Wow me, two blogs in a week! It seems lots of people are telling me about their holiday plans for this year. It seems very unlikely I will go away this year again, but have been looking at a few "disabled friendly" sites on line. I also came across a holiday brochure that I picked up at the last MS life show. Giving you holidays in Europe and with details of how disabled friendly these places were.
What struck me as odd was that all of the places had roll in showers in the bathrooms instead of baths, but if you wanted to be able to use the shower you had to pay extra for a shower chair hire that week. I'm not sure how common this arrangement is in the UK, but does seem very peculiar. Since they have failed to provide a simple chair fixed to wall , means that nearly everyone would have to pay this cost.
Its like charging abled bodied people for the hire of a toilet seat, well we "give" you the toilet but if you want to sit and use it comfortably the extra expense is going to cost you!

That is ridiculous!!!
When I went away to Cornwall in 2006 we checked carefully that the cottage we hired was completely wheelchair friendly.
It said it had a roll in shower but you had to let them know if you needed the shower chair. This was supplied free of charge.
I knew there was a reason I only holidayed in this country lol
I am doing very well. I saw my nueroligist today, and he prescribed me another passle of pills to take. What would he do, if I wasn't doing relatively ok? I shudder to think of it. That is not something I don't want to think about today is Friday April 25, almost another month under our belts.I wander what May, might bring to us? I am almost afraid to ask, that would seem too much like tempting fate...........
