I agree with you Jim. I would never miss anything, as I don't care
what people look at me when I'm being fed. They are just curious and I
understand. I've caught myself doing the same thing to persons that are
different from me. It's only normal. I often have to get suctioned in
front of people, I'm not going to stay home if I'm not contagious. I still
want to go out and do things.

Jim, you've
got the right idea. I'm sure that the stares are from people who must
think that Chris Reeve, is still alive, and moved to Minnesota (lol).
You
have also gathered that people react to your actions, and reactions. If
you are totally involved in your group, you will get less reaction. On the
other hand, if you
are floundering, people will react and stare.
But we both know that hungry people all look alike.... lol
Best
Wishes

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.
