Being suddenly injured in a way that completely robs you of mobility is overwhelming. It's not a fun situation to be in. If you haven't been there, you don't get how much it effects EVERY aspect of your life. Literally everything you do becomes exponentially harded overnight with no warning. You are not prepared for the new reality of being dependent on people and devices for even basic needs. THAT is what I was overwhelmed dealing with. Having to deal with being stranded would have just been fuel for the fire. Call me whatever you want, but unless and until you have been there, wondering if and how you are going to get around, you don't get it. I sincerely hope it never happens to you, but perhaps you shouldn't paint people in situations you have never had to deal with as overly dramatic. Comments like that are one reason people end up not speaking out about being overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, ect and end up in a bad way.
As a society we really need to stop criticizing people for not being as strong, or handling things as well as we think they should. Making sure I had a scooter ready to go was a HUGE deal for me. The LAST thing I wanted to do was draw more attention to my situation so someone who had no idea about what was going on could make a comment about lazy, fat, dramatic, ect people who should just get up and walk. I shouldn't have to worry about that, but clearly, that's what people think they are justified in doing so it is a concern. No one in that situation wants the embarrassment of being stranded in the lobby and staff scrambling to figure out how to get you to your room.
