But I don't always have the strength or the desire for fight. I endured because that's all I could do. Maybe not what I should have done, I get that, but disability comes with it a series of situations every day, barriers pop up with surprising regularity, harsh attitudes from strangers are common. And. It. Wears. You. Down. I would tell whoever told me this story that I was sad that that happened to them. I no longer, I finally realized, always know the right answer.

You have the right to speak up and say you're being hurt -- you have the right to ask for something to be changed or someone to be moved so as not to be in pain. You have the right to ask this guy, or the staff.<br /><br />If you were talking to someone at one of your conferences, what would you tell them? <br /> Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029670728705438205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-2350627866084719802018-11-13T10:33:49.923-05:002018-11-13T10:33:49.923-05:00Oh oh....the travel gods were not smiling on you o...Oh oh....the travel gods were not smiling on you on this trip, it seems. clairesmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235828110880302069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-69922754595472187412018-11-13T09:00:41.635-05:002018-11-13T09:00:41.635-05:00I am sorry that you encountered a bully on that fl...I am sorry that you encountered a bully on that flight and then endured his torment for five hours ... and that that wasn't even the worst part of the day.Andrea Shettle, MSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16984732076766787818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-86581392210348623672018-11-13T08:49:46.893-05:002018-11-13T08:49:46.893-05:00Wow and yikes - that sounds awful and worse to com...Wow and yikes - that sounds awful and worse to come??
