This is what's been making my life (& my siblings') hell! --> "Now we have old and disabled people who prefer to insist that they are young and healthy (University of Michigan) rather than deal with reality." Having spent a lot of time w my elderly parents lately (an 88 yr old mom w a lot of physical limitations & an 89 yr old dad w cognitive decline), I've noticed more than I otherwise would how much of the world is NOT friendly to their needs: McDonalds' w kiosk/screen ordering vs real people; QR codes and apps for everything vs customer service ppl or simple phone calls; all the digital screens, etc, required to schedule and navigate even health appts. We've come a long way, but there's still work to do. (Glad you found a work around to your sprain that works for you, & I hope you are soon fully healed)

I know! This is a problem, and we haven't dealt with it, and I really don't know what the solution is.
