My Mom will be going with us on a trip in May and this will be her first trip since 1989...she is so excited! The problem is that she has some nerve problems in her legs that cause her severe pain when she stands for long periods or walks long distances. We have decided to rent a wheelchair for her so that she can fully enjoy her long-awaited trip. She is so worried that she will get mean looks/ comments when she gets up from the chair to go on a ride, get on the bus, etc. because she has read some posts on this and other sites about the frustration people feel when they think someone isn't really "handicapped". Do you all think it's ok to rent a chair at the parks and park it like we would a stroller before going on a ride so she can fully enjoy the queues without being concerned about getting looks and comments? She is very worried about holding up lines, etc. as far as the buses and rides are concerned.
