5) so PLEASE people who design or advise re #disabledaccess toilets STOP PUTTING PEDAL BINS IN THEM
Because a large percentage of people with a #disability who need to use #disabled toilets CANNOT USE THEIR FEET

4) Surprisingly I’ve found some hospital toilets have this flaw too.
The ONE #disabledaccess loo I applaud👏🏻 is at @JerseyWarTunnel
Their bins had alternative access at the top
& the drying facilities were next to the sink
(PS fab Museum too by the way)

3) I end up putting towels either on top of bin or throwing them on the floor
Plus the towel dispenser or hand dryer is often too far away from sink so
I’m left leaning against it with wet hands unable to dry them
Then I can’t use my crutches safely!

2) I’m non weight bearing using either traditional crutches
or @iwalkfree knee crutches to get around.
So how am I supposed to open the pedal bin when I’ve only got one leg?
More importantly how do people #disabled with a spinal cord injury open the bin with ANY foot?

A🧵about Pedal Bins in #disability toilets:
1) Having used said toilets over past 4 weeks I’ve found a major flaw in ALL bar one
Pedal bins
With no other way to open them except with a foot
How crazy is that:

I took this photo from our back door last night & a knowledgeable friend told me what I was looking at:
Mars, Castor & Pollux:
Below them - Orion & lots of bright stars inc the distinctive belt running left-right & the sword below it running roughly up-down

Note the fact that they’re not wearing gloves. (Circa 1970s prior to Universal Precautions when gloves weren’t worn for anything except in theatres)
For dressings, we were simply taught good hand washing techniques & we used forceps for a non-touch technique

I asked this Question to our private “40th nurses reunion” FB group:
“Does anyone know when nurses were finally allowed to get married but still work as a nurse?”
See one of the replies 🤭
