Margaret's Dilemma

[LorandJon at aol.com]

Margaret,

Every medical center has a social work dept.  Go to the dept and report your 
dilemma to them.  If you don't see results contact an Independent Living 
Center nearest you.  They will be more than willing to assist you in this 
matter.  

Are you able to use the second floor restroom without difficulty?  If so, 
they may suggest you use that restroom instead.  In this day and age, all 
restrooms should be wheelchair accessible.  As you know, that is just not the 
case.  Hope the links help.

One of the main medical buildings in the city has "handicapped accessible"
restrooms only on the first two floors. I went down to the first floor,
inside the restroom, and there's an el-shaped cubicle for "handicapped." No
way could I figure out how to get the wheelchair in, turned and approaching
the stool so I could transfer. If the wheelchair were in frontwards, the
door wouldn't close behind me. Then turn it. Hah! I don't know to whom to
report it, but I'll be going over the links sent out this morning by Laurie
to see what the possibilities are. Margaret Lauterbach
