I would just like to tell people that when a person is handicapped, we don't like to be stared at like we are aliens. We didn't want this. I would give anything to park in the farthest parking space from the door. I don't look handicapped & I get looks from un-understanding people UNTIL I put on my oxygen hose. I breathe heavier than the normal person just sitting there & that's because my lungs are restricted. I'm getting over weight because I cannot exercise. So until you wear a person shoes, please don't judge them!
Curious...have you ever seen a chiropractor that uses applied kineisiology(sp)
after my accident had hard time breathing and moving lungs. rib cage very restricted. she has done wonders in that she actually gets the ribs to free up so the lungs can breathe easier...something to think about.
