Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yes, I've been locked in lavatories too! Often doorhandles/locks are difficult to open with MS. And how many times have I washed my hands, only to find that the paper towel is on the other side of the room so you have to wheel your chair with wet hands. While I'm having a moan about public bathrooms, the mirrors are always too high up, the soap dispensers and taps too hard to work, they often have infrared light sensors that will only come on if you can stand up and wave your arms around, and most times you can't flush the loo from a wheelchair without practically disappearing down the bowl! My husband now knows to come in search of me if I've disappeared for more than 10 minutes as I'm probably having a problem with the door/my knickers Janet To: mscured@...: brosta@...: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 21:08:53 +0000Subject: Study Janet, you were lucky, I went to a Wal Mart's washroom on my mobility scooter. Did what I had to do, got back on my scooter and headed for the door. I could not open it my scooter was in the way. Tried this way and that way all without success. An hour later my partner had missed me. After he had searched the store, he sent a shop worker to search the washrooms where she found me still struggling.Any advice anyone when you've gone to a restaurant with a disabled bathroom and, whilst you can get in there with a wheelchair, you find it has no grab rail and the wc is not near enough to the wall to be able to lean on.Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
