I can understand what you are going through th be different than the others in the family. A good many times we thinkj differently than they might, and for sure, most5 of them dont junderstand what is happening. Theare is no way I can see that a piece of wood layed over the stairs for a temporary ramp could hurt a thing. As far as thea chair doing the carpeting any harm, I dont think so. THAT IS A CROCK OF BULL. I really shouldnt sound off like that but thingsa like that make me angry and I guess that is just the way I am. In reality, I think those of us without what might be considered a disanbility are afraid of what it might be likje with one. All which is seen by them is the negative side of things and never the abilities and thea desires of those jof us with them. There are more preferable ways to assist someonea in moving about than DRAGGING them from place to place as you discribed. It sounds likje the day was living hell and I would not have wanted to have indured it. I think I would have left. There is no reason for them to be that way, fears or not. Some person who trys to make themselves look big by putting another person down is only making themselves look little, or should I say SMALLER THAN SMALL. If yoou would like, I have no objection to you printing my comoments and giving it to them. I hope you do///// That kind dof thing really gets me mad. I never have tried apple oor plum wood with turkey but I am going tyo try to get some before I do the next one. Hope things get better up your way.
