~Lynd~ Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 Is it electric or manual? I've always wanted an electric one but apparently I don't 'fit the criteria'. It's manual,so i push myself.People tell me to get an electric but i don't want one i can push myself and am quite strong in the upper body.A nurse once said to me i should go to the gym and when she felt my aarm ate her words becourse it was muscle not fat!
Jess Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 LOL! I don't use a wheelchair often enough for my arms to benefit, but it beats going to the gym!
~Lynd~ Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 It does nothing for the stomach......trust me. I should be going to the gym but it's quite expensive.
Gypsy & Will Fan Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 It makes perfect sense! I mean some people have no idea what its like to have a disabilty! Its bloody hard work! Some people are so patronising, I feel like punching them!
Jess Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 There are some incredibly patronising people! Do you remember the football coach, Glen Hoddle, who said that disabled people 'must've done something wrong in a previous life'? Get real!
~Lynd~ Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 I especially hate being told i can't look after myself.I tought myself to dress myself do my own showering and so on.I had afairly bad Chilhood isolated and just left to sit there for days at a time.I was told i'd never leave home,get maried or finish school.In fact until my foster parents who i call my parents come along i was booked into a home by my previous foster parents.Mum and dad told them to unbook me,i'd just been given a family life and wasn't going into a home to rot. My grades picked up,i left school and now live by myself.It pisse me of to hear people with everyrhing tell me i can't when i damn well can or i wouln't be here today! Rant over,Sorry!
Gypsy & Will Fan Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 Yep, I never liked him! Only good thing he did was find the incredible and sexy Micheal Owen but thats another subject all together! I can't bear people who talk slowly to me like I'm thick, I always talk slowly back saying "I can understand you, I'm not thick." GRRR!
Jess Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 The doctors told Mum to abort me....people say we don't have 'designer babies' - we're bloody well nearly there!
Gypsy & Will Fan Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 Some people just don't get it! It makes my blood boil! I remember a bully said to me at school, you could never have sex you'd break all your bones, well I can safely insure him my bones are all in tact, and I'm defientely no virgin! LOL!
~Lynd~ Posted June 4, 2006 Report Posted June 4, 2006 People sometimes talk about me like i'm not even in the room.I just say ''excuse me i'm here you can talk to my face''.
