The Staring Stalemate
Brilliant article, know exactly how you feel, even my parents do the sizing up of other patients while im in being tortured by the new registra and then they report back!
The other day an old lady said "i like you purple wheelchair very snazzy" i thought " i like your walking legs - wanna swap?!?"
Face to Facebook
I became disabled at 18, just after i had left school. I have since heard that there was rummer that i stepped on a plug - this is apparently the reason i am now a para from chest down. !?!?!?!?! Do i spend the rest of my life explaining this is not true and i actually have a rare brain disorder or do i carry on looking shiftly at plugs infront of old school friends????

There's no such thing as a free haircut
WHAT?? A mere £14 discount, you are obviously not being disabled enough!! I had my hair coloured last week and was charged just £15, my friend has the same length hair and same type of colouring technique done - the only difference is that she is not disabled and paid £70 if my math is correct i get £55 discount.

This discount may be due to the fact i have to be literary bumped down three steps then have to be gawped as i have it cut/coloured because the womens hair cutting area is not accessible so i have to have it done with the men. Grrrr
Assisted suicide: for and against
From what i read of the transcript, and i didnt read it all. Noel sounds very much as i did when i first became disabled. up to the age of 18 i lived my life the way i always thought and then it was suddenly taken away. He sounds incredibly depressed, and if the people in Switzerland do their psych tests properly he will not be accepted. Im now 22 and isuppose i have sorted my life out relitivly quickly, i have to rely on people to help me live my life. I have daily (2-3) seizures a day, and am paralysed from my chest/waist down and spend alot of time in bed alone, but ive got a bit of fight in me. My parents said the least helpful thing at the time "pull yourself together" but maybe it has toughend me up. I go to college and see people everyday much worse of than i am and not in a disabled way. We have one life and its pretty short anyway, its very sad noel feels this way about himself, but not that we should ever argue who is worse than who but he could really pull his life around.
