Re: [QUAD-L] Caregivers

Personally I don't care what I look like or how much room might take up in a restaurant when I go out to eat.  I tell the hostess that they need to place me somewhere where I'm not going to be in their way.  I tell them that I cannot fit underneath a table and I am not going to be moving out of their way continuously if they put me in the middle of an aisle.  I have always been placed in a very nice spot of the restaurant and I have been out of their way so they can do their job.  I have never missed a gathering of family or friends because I was too afraid to be singled out.  I know I'm different because I am in a wheelchair and people are going to stare even if I did fit under the table.   Jam
