When I'm having a good day people think I'm an old guy with a limp and probably don't give it another thought.
On a less than good day people might think I've had a stroke and that the right side of my body just doesn't work so well anymore.
When I'm having a really bad day or the dysreflexia hits me people know I have a real problem and there is no shortage of people ready to help me. If I get dysreflexic in the mall for instance I always have someone offer me a hand.
But if I'm having a good day and just having a little difficulty with a package or some such, there are no offers of help.
Showing people what your life is like on a really bad day is the way to help healthy people understand what you're living with. On a good day there is nothing to see.
PS ...that is the hidden meaning behind my sig line, my natural right handed-ness is a thing of the past
