So I have learned many things while living with mobility challenges. From when I was in a wheelchair up until currently when I travel with my cane. First rule is when traveling outside the country make sure to leave enough time for Murphy’s law to mess with you. You may ask what I mean. Well I remember showing up at airport three hours early and thinking I had all the time in the world. Wrong! While you may be able to ask for an airport employee to escort you to your gate depending on the level of mobility challenge you have it can be a process. When I was using a wheelchair I would have to get the chair checked as well as receive a pat down for myself. So while it should be shorter just do not chance it. Another thing that some might find personal is using the restroom. If you have to use the restroom or think you can use the restroom do so about an hour to hour and half before the flight is meant to depart. The reason is if you wait you may have to go right before you are supposed to board and if you need extra time due to your mobility the plane is not going to wait. The other issue is that you may think I will just use it once I get on the plane. The issue is that often the airline crew is trying to get everyone on the plane as fast as possible so they can be on time, and they cannot take off with someone in the bathroom so there are times they say you have to wait until the flight is in the air. As a person with a lives with a neurogenic bladder and bowel I understand the meaning oh shit. For those who are unfamiliar with these conditions, people who live with them are often unable to control when they have to use the restroom and when nature calls you have very little time to answer. Since I have been living with this since 2006 I no-longer get embarrassed about things that I have little or no control over. I live with it and I do not allow it to control my life. Have I had issues? Absolutely, but I also tend to have poor balance and due to my drop foot I tend to also be prone to falling. The best way I see it is, as long as I can get back up without serious injury I brush myself off and tend to my scraps and move on.
