Riding in a Wheelchair

I only rode in a wheelchair for a few minutes yesterday, but I got just a little inkling of what people with disabilities must feel like when they are stared at.

Despite the fact that I was at a medical facility, some of the other patients were giving me sideways glances, trying to figure out what was the matter with me, I guess.  It was a little disconcerting and it made me wonder what the people who spend a good part of their life in a wheelchair (plus have to deal with the logistics of getting around) feel like when that happens to them.

From an employment perspective, I am glad that there are resources available for people with disabilities, and I'm going to spend more time working on my list.  If anyone can recommend web sites I should add to the list, please let me know.
