    A Day for the equal terms in the Community

    Yesterday was taken place an excellently

    organized event, "The Rehabilitation Social Day"

    as l have read about it on the web, but it was actually

    a day for the equal terms for people with several

    difficulties and disabilities in the wider community.

    It was a great event, rich in programms,

    and free preventive examinations e.g.

    blood tests, body-weight controll,

    audiology, and many many other useful

    preventive medical help, there were stands for

    the latest modern mobility devices, what's more,

    even had a place for the ancient

    chineese medical practice which has been

    very popular among the other stands

    for the free tests. It revealed my sugar

    level is too high and l could

    get some pieces of advice about

    how l should eat properly and l even

     managed to get a very refreshing

    medical massage too at a stand for

    spine gymnastic. l heard a very interesting

    lecture about stress, related to e.g.

    MS illness, where the stress can be

    especially dangerous.

    While this was going on one side

    of the sports hall, there were

    brilliant performances on the other

    side, by several disabled and able-

    bodied single artists or artist groups.

    I especially enjoyed the fantastic

    appearance of the wheelchair dancer

    groups and the awesome production

    of the deaf players, not to speak of

    that the whole performance of them has

    been attended with an interpreter of sign

    language, that just lift the standard

    of the whole day  more higher.

    It was also a great power lifting

    presentation by some disabled sportsmen,

    one of them won the bronze medal in the latest

    paralympic games in power lifting.

    But some, who didn't have fancy watching

    the performances or testing their health

    condition, could play indoor ball games

    or board games, chess at the tables,

    or they just could talk with each other,

    so everyone has had a very exhausting

    but lovely and fantastic day.
