Just for a Laugh

[rocketmanjohn]

Being in a wheelchair is'nt all bad, the grand kids love to push grandma really fast [so they think] and ride on the back whilst grandma fakes shrieks of fear. We do get some wierd looks, but who cares, it's great fun. It's always strange to see a lot of people who think being in a wheelchair makes one deaf, and shout, always in a slow voice, as though the occupant is nuts as well. We also get people who will address conversation to me, although they are refering to Eve. Why, I don't know, but it happens a lot and it's most irritating. Eve will often say 'I just can't walk, I'm not deaf or stupid'.
By the way, she's only 4 ft 11in while I'm 6ft 1in. Which also gets a laugh. My dad used to say she'd have to stand on a box to put her hat on.
