I just have to grip a little then hopefully I will feel better. I went this morning to take my son to a dentist for a cleaning. I am in a wheelchair. Well, I got there and not only was there no handicap parking but no ramp ! Oh I was so mad, I was thinking now how am I going to get in the building. Well , I ended up parking on the side where the employes are suppose to park and I had to park long ways so that my wheelchair left on my van could let down on the side walk. I guess all together I took up about 4 parking spots. Anyway , when we went in I told the lady at the desk how I parked because of no ramp. Well, while I was sitting there waiting on my son to get done with the dentist, I was getting more aggravated. Now this is a pretty new building and has only been there for about 2 years. So when it was time leave I knew there was no way I could see the dentist with him working on somebody so I asked for the office mangager. I explained to her how I had to park and told her that the ADA law says that all public places has to have a ramp and handicap parking and that some of the parking has to be for a van with a lift. She told me that the doctor was aware of this and is working on it. I told her that was good and thanks. But you would think that a new building and it being a dentist office just like any other doctor would have a ramp and parking already set up when they opened up for buisness. I just hope they do what they say and get it fixed. It was a tight spot to get my van into. I'm going to drive by there in about a month to see if they have even started on fixing this. I sure hope they have .
