Would a partially paralyzed person have control of his or her bowels?

Question by Solomon Kovač: Would a partially paralyzed person have control of his or her bowels?
There is this attractive young woman at my job who can only use her left arm and can barely use her right arm. I know she is single and I've been wanting to ask her out. Being the shallow jerk that I am, I was wondering is she has any control of herself in this way. She is not very strong and I don't know if she can move into and out of her electric wheelchair by herself. Do you think she has to wear some kind of adult diaper or catheter?

Answer by Peter H
It depends on the extent of the paralysis. If the paralysis of the legs is complete then it is likely that there is no control of bowel or bladder either. On the other hand, I am visiting a lady who still has some movement in the legs and still has control.
As for your young lady, if you enjoy each other's company, why not ask her out anyway?

Special Olympics is for people with intellectual disabilities.

The Paralympic games are for people with physical disabilities.

I don't understand how you can have an undiagnosed disability. Maybe the cause is undiagnosed, but you either have a disability or you don't. No one says "I *might* not be able to walk, but I'm not sure."

Where can a paralyzed person go on vacation that is wheelchair accessable? What about going to Egypt?

Question by sweetheart: Where can a paralyzed person go on vacation that is wheelchair accessable? What about going to Egypt?
My good friend wants to travel to Egypt and see the paramids... I would like to take him there but I don't know how accessible that would be for an electric wheelchair?

I would also like to know if there are other nice places to take someone on vacation who uses a wheel chair? Money is not really a problem. Can someone give us some ideas? My friend has only been paralyzed for a 2 yrs and this would be a first vacation we would take together...

Thank you!
