tool of airport wheelchair

[Guest guest]

Well, Martha, I can understand that. My brother is similiar. When he

picked me up several years ago, he says 'get up and walk to the car' -

this was after a 16 hour Cairns/Sydney/LA flight with definnite jet lag

and some spradic sleep, but I had some airsickness too. " No " I said, and

off he pushed me to the parking lot another million miles away. Last

trip back from Raro he was much improved:)

Now he just makes sure I get to check-in and the airlines has a wc for

me - I graciously thank him and say 'you can go now'. I realize one

cannot say that to a spouse!

Wonder if your hubby could just walk some distance behind you while you

are being cared for by the airlines? Guess some people, even in our

families have a 'wheelchair stigma thing', not realizing HOW a wc as

tool can help us have a pleasant time.

Now my girlfriends and male friends have no problem with this airport/wc

tool thing, just bro! ~ Gretchen

which he says I did when I did pre-boarding. He is really good about everything

else associated with CMT but he is really funny about that.
