[Nfbc-info] code of health

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
That was a very excellent article. I have experiences like that quite often,
especially because I also walk slowly due to ankle difficulties. So I am
targeted quite often, even in California. I had this idea, before I moved
here, that Californians were more open-minded and accepting of
anyone--including people with disabilities. Well, I haven't found that to be
the case in Fairfield. I've had to explain how my cane is a tool to help me
get around, that stairs are not dangerous for me (though they could be given
the ankle issues); that I know my way back to my apartment; that I can find
parked cars in the parking lot at my apt complex; that I'm not likely to
fall off the curb; etc. from worried sighted people. I try really hard not
to get impatient but sometimes it is difficult not to and I think I have
occasions when I might not handle over-helpfulness as well as I might like
to. 
Thanks
Lauren
