Wheelchaired Child

You don't really notice certain things in life until they affect you directly.

Courtney has a slight fracture on her ankle and the doctor encouraged her to consider a wheelchair when we visit the amusement parks on our trip to Florida. She hobbled along on crutches to get into the park, but once inside, we rented a wheelchair for her.

It's amazing how many people are using wheelchairs ... people who in the past I may never have notices. Or maybe I would have considered them annoying because they made the Disney tram be delayed for three minutes.

Courtney felt people staring at her quite a bit. She figured they probably wanted to know what was "wrong" with her. Haven't we all wondered that? It was an interesting experience.

Today, we're off to Busch Gardens and another wheelchair. Hopefully, they're as versed at handing the situation at Busch as they are at Disney.
