Gregory's Server@IceNine I'm a huge fan of being challenged on being able to walk and using a wheelchair, like yes I can walk but not far enough to be useful what the heck do they think the point of a mobility aid is

They can be indeed - that said, there's also the awesome workers armed with chicken biryani. I never know how far I can walk before my legs give up- I certainly don’t want to waste the steps I get that day on walking through a parking lot. I use a cane for short distance, scooter for long. And people used to give me shit about using a scooter to pick up my kids because they saw me walking with a cane on a rare trip to a grocery store. MS varies by person, symptoms vary by day. It would nice of people didn’t assume they know how every disability works. |

Yeh, wife can only walk short distances. A little while ago we couldn't get a space because a couple had taken a mobility space because they "weren't being used" - they got aggressive when challenged, to put it mildly.
Wish they'd been at the place I know you'll get clamped in under 30 seconds for doing that.
