What it is like to have TM?

This topic was inspired by a phrase in a note by Sarah0069(AT)aol.com. In
my mind I see a several cartoons:
.................................

Being in a wheelchair and:

confronted by a path with a vacuum
cleaner hose across it.

looking up at a store item on a high shelf

having messy hands with the sink and rags
on the other side of the room

learning (when you have no time to spare)
that the only toilet around has a stall
door too tight for the chair

looking down and realizing that the catheter
bag fell off and was ruptured by the chair

Being on crutches and:

walking into a store with a slippery
floor (someone moping the floor?)

trying to find a parking spot that has
no ice where you will step when you get
out of the car [recent & not funny!]

heading to checkout with something
tucked under you chin [in a store
that has no shopping carts]

.................................
OK, I've tossed out a couple. Anyone else
care to take a turn?

Alton, who had a wry grin while typing these

OK, an irritated grin
