Last weekend I was away which usually brings into focus those things I can't change being disabled such as difficulties getting into coaches with my legs as I had to use a rail replacement bus rather that the train due to engineering work or getting up a long stairwell to have a wash and that when you're staying with friends.
That's pretty much the thing cos you can't expect them to fix everything like stairwells just for you any more than anyone else.
It doesn't mean that they're not things if you are staying together you could do to help like this for instance:
If I ran with a tray in my hand even assuming I was able to hold on to it with my hand shaking, it's very likely it would be at an angle with the risks of spillage as I'm so unco-ordinated which is why it's so important to either let us go around with someone to help us get food before people start pushing and diving in or for you to actually get and carry it for us.
It is okay to ask if I or anyone like me would like some help in situations like this and please consider our difficulties where you're getting yours and I'm trying to get mine so I don't loose my balance, tripping up.
Small things often make our lives better.
