So true Don. I was leaning on the bench outside our village shop getting my breath back after struggling to walk up there when a guy about the same age as me said ' you need to get fit' as he passed me. Couldn't waste the breath to put him right.
Exactly. So ignorant. Got that years ago (when i was fitter too).Everyone thinks that . Do try using a stick . I have got arthritic hip and just started using stick and --- it is magic---doors open, people stand aside, offer to carry things. Chairs fetched It is very difficult to accept gracefully actually.
Go for hip assessment Thurs .just stage one of long process

At a friend's funeral, very poor mobility, on a walking stick. Came to a door (all glass) a lady the other side watched me painstakingly balance, take my stick off the floor, move it to my other hand (so stick in the air), put my hand on the door to pull it towards me. She then grabbed the door handle on her side and yanked the door towards her. Wondered when I was annoyed, when I barely managed to stay upright.
My husband, who has a stoma, came out of the disabled loo the other day and was told sharply by a woman “that is a disabled toilet”. Peter said, equally sharply, “not all disabilities are visible”.
