Honestly i feel like my whole life revolves solely around the necessity of using bathrooms.

Oh my gosh! This is the worst!! I never imagined this being a problem! But it is! Alot of bathroom say there accessible they are not. The designers think if they put a bar up somewhere anywhere or if there is a couple more feet bigger that it's complient. I love the ones that have the little toilets (sarcasm). Paper towels and soap where you can't reach. 98 percent of the so called accessible bathrooms are not. Public restrooms are the worst. Even the so called family restrooms are not helpful. I make sure to use my bathroom b4 I leave my home to go anywhere.I wish there was a standard model for accessible bathrooms for all public restrooms designed by people with varying disabilities.

I once broke my ankle and a caregiver came to my house to help me once a day.
That's when I learned to use the shower hose while sitting on the toilet.

I relax my anal sphincter, let the water in (it was difficult to learn at first) and do an enema.

I NEVER HAD TO WORRY ABOUT USING PUBLIC BATHROOMS WHEN I GO OUT AGAIN!!!

1. File complaint with your local federal assistant attorney general. You would be surprised when they send federal marshal to establishment. 2. use fb to leave feedback for that establishment. 3. find chains, i.e. starbucks, mcdonalds...etc. that have the accessible bathrooms for your needs, they are usually the same 'everywhere including in foreign countries! 4. hospitals, need to go? find local hospital they generally have equipped bathrooms 5. file pro se federal lawsuits against offenders...your won't get much money but you will get a lot of satisfaction, remember that is our weapon...the disabled 'fighters' know this is only tool we have. cheers, Fred
