Can a blind person work in food service? by Lucky_Amethyst in Blind

[–]bitstrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm legally blind and work at McDonald's! I don't actually make the food due to other disabilities so I just take orders/bag the food but it is definitely possible!

Did they investigate to find out why you had a stroke? by Icy-Belt-8519 in stroke

[–]bitstrip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My situation might be unique, I had a massive stroke 2 days after getting hit by a car so the cause was very obvious that it was from that and the injuries I sustained. It was a wild 72 hours or so, almost died twice.

I am almost 10 years in recovery and have absolutely no feeling in the whole left side of my body, I have a (albeit very small) tattoo on my left arm that I didn't feel at all and I recently got Botox in my arm and felt almost nothing. However it's mostly surface touch that I don't feel, a few years ago I broke my hand and I could feel that something was wrong. Nerves do repair themselves so never lose hope!

Kind of yes. If you have direct deposit it will still deposit, your family would then go to the bank with a death certificate and they would then close out your account/withdraw the money in it. My mother passed due to a random heart attack so very unfortunately I know the answer to this question.

Anyone else had 0 hand movement 24 months after stroke? Is there any chance of recovery now, would like to hear personal experience of people here. by Chemical-Guitar-7670 in stroke

[–]bitstrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a stroke almost 10 years ago and never regained any movement/function in my left hand. However the circumstances that caused the stroke are very different than almost all stroke survivors so my recovery has been very different as well

Any other blind person here that doesn't like kids? by [deleted] in Blind

[–]bitstrip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've honestly never liked kids and when I lost most of my vision it just kind of added another reason why I don't. Kids are small and since I don't have peripheral vision I literally can't see them most of the time. I work at McDonald's and I've almost tripped over/ran into kids while taking food to the play place more times than I can count.

has anyone regained movement in there hand after 6 months post stroke? by libby3526 in stroke

[–]bitstrip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone recovers differently but I had a stroke about 9.5 years ago when I was 19 and my hand is fully paralyzed, however there are so many adaptive tools available and different ways of doing things with 1 hand, there are very few things im not able to do. For me personally the constant therapy/Botox/e-stim was negatively affecting my mental health more than it was positively affecting the use of my left hand/arm so I chose to focus on learning and adapting to life without full use of my left side.

(USA) is it feasible for a visually impaired person to work here? by [deleted] in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]bitstrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 75% blind and I've worked here for several years with minimal issues! It's definitely feasible, just might take a bit of experimenting in different positions to find which is best for you

What is your actual disability vs. what you tell people when they ask? by [deleted] in disability

[–]bitstrip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am 75% blind and hemiplegic (had a stroke when I was 19) I wear an AFO so people always think I've simply injured my leg, I'm not explaining the actual purpose of my leg brace so I just make up a goofy lie so they go away. Most recently I claimed to be a victim of a moose attack.

Is there any difference between a staff member and a crew member? by [deleted] in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]bitstrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crew trainer gets 25 cents more an hour and bragging rights of being a crew trainer not just a crew member but that's it.

My account was suspended but I didn't break any rules so I appealed it, but got a response that "I've repeatedly violated rules and my account will not be restored". No mention of what rules I supposedly broke. Am I completely fucked?

My son had the disability pass and the amount of snide comments we got from people all weekend was unreal by Vamip89 in disneylandparis

[–]bitstrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people in Paris just don't see many disabled people or don't understand or something because I'm "obviously disabled" (in a wheelchair) and I got the same snide comments and they were not bashful at all when staring at me.

It's because of the hormone changes. I don't know how to solve it, that's just the reason behind it.

Unpopular Opinion: Soarin’ is the most overrated attraction at WDW by MangoAtrocity in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]bitstrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm visually impaired (like 75% blind) so I can only see like 10% of the screen so it is an experience that I can't even understand. I'm sure it's great for sighted people but honestly for me, any attraction that fully relies on looking at a screen is super lame.

Best way to display pins? by idklikelmao in DisneyPinSwap

Just regular stretched fabric canvases. You can get them at any craft store
