It is easy, TW, for many to forget how "simple" these things are.
There was a show on TLC, not too long ago where some motivational speakers (remember that, what they do for a living) lived other's lives for a month.
After a week in a wheelchair, just during the day, one of them said that they would kill them self.

I can honestly say that I can remember being on a ramp, as described above, twice, in the last three years, other than hospitals and my home.

I went to a dinner recently and was discussing the bathroom with my wife quietly (she wanted to make sure I was ok... it can be difficult for me sometimes and I was not feeling well), someone overheard and a discussion about facilities began.
I really did not participate. I don't get out much and wanted to focus on positive things... my wife told the story of how we were charged more for a smaller room with no view at a four-star hotel known for the view and how I had been told that this is common in a SCI forum.
Apparently, there was a hospitality major there and he said that he was not surprised. It upset him... he wanted to check his hotel (he was not completely sure about the pricing, he said) but he was not surprised, even though it is illegal. That much he did tell me.

Oh... the entire side of the restaurant had to be rearranged for me to get to my table. It was very strange and a bit embarrassing. I wonder if that is a fire hazard?
