Disability
in answer to Frank Ledger magazine issue April 2019, my husband had to have his leg amputated last March and was determined to continue caravaning our first trip was in the April when we arrived at the site l set up the van ready for him l pushed his wheel chair right up to the door he literally crawled in and used the side seats to get up onto the seats, to move up and down the caravan we bought a stool which had four wheels he sat on it and with his good leg and the sides he moved up and down, he now has a false leg and can manage most of the time up and down the steps although we are thinking of replacing the steps with a ones ghost have a railing attached to them, l hope this has helped and given you encouragement.

Thank you for your post but the Story Section isn't the best place to put it. I've moved it here where more people are likely to see it.

Good luck to you and your husband, a can do attitude will certainly help you both adapt to 'new ways of working'.
The phrase in quotes was oft quoted in my working days and I never thought I'd have the need to use in retired life 😂😂😂. Actually made me shudder as I recalled it! In the working context it was usually some hairbrained idea thought up by someone without knowledge and quietly dropped without reference, but for you it will be for a real purpose 😉.
Long may you continue with all your hobbies and maybe discover new ones.

A booklet might well be helpful to many, BUT, as Bakers2 has pointed out, the attempts by "Well Meaning" folks may well be harebrained. Now should dis-abled, differently abled, handicapped or whatever they are, or wish to be, called start the ball rolling from THEIR view point then it just might be worth following up.
