I know from experience that it is better to have no support and have no one to expect it from than have a source from which support should come and it not only doesn't come, but just adds more problems. I am sure your husband will end up much happier to if he can finish as you said, coming out of the cave.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Jill It took me until just recently to actually get one of those " Handicap " signs! Simply because I know that I don't look like I have difficulties when I get out of my raised older Ford SUV. I was so happy to be able to buy the truck; because, I had so much difficulty getting in and out of the old T-Bird. Believe it or not, stepping up from the step, is a lot easier on me, except not sure how much longer the door will handle it, without getting it fixed LOL Also, I have a mattress, pillow and sleeping bag in the back so that I can have a nap if driving gets to be too much. Needless to say, the rude people just wouldn't care to notice and not judge. After all, isn't the world all about them??? Lyncia and Jill - I also just learned that my step-children (of 20 yrs) have absolutely no desire to speak with me at all. Yet, their father can not understand why I would ask - then why do you insist on telling me that they asked about my health?? OHHH I never will understand the thinking a some humans!! Actually, I've always known these 2 were like that and now it just confirms for me, that I don't need to waste another moment worrying about them at all. Gloria ________________________________ Lyncia...... you are loved her so much.....I have had people say rude things to me also.....once when I was Christmas shopping,a man yelled at me...I mean yelled!!!... in the parking lot ..because i had taken a handicapped space( I'm on disability and have a tag for a host of reasons including severe arthritis) Anyway He screamed at me loud enough for others to hear That " Fat didn't count " ! ! I didn't even get mad at him or cry or anything...he was so ignorant!! and my oldest son simply just doesn't care about Ed's cirrohsis or my problems.... .he and his wife never call,never ask Ed how he is,never visit him when he's in the hospital etc. Does it hurt...hell yes,it does...but it doesn't change anything. Our family on this forum understands everything we go through...it' s wht I love it here....and many of our situations are so very similar. Love,Jill We don't remember days, we remember moments.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I just got my second permanent disable placard. But, I frequently forget to put it up there. I don't have a car in my name, so I have to hang it on the rear view mirror. If it were my car, I would have a bumper sticker made saying, " yes I am disabled and one of my disabilities is a bad memory. Sorry if I forgot to put it up. " I get some nasty looks when I do forget sometimes. Especially at the post office where people are going in and out all the time. I also use the electric carts in stores. And sometimes I get looks when I start using one since I had no trouble walking into the store. But, by the time I leave, from sitting in the same position and reaching to get things, then I can barely get out of the seat, so I get no looks then.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks for that information on the store carts, Jan. I know that for sure that the next time I have a reason to go to Home Depot, I will certainly get a cart. That store is so huge, that I barely make it to the reception desk just inside the store. However, as it stands now, I can still make it at least through the middle aisles of Wal-Mart, leaning on a push cart. However, I often wondered about getting around on the store carts and now I know that it's probably just as bad as leaning on the buggy.
