Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 I have gone public and have come to two conclusions- a) You find out who your friends are-- and . I have come to realize that people are so busy in their own lives that they don't seem to make a big deal out of it. Of all of the friends and family that know- I have had only support. If my friends and I travel together or spend the day out- they all make sure to include a time for me to nap, bringing a blanket and pillow. Even when white water rafting- a friend of mine called ahead to make sure that we could get the most experienced guide who has worked with those with disabilities! As for employment- this past week I had a bad spell with the costal chondritis- my employer called me at home to check on me and this is the first she has heard of it. I am a teacher- even the parents of my students called me at home to offer help. Maybe I have been lucky- but I feel comfortable in stating what I have because I now I will have support----good luck and I hope it works out for you.
