Just a little venting...

Let's talk briefly about the accommodations made for persons of physical disabilities. It is 2008 and I used to believe that this meant we understood what modifications needed to be made to accommodate people with a physical handicap. But apparently not! I realize that I am not confined to a wheelchair 24/7, I also realize that I have only been in this situation for 2 and a half weeks, but this experience has shown me a lot. Such as...doors. If their not an automatic door they suck! They are hard to open, close, their heavy and the door handle is too high. Next... bathrooms. I visited my favorite restaurant for my birthday The Yardhouse and was sad to find that their bathrooms were not at all handicap friendly. The entrance to the bathroom had this horrible rubber bumber on the ground that you had to get a rolling start to go over! The actual bathroom was spacious, however when you got to the sink the faucet was too far back and the soap dispenser was too high. I am a tall girl, with long limbs so if I say something was too high or too far back you know it's true. Lastly, curbs. They are the worst invention ever! I think everything should be level with the street. Curbs are horrible! Thank you for listening to my venting. I realize that this experience will pass, but for right now I am learning a lot!
