Kunjani ukuhamba xa usebenzisa isitulo esinamavili

Umxholo

• Uhambo olunqabileyo
• Ukucwangcisa zonke iinkcukacha zokugqibela
• Injongo yokuhamba

UCory Lee wayenenqwelomoya ukuba ayokubamba ukusuka eAtlanta ukuya eRhawutini. Njengabahambi abaninzi, uchithe usuku ngaphambi kokuzilungiselela uhambo olukhulu- hayi ukupakisha nje iibhegi zakhe, kodwa nokuyeka ukutya namanzi. Yiyo kuphela indlela anokukwazi ngayo ukuyenza ngohambo lweeyure ezili-17.

"Andisebenzisi kwigumbi lokuhlambela kwinqwelomoya - yeyona ndawo indiza ukubhabha kum kunye nawo wonke umntu osebenzisa isitulo esinamavili," utshilo uLee, one-spinal muscular atrophy kunye neeblogi malunga namava akhe okuhamba emhlabeni kwisitulo esinamavili esinamandla eCurb Simahla noCory Lee.

“Ndingasebenzisa isitulo esisemgceni ukusuka kwisihlalo senqwelomoya siye kwigumbi lokuhlambela, kodwa bendizakufuna umntu endiza kumncedisa kwigumbi lokuhlambela ukuze andincede kwaye akunakwenzeka ukuba sobabini silingane kwigumbi lokuhlambela. Ukufika kwam eMzantsi Afrika, ndandisele ndikulungele ukusela igaloni yamanzi. ”

Ukufumanisa ukuba wenzeni xa indalo ibiza inqwelomoya (okanye ukuthintela loo fowuni iyonke) sisiqalo nje sokuba abahambi abakhubazekileyo kufuneka bacinge ngantoni.

Uninzi lwale planethi alwenzelwanga iimfuno zemizimba eyahlukeneyo okanye iintlobo zamandla engqondweni, kwaye ukuyijikeleza kungashiya abahambi kwiimeko eziyingozi nezithobayo.

Kodwa i-bug yokuhamba inokuluma malunga nabani na- kunye nabasebenzisi bee-jet-setting wheelchair bathatha ulwandle lwemiceli mngeni yokufezekisa umnqweno wabo wokubona umhlaba, beqhekeza iimayile ezihamba rhoqo kunye nezitampu zepaspoti apha endleleni.

Nantsi into ekuthiwa kukuhamba xa unesiphene.

Uhambo olunqabileyo

"Ayisiyo indawo ekuyiwa kuyo, luhambo," yeyona mantra iyintandokazi phakathi kwabahambi. Kodwa esi sicatshulwa sinokusebenza nakwezona ndawo zinzima zokuhamba ngokukhubazeka.

Ukubhabha, ngakumbi, kunokubangela uxinzelelo lweemvakalelo kunye nomzimba xa usebenzisa isitulo esinamavili.

"Ndizama ukufika ubuncinci kwiiyure ezintathu ngaphambi kwenqwelomoya," utsho uLee. “Kuthatha ixesha ukufumana ukhuseleko. Ndihlala ndifunwa ngasese kwaye bafuna ukujija isitulo sam esinamavili ukuze bafumane izinto. ”

Ukufika kwinqwelomoya akukho pikiniki, nokuba. Abahambi basebenza nabasebenzi kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ukutshintsha ukusuka kwisitulo sabo esinamavili baye kwisitulo sokudlulisa ngaphambi kokukhwela.

"Banamabhanti okugcina [okukugcina ukhuselekile kwisitulo esisemgceni]," utshilo uMarcela Maranon, owakhubazeka ukusuka esinqeni wehla waze wanqunyulwa umlenze wasekhohlo entla kwedolo emva kwengozi yemoto. Ngoku ukhuthaza uhambo olufikelelekayo kwi-Instagram yakhe @TheJourneyofaBraveWoman.

“Abasebenzi bazakunceda. Abanye baba bantu baqeqeshwe kakuhle, kodwa abanye basaqhubeka nokufunda kwaye abazi apho imitya iya khona. Kufuneka ube nomonde ngenene, ”uyongeza.

Abahambi ke kufuneka basuke esihlalweni sokudlulisa baye kwisihlalo sabo seenqwelomoya. Ukuba abanako ukuzenzela ngokwabo, kusenokufuneka bacele umntu ovela kubasebenzi beenqwelo-moya ukuba abancede bangene esihlalweni.

"Ndihlala ndiziva ndingabonwa okanye ndingaxabiswanga njengomthengi, kodwa xa ndindiza, ndihlala ndiziva ngathi ndingumthwalo, ndibotshelelwe ezintweni ndityhalelwa ecaleni," utshilo uBrook McCall, umphathi wezokuxhasa Umbutho we-United Spinal Association, owaba yi-quadriplegic emva kokuwa kwibhalkoni.

