The Handicapped Motif of 3/13/04

I dreamed about E injuring himself and having to stay with me while he mended. He had broken his back or leg and was in a wheelchair and then on crutches, and I was taking him around the city and found us continuously stymied by things that normally present no obstacle to people with two functional legs.

It affected my whole the next day because as I walked around town, I noticed additional obstacles. At one restaurant, the path to the door was bordered by parking stops and the only way to get out of the path and into the parking lot was through the single gap in the parking stops, but that took me well out of the way I wanted to cut across the parking lot. I did it just to see what it felt like, in memory of the dream.
