As you all know B has disabilities,
I haven’t enough fingers to count the amount of spinal and stomach operations he has had over the years,
Hes in constant pain with nerve damage down his left leg, but he never complains.
He uses crutches to aids walking, on bad days or if we are going somewhere where there is a lot of walking has an electric wheelchair.
Then there was the long battle with Cancer.
This doesn’t prevent him from doing jobs around the house or garden, he is just limited to what he can do,
like he can’t lift anything heavy or climb a ladder although if I wasn’t there he would try that’s why I made him sell the extending ladders 🙄.
Outwardly if you seen him sitting in say a cafe or looking at him he looks fine .
Now I was watching something on YouTube last night,
This young man I would say about in his 30s was in a works van and pulled into a disabled bay to go into a nearby shop.
Before he could get out several old people came up to the van and demanded he moved,
He explained he was disabled and had his blue badge , one old man demanded to see it.
He told them it was on the window but they didn’t believe him they accused him of using someone else’s,
By this time several more irate old people were there.
This went on for a while , they were hurling abuse at him and he was being so calm.
Eventually he said I will get out and show you my disability.
He got out of the van and he had two false legs.
Not one old person apologised one even suggested that as he was disabled he shouldn’t be working or driving 😱
Its 2024 disabled people don’t need to be hidden away, life is hard enough but good on him for holding a job down.
I bet half the elderly people with blue badges who were complaining had them because of their age.
Makes my blood boil, don’t judge before you know the facts , yes some take advantage of disabled bays but just because your young and have a van doesn’t say your not disabled.
This young man explained that he has this abuse on a daily basis , how he kept calm is beyond me.
But how bad mannered were these people not apologising,
Not all disabilities are obvious.
