I would like to say is that that airline SUCKS for treating you like that. A few years ago, I had the opposite on me. I am paralyzed on my left side due to a stroke and can't move around much, and that airline bent over backwards to help me. I wish my airline helped you out. Mine was Delta, the only problem I had was going from Dayton to Atlanta, but from Atlanta to my final destination (San Antonio) it was awesome.
Now, I'm married I have a wife that has Autism and if we fly we have to notify them in advance of her condition too, plus carry a card she has to have with her explaining that she can't have "a talk" like most people and that I have to be in the room at the same time, otherwise she might be considered a "security threat."
I WISH THE AIRLINES (and other transportation modes, such as buses and trains) would also adopt a better policy when it comes to someone who is disabled. I have problems with Greyhound because the aisles are narrow and not enough room for a wheel chair (if needed, I don't always need it, but I need it from time to time).
