Are We Disabled?
Posted , 14 users are following.
Hi,
I'm planning a trip south next month by public transport and although I don't have a disabled 'sticker' or anything to say I am disabled, I'm wondering if anyone has? I have been told I'm disabled because I have an 'artifical hip' but never considered myself disabled? I walk with a stick outside more often than not, and my hip aches at times but......disabled?

The people with congenital and other hip and bone deformities will come under the disabled umbrella

Take care and don't fall off.
I fell off a bike in India, because young cyclists were so interested and crowded all sides of me trying to chat and causing my fall.
I haven't been on a bike since.
In Norway I was run over by a young cyclist!
On both occasions my knees spurted blood like a tap causing the young people to feel really contrite and apologetic.
I am sure you know the region where you cycle and all will be well.

Cycling in London is not to be undertaken lightly, and I cannot cycle outside anywhere just yet, from 6 weeks at least I believe, possibly more. I will be taking up indoor cycling machine again since my physio cleared it yesterday.
All looking positive for a change.

Sounds like I may be in for a fasttrack returnto work too ........... it will be such a relief to return to normality (whatever that is) of work in London, and being off this open-ended sick leave.
There - never thought I would be saying that !

My consultant also said no cycling on the road, the risk of being knocked off is too high and will probably mean another trip to him!! I thought about this deeply, as I love cycling outdoors, but decided cycling inside is better than nothing and will cycle around lakes etc that are car less at the weekends instead.
My brother has been knocked off his bike in London several times, I am not sure you will bounce so well Rocket or would want to, and probably it isn't worth it for one lousy taxi driver or whoever isn't looking that day.
