    Check this thread out on the CB

    There's a thread on the Community Board about the new Disney movie, "Bubble-Boy". I'd be interested to hear what some of you people here on the DisAbilities board have to say about it. The post is by songbird and is called "Bubble-Boy: Should they or shouldn't they?" Sorry I don't know how...

    Anyone here on Glucophage?

    I, too, take glucophage and occasionally have diarrhea because of it (no nausea, though.) I recently have had had some problems keeping my type II diabetes under control (probably due to the extreme stress I've been under the last five months) and the dr. prescribed Actos. He siad it was...

    Lost my Vet status and posts!

    No rush -- no pressure -- I'm just a little sad that I lost my Vet status and post count with the new boards. I think I had over 300 or 400 (can't remember now). I'd love to have them back, but if you can't do it, that's ok, I'll understand. Thanks!

    Photos of strollers at Universal???

    Thanks M. Gram. That's what I basically wanted to know -- if they were the hard plastic, or jogging type. We're taking our own for the baby so she can sleep, but were trying to decide if we should take another one or just rent at the parks for the other two little granddaughters. What you...

    Photos of strollers at Universal???

    Is there a place on the internet to see photos of the single and double strollers that they use at Universal? WDWIG has photos of the ones at the Disney parks but I'd like to see what they use at Universal. Anyone have a link for that? Thanks! <font size="5" color="#FF0066" face="Amazone...

    Need encouragement from some of you who have "been there, done that"!

    I posted the following on the community board, but am bringing it over here to my friends on the disABILITIES board, too. I have thought of you so often the last few weeks, even though I couldn't come to the DIS, because I know some of the things we are just learning to deal with now, are...

    Never thought I'd get to Disneyland!

    HI! This is my first time on this board. I never expected to get to Disneyland, since we live in Indiana and it seems easier to go to WDW. (Never been to California at all.) We have a BIG family trip planned to WDW in May with about 30 members of the family going, including all my kids and...

    It seems to be open season on wheelchair, stroller and ecv users

    Thanks to those of you who answered the post on that other thread. I wanted to, but not having much experience with wheelchairs/ECV's, I left it to those of you who do -- and was so proaud of the way you handled it. Puffy2 -- don't let people like that discourage you. We will be using a...

    What would you like to see in a disabilities guide book?

    Hi! I was just browsing the disABILITIES board last night since I haven't been here for a while and read this thread with interest and excitement! How's it going with this project? Are you all still working on it? <font size="5" color="#FF0066" face="Amazone BT">Cindy</font> <IMG width="135"...

    My afternoon/evening in a wheelchair at Epcot

    I really enjoy talking about my son when people (and especially children) ask questions about him. And I don't mind staring if it is accompanied by a smile -- as if they are thinking Robbie is cute or funny or loveable (and he is all three of those things!) I DO mind staring in a rude, ugly...

    constructive ways to deal with staring

    And BTW, thank you for this site and the support you all share with one another. I just found it tonight, and I can see already that this is just what I needed -- not only for our upcoming trip to WDW, but for everyday life, too.

    constructive ways to deal with staring

    I'm sitting here crying as I read this thread on staring. My ds is 24 years old and severely mentally retarded -- he functions at about an 18 month level. When he was younger, I could handle the staring, and often used those opportunities to share a little bit about Robbie and his problems --...
