Isn't a hotel a temporary "home". Without a person or animal with me, I cannot fully enjoy the accomodations due to my disability.

I'll be there with a friend who has MS and walks with a stick. So any suggestions on what we could do for the day would be great. Thanks!

I am deaf but sever to profound in my left ear and I can hear some out of my right ear. My family thinks I can be able to hear all my life but I warned them not to get their hope up because I may be deaf like happen to one of my friends who went from hard of hearing to profound (can't hear at all. No or very little precentage of hearing left). I am kind of scared because I got use to hear some noises like tv very loud and dog barking or whatever... I know I will be okay if I lose my hearing fully but yet again, I am afraid of losing my hearing. Is this feeling normal even I am deaf but can hear some?

My son will be 17 in October and has left school now. He has a slightly disabled hip but can walk ok so he would like a job as an office junior, filing, photocopying, data entry, that kind of thing. He makes a nice cup of tea too. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I live in London and have been looking for a flat, but many I have viewed have caused me problems because of very small bathrooms, too many/tricky stairs which I can't cope with because of my sight and other physical impairments.
My local authority won't advise as they only deal with council tenants (which I'm not), and even my local CAB haven't a clue, so I thought maybe one of you might know of an advice service

Ive started a campaign for heating allowances for disabled/ terminally ill people. It is to try and convince the Government to extend the winter fuel allowances that the elderly currently get to people with disabilities or illnesses.

So far I have paid for everything myself, and I am no longer working (since feb this year) due to Ill health. The website itself is cheap, but the stationary aspects of it is creeping up and I seriously need sponsorship or help with advertising or printing etc.

Several Charities are standing by my side, and I' m doing all this from home.

You can find the site at : http://www.fightforheating.com/

I have also petitioned the PRIME MINISTER you can find it at : http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/fightforheating/

If you are , or have a friend/family member or loved one who is disabled, please sign the petition if you agree.

If anybody can help at all, please use the contact us link on my website.

Thank You Very Much For Reading This

My baby niece is kind of sick and she is still in the hospital. We go to see her every week, and if my mother and i go there on Sundays we attend church in the hospital. (yes, the church in the hospital) I always get so chocked up during mass when i see the injuried/disabled people in their wheel chairs because i know that they are probably hurting. (also because it's so peaceful to be their) We pray for them, and the preist give them hugs and blesses them. it feels so good to be there because they don't judge you and they see you for who you truly are.

are you sensitive like me?

Is it shapes and shadows? Or is it just blurry vision, and can a screen magnifier improve the vision on a computer?

I was born with a malformation on my brainstem. As a result, I have facial paralysis and some visual problems. My disability is somewhat noticeable to others, depending on how long you look at me. People have on occasion asked me about it. My friends and I disagree on whether it is out of line. Personally I'm not really bothered. I feel that if it starts a dialogue it's a good thing. What is your opinion on this?

Thanks in advance.

How many of you feel ashamed, humiliated or embarassed, and like a "loser" when you ask for and have to fight for assistance you deserve to receive?

Such as asking for, fighting with Workers Compensation when you have a legitimate work accident?

I am so used to being independent and self reliable that I just cringe and start to cry when I have to ask for assistance. Then I feel even more humilitated.

I know its probably about pride, which is about all I have left and not very darn much of that. If you are like me you WANT to say "in your face" I can take care of myself - but in reality I cant, I am homeless now. Scared to death.

Its a very hard and bitter pill to swallow.

My heart condition is one that can cause sudden death....which I came close to when I went into cardiac arrest about 7 years ago. I do have an AICD implanted wich keeps me from fatal arrythmias. The fact is I am still limited as to what I can do. so my question is, am I disabled or not?
