Columnist Reflects On Multiple Doctor Appointments and Interactions With Strangers
Hey everyone, here’s Kala’s latest column: https://smanewstoday.com/2019/04/23/leaving-my-house-public-reactions/.
Here she reflects on multiple doctor appointments, and some of the challenges of going out in public. We can all relate to stares from strangers, as well as the challenges of staying overnight at a hotel without our regular equipment.
Do you have any takeaways from this column? Do you have any tips for being in these situations?

Yep. I think we can all relate to these issues.

I do miss those days when all appointments were all wrapped up in a day. We do our best these days to get everything done in the same day, but it’s a rare occasion. The problem with this is if one runs late it puts everything else behind.
Hotels can be difficult. We usually haul the Hoyer and commode chair with us. Definitely a hassle, but virtually impossible without it. Wish things weren’t so expensive I’d buy one of those foldable lifts. Thought I saved a link, but now I can’t find it.
Over the years I’ve gotten so I don’t care as much about peoples reactions to me. I certainly try not to take it personal. Most people don’t really care, they just don’t know how they should respond so they either stare or avoid.
