I am a wheelchairuser with a chronic illness. There is a great difference between being born disabled, getting disabled because of an accident and becoming disabled because of a chronic condition that destroys the carcass. With the goal to communicate with those that share a similar fate I made a website called: www.crackingcarcassesonwheels.com. For those that make the best of it and have not lost their sense of humor Travelling. Finding facilities. Sharing experiences through e-mail and guestbook. What's important when buying a wheelchair? How to organise your travels. How to react to judging society.Who cares or helps? All topics of this site. In Belgium the site (translated: www.krakendekarkassenopwielen.be) describes the situation of a wheelchairuser on a more practical bureaucratic level. When one is not paralysed entirely from the shoulders or the waist on one does not seem to get respect as a wheelchair user. Most people whom get an electric wheelchair don't dare to come out with it, not having the guts to face rude remarks, inaccessibility and indifference. Lets give one another support and solidarity, whilst making society aware of our difficult position and lets not forget to see the absurd side of it all.
