The life of a disabled person / myLot

Serbia

February 14, 2020 3:01am CST

I lost my left foot 14 months ago,life has become a lot harder for me, but I struggle with it. I still haven't got the prosthesis because I need to have another surgery. The streets and buildings I go to are not adapted for disabled people at all, which makes it even more difficult for me to do something.

We have a law here for the benefit of the PWD - person with disability. Ramps are in the mall for those in a wheelchair. If you don't mind my asking, how did you lose your foot?

@st4nko oh, that is sad. It is good that it was cured already so there would be no more amputation.

I guess if the government doesnt support disabled persons, you will ahve to empower yourself. Hope you can direct your talents into something you enjoy doing and earn as well by working online.

@yoalldudes it's not very humane, they don't give much, but they still give something.I make more money by creating websites

Oh my, that is terrible. I hope your surgery is soon. I helped a man up the stairs last week who was missing a leg. He couldn't get up the stairs by himself, and was very frustrated.

That is really a struggle. You will have artificial legs or foot?

I'm sorry it has been a struggle for you to cope with your day to day activities. Don't you have some assistance from your Government that aides people with disabilities? Here if a place does not support people with disabilities you can always go to the court house or to your local home owner's association and file a complaint because you can live your life it's just that you are differently abled. Do you wear crutches? or wheel chair? Hope you feel better.

@st4nko I do hope you will get your artificial leg as soon as possible. They should at least prioritize people with disabilities though. Thanks for your response. Feel better.
