" Yes I reply but there is no reason you have to use the stall nearest the door, You can get to the farther stall. I can't!! Yuppie Mom's reply was "Deal with it" My reply was " I was once in your shoes, healthy and with young children and would never have used the HC stall. Just remember Karma is a b%*$h. I may have been rude but I had had it and had to vent. |