“Andazi ukuba ngubani oza kubakho ukunceda andiphakamise andise esihlalweni, kwaye ngokwesiqhelo abahlali kakuhle. Ndiziva ndingakhuselekanga ngalo lonke ixesha. ”

Ukongeza ekukhathazekeni ngokhuseleko lwabo emzimbeni, abahambi abakhubazekileyo bayoyika ukuba izitulo zabo ezinamavili kunye nezithuthuthu (ekufuneka zijongwe esangweni) ziya konakaliswa ziinqwelo moya.

Abahambi bahlala bethatha amanyathelo okhuseleko ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokonakala kwizitulo zabo, bezaphula zaziindawo ezincinci, ukubhobhoza iziqwenga ezibuthathaka, kunye nokufaka imiyalelo eneenkcukacha ukunceda abasebenzi ukuba bahambe kwaye bagcine izitulo zabo ezinamavili ngokukhuselekileyo.

Kodwa oko akusoloko kunele.

Kwingxelo yayo yokuqala ngqa yokuphathwa gwenxa kwezixhobo zokuhamba, iSebe lezoThutho laseMelika lifumanise ukuba izitulo ezinamavili ezingama-701 kunye nezithuthuthu zonakalisiwe okanye zalahleka ngo-2018 ukusukela nge-4 ukuya ku-31 kuDisemba-umndilili wama-25 ngosuku.

USylvia Longmire, umcebisi wezokhenketho ofikelelekayo ophila ne-multiple sclerosis (MS) kwaye ubhala malunga nokuhamba ngesitulo esinamavili eSpin the Globe, wabukela eyoyikeka kwinqwelomoya njengoko isithuthuthu sakhe sonakaliswa ngabasebenzi ababezama ukuyilayisha kwinqwelo-moya esuka eFrankfurt ukuya Sloveniya.

“Babeyityhala kunye neziqhoboshi kwaye ivili langaphambili laphuma erim ngaphambi kokuba balilayishe. Bendinexhala lonke ixesha. Yayiyeyona ndlela yokukhwela inqwelo moya, ”utshilo.

Umthetho wokuFikelela kwiNkampani yoMoya ufuna ukuba iinqwelomoya zihlawule iindleko zokutshintsha okanye ukulungisa isitulo esinamavili esilahlekileyo, esonakeleyo okanye esonakalisiweyo. Iinqwelo-moya nazo kulindeleke ukuba zibonelele ngezihlalo zababolekisi abahambi abanokuzisebenzisa okwangoku.

Kodwa kuba uninzi lwabasebenzisi bezitulo ezinamavili luxhomekeke kwizixhobo zesiko, ukuhamba kwabo kungathintelwa ngokuqatha ngelixa isitulo sabo esinamavili sisalungiswa-oko kusenokonakalisa iholide.

“Inqwelo moya yandiqhekeza ivili lingaphaya kokulungiswa kwaye kwafuneka ndilwe nabo kakhulu ukufumana imbuyekezo. Kwabathatha iiveki ezimbini ukuba bandifumanele isitulo sokuboleka imali, esasingangeni kwizitshixo zemoto yam kwaye kwafuneka sibotshelelwe endaweni yoko. Kuthathe [inyanga] yonke ukufumana ivili, ”utsho uMcCall.

“Ngethamsanqa kwenzeke xa ndisekhaya, hayi kwindawo ebendisiya kuyo. Kodwa kuninzi kakhulu indawo yokuphucula. Ukophula isitulo sam esinamavili kufana nokophula umlenze, ”utshilo.

Ukucwangcisa zonke iinkcukacha zokugqibela

Ukuhamba ngewim ngesiqhelo ayisiyiyo inketho kubantu abakhubazekileyo - zininzi kakhulu izinto eziqwalaselwayo. Abasebenzisi abaninzi bezitulo ezinamavili bathi bafuna iinyanga ezi-6 ukuya kwezi-12 ukucwangcisa uhambo.

Ukucwangcisa yinkqubo emangalisayo eneenkcukacha. Kuthatha iiyure kunye neeyure kunye neeyure, utshilo uLongmire, notyelele amazwe angama-44 okoko waqalisa ukusebenzisa isitulo esinamavili ngokusisigxina. "Into yokuqala endiyenzayo xa ndifuna ukuya kwenye indawo kukukhangela inkampani yokhenketho efikelelekayo esebenza apho, kodwa kunokuba nzima ukuyifumana."

Ukuba unokufumana inkampani yokuhamba efikelelekayo, uLongmire uya kudibana nabasebenzi ukwenza amalungiselelo endawo yokuhlala izihlalo ezinamavili, kunye nokuhamba kwindawo yokufikela kunye nemisebenzi.

"Ngelixa ndinokuzenzela amalungiselelo, ngamanye amaxesha kumnandi ukunika imali yam kwinkampani eza kujongana nayo yonke into, kwaye ndivele nje ndibenexesha elimnandi," ucacisile uLongmire.

Abahambi abakhubazekileyo abakhathalela ukucwangciswa kohambo ngokwabo, nangona kunjalo, banomsebenzi wabo owenzelwe bona. Enye yezona ndawo zixhalabisayo kukuhlala. Igama elithi "ukufikeleleka" linokuba neentsingiselo ezahlukeneyo ukusuka ehotele ukuya kwihotele kunye nelizwe ukuya kwilizwe.

