That seems creepy to me, If I were you I would just ask her why she did it and 
tell her you you were uncomfortable. I fortunately have some feeling, but if I 
didn't I would not let my aides know that. A long time ago an aide did try 
something extremely innappropriate and from that time on I swore to let every 
aide in the future know I have feeling. Lets us know how she explains it.

Subject: [QUAD-L] Is this inappropriate touching? 



I am having a tough time deciding if this is wrong or I am being crazy. 

I have Multiple Sclerosis. I am paralyzed from the chest down except for my 
right arm. No feeling at all. I also can not speak. This aide has been with me 
about 2 months, M-F 5 hours a day. Yesterday we went outside on the front porch 
& she was talking to a neighbor. Suddenly she took my keys & ran them across my 
feet. I did nothing. Didn't feel it but saw her movements. She smiled & did it 
over & over again. It was like she did not believe I could not feel it. 

Now I feel this was inappropriate but not sure what she expected to get out of 
her actions. It has made me feel uncomfortable & dread her coming today. 

Maybe I am being weird. What do you think about it?
