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.