“Ukuqala kwam ukuhamba, ndafowunela ihotele eJamani ndibuza ukuba bayakwazi na ukuhamba ngesitulo esinamavili. Bathe banelifti, kodwa kuphela kwento leyo - akukho magumbi afikelelekayo okanye izindlu zangasese, nangona iwebhusayithi ithi ihotele ifikeleleke ngokupheleleyo, utshilo uLee.

Abahambi banamanqanaba ahlukeneyo okuzimela kunye neemfuno ezithile ezivela kwigumbi lehotele, kwaye ngenxa yoko, ukubona nje igumbi elibhalwe "ukufikeleleka" kwiwebhusayithi yehotele akwanelanga ukuqinisekisa ukuba liya kuhlangabezana neemfuno zabo ngqo.

Abantu bahlala befuna ukufowunela ihotele ngaphambi kwexesha ukubuza iinkcukacha ezichanekileyo, ezinje ngobubanzi beminyango, ukuphakama kweebhedi, kunye nokuba kukho ishawa. Nangona kunjalo, basenokufuna ukulalanisa.

UMcCall usebenzisa ilifti yeHoyer xa ehamba-isilingi esikhulu esimnceda ukuba ahambe kwisitulo esinamavili aye ebhedini.

“Ityibilika phantsi kwebhedi, kodwa iibhedi ezininzi zehotele zinamaqonga aphantsi okwenza kube nzima nyhani. Umncedisi wam kunye nam senza le ndlela ingaqhelekanga [ukuyenza isebenze], kodwa yingxaki enkulu, ngakumbi ukuba ibhedi iphezulu kakhulu, utshilo.

Zonke ezi zinto ziphazamisayo - ukusuka kumagumbi alahlekileyo iishawari ukuya kwiibhedi eziphakamileyo kakhulu - zihlala zokoyiswa, kodwa zinokongeza kumava apholisayo, adinisayo. Abahambi abakhubazekileyo bathi kufanelekile ukuba kwenziwe umzamo owongezelelweyo wokutsala umnxeba ngaphambili ukunciphisa uxinzelelo xa bengenile.

Enye into abasebenzisi besihlalo sabakhubazekile abayithathela ingqalelo ngaphambi kokuthatha uhambo kukuhamba emhlabeni. Umbuzo othi "Ndizokuhamba njani ukusuka kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ukuya ehotele?" ihlala ifuna ukucwangciswa ngononophelo ngaphambi kokufika.

“Ukujikeleza isixeko kuhlala kuyingxaki kum. Ndizama ukwenza uphando oluninzi kangangoko ndinako kwaye ndijonge iinkampani zokuhamba ezifikelelekayo kuloo ndawo. Kodwa xa ufika apho kwaye uzama ukubiza iteksi efikelelekayo, uhlala uzibuze ukuba ingaba izakufumaneka nyani na xa uyifuna kwaye izakukhawuleza kangakanani kuwe, utshilo uLee.

Injongo yokuhamba

Ngemithintelo emininzi ekuthathweni kohambo, kuyindalo ukuzibuza: Kutheni uzihlupha ngokuhamba?

Ngokucacileyo, ukubona ezona ndawo zidumileyo zehlabathi (uninzi lwazo zifikeleleka ngokulula kubasebenzisi besitulo esinamavili) kuyabakhuthaza abantu abaninzi ukuba batsibe kwinqwelo-moya ende.

Kodwa kwaba bahambi, injongo yokuhamba emhlabeni jikelele iya ngaphaya kokubonela indawo - iyabavumela ukuba banxibelelane nabantu abavela kwezinye iinkcubeko ngendlela enzulu, ihlala ikhuthazwa sisihlalo esinamavili uqobo. Kwimeko apho: Iqela labafundi beekholeji laya eLongmire kutyelelo lwakutshanje eSuzhou, China, ukuya kuxoxa ngesihlalo sakhe ngomguquleli.

“Ndinesi situlo se-badass kwaye bacinga ukuba sihle. Enye intombazana indixelele ukuba ndiliqhawe lakhe. Sithathe umfanekiso omkhulu weqela kunye kwaye ngoku ndinabahlobo abatsha abahlanu abavela e-China kwi-WeChat, uguqulelo lwelizwe lwe-WhatsApp, utshilo.

“Lonke olu nxibelelwano luhle belimangalisa kwaye belingalindelekanga. Indijike yandenza into ebangela umdla nokunconywa, ngokuchaseneyo nabantu abajonga kum njengomntu okhubazekileyo ekufuneka egculelwe kwaye ehlazisiwe, ”wongeza uLongmire.

Kwaye ngaphezu kwayo nayiphi na into, ukuhamba ngempumelelo emhlabeni kwisitulo esinamavili kunika abanye abahambahambayo abakhubazekileyo umuzwa wokufezekisa nokuzimela abangenakufumana naphina kwenye indawo.

"Ukuhamba kundivumele ukuba ndifunde ngakumbi ngam," utshilo uMaranon. “Nokuba ndiphila nokhubazeko, ndingaya phaya ndiyokonwabela umhlaba kwaye ndizinyamekele. Indomelezile. ”
