What is really handicapped accessible?

[lydialou]

Since I have been on crutches following surgery, I haven't been out much. But I have suddenly remembered something from my first surgery. Handicapped acessible is such a laugh!

Are there really bathrooms that are accessible? I mean I haven't really found any. Let me explain. There is a stall in the ladies room. But the problem is-I can't get the door to the bathroom open from the hallway. Once I get inside it is better. But the door is a pain in the patootie. Yesterday I had to ask a stranger in the hallway to open the door for me. I am glad I planned ahead of time-if you get my drift. Actually I went to the bathroom in three places and had to ask for help with the door to the ladies room every time.

I use the regular stall rather than the large stall. Why? I can balance myself better with the smaller stall than in the larger one.

Then, of course, you have to get out of the bathroom and there is again the door to the hallway issue.

Would anyone like to whine about handicapped accessible?

Have fun and hey-maybe make some suggestions.
