Then after KLD gave the OP multiple solutions gjnl, smashms, and hugheswf all chimed in with no productive input to the thread, offering not even the tiniest hint of a solution to the OP's dilemma (which I imagine is rather urgent) and instead whining about an AB telling a cripple to plan ahead.
I truly feel bad for y'all. How do you navigate life with such delicate sensitivities?
Maybe I just have a thick skin so I'm able to deal with things, but I honestly don't see the "thing" y'all have your panties in a wad about. I mean look at smashms post. He (assuming you're a guy here, I hope you're not emotionally scarred for life if you're a woman and I assumed the wrong gender based on your avatar) criticizes KLD suggesting people bring extra supplies, then goes on to explain how he brings extra supplies and should probably bring more...
Sorry, I realize I'm on a bit of a rant. Everyone reacts differently to SCI. Perhaps for me, having tubes shoved up my junk and lying in my own feces for a few weeks, lying awake and naked on a surgical table with a dozen people looking on and the humiliating experience of needing my parents to wipe my ass at age 25 made me unable to appreciate subtle biases or insults (honestly have no idea what you guys think is wrong with KLD's comment) from ABs because I've got bigger things to worry about and no ability to be embarrassed or insulted any longer. Maybe others of you who have (presumably) gone through similar humiliating experiences ended up even more sensitive to them rather than desensitized like I did. Or maybe I'm just starting to get old and this new politically correct generation has to find something pejorative or bigoted in everything that is said.
