I AM NOT that Denver person, bodybuilder, parent or singer!!!
Some of them who use mobility devices make them match any cosplay they are doing. it's awesome.

If a disabled person can and wants to attend a con I'm not going to judge it one way or the other. Disabled people are allowed to do fun things. 5/5

I would likely need to pick *one* panel or meet and greet and nope out of everything else and that would not justify the cost of even a day ticket. Also with #CVID the crowds would make it unsafe.

However I have disabled friends who regularly attend cons and love it. 4/

If they are in a major city going to the con might not require any air travel or hotel.

Now logistically? Depends on the person, just as it does with non disabled people, yes?

For me I think it would be too many crowds, too much activity and too long a day. 3/

SSDI, VA service connection, private disability, etc. might pay more. The person could be going for just one day. They could have received the ticket as a present. They could've saved for it all year. It could be a treat. You don't know. 2/

If only Biden had approved reinforcements for Mr. David Crockett. Those boys at the Alamo would still be alive.

When doctors finally listened and did the relevant bloodwork, echos, etc. for all 3 issues, they were identified very quickly. However for 2 of them, not being diagnosed in a timely fashion left me with permanent damage.

Please. Listen. To. Your. Patients. #MedSky #disability #chronicIllness

3. Me, having infections from the age of six months onward with no end including scarlet fever, pneumonia and typhoid: .....

Doctors: Eh. Have more antibiotics. It's fine.

(I have common variable immunodeficiency, a genetic condition. Dx in my 30s!) #MedSky #Disability #ChronicIllness 3/

2. ER doctor, assessing symptoms consistent with appendicitis: "Psssh. You're probably just ovulating."

( did, in fact, need my appendix removed that evening) 2/
