wheelchair education

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I use a cane when I am not having one of my stubborn days ahah. I use a

wheelchair when I know there will be a lot of walking involved. Now here is the

scoop with the wheelchair rule myself, and my two older sons we all take

turns you should see the people look at us like we are taking advantage of the

situation or something. Since of course, with CMT (or at least for me) I can't

stand or sit too long so doing both is helpful. Yet, I want to scream at the

people because you do not need to be confined to a wheelchair in order to use

one. This is the sort of education that people need to learn, not all people

whom use a wheelchair are confined and some use it only temporarily like for a

broken leg.

Thanks for listening
