Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] Question for the group
As an AB mother of a 1 and 2 year old, I find it frustrating that the baby
changing tables are usually located in the HD stalls. Some of them are in
the common area but 9 times out of 10 you have to do the walk of shame if
you see someone waiting whom the stall was intended.
On a different note:
Does anyone have any tips as how to get Medicare to reinstate rehab? Is
it
something where you have to get so bad you have to be checked back into
the
hospital?
My father is 69, c/3 c/4 partial, and he does incredibly well with rehab.
However, since they have released him about 6 weeks ago he has lost a lot
of
mobility in addition to a lengthy list of problems, and I'm frightened to
see where this is leading.
Do any of you think he should look into a live-in facility for that kind
of
constant therapy? We're struggling to find his options here. Right now
he
feels like he's just wasting away which is so awful because he does sooooo
well with physical therapy.
Also, does anyone have Mercedes Ruins'(sp?) contact information? She has
helped him in the past with all kinds of wonderful information and for
some
reason each email or phone number I find for her, on the internet, is
incorrect.
Thanks for any advice you can offer!

Humm, I guess I see things different than you all on this one. I don't
equate Handicapped Stalls with Handicapped Parking. HP provides equal
access
in that without them many disabled people - especially those who cannot
walk
or push themselves long distances - would not be able to use those
services.
This would be a real hardship for them - us.
HS on the other hand is a necessity for the disabled in most cases but I
see
nothing wrong with sharing it with the AB population. ABs have to wait
their
turn when all the stalls are full, why can't we wait our turn if someone
is
using a HS? We have no idea why an AB would use a HS. Maybe when they
entered the restroom all the other stalls were full.
I guess I'm in the minority but I don't mind waiting 5 minutes for someone
to vacate a HS. I'm just glad there IS one!
