[QUOTE="Steve@TF, post: 16507984, member: 40308"] I was thinking that this is probably what you meant but i think you didnt communicate it effectively. I understand what you meant. As MG said, some disabled kids are always sick. Vomit and runny noses are everyday life. Perhaps this is the norm for them. Or perhaps the kid not feeling good from the surgery. None of us know. Sounds like a fairly serious surgery and the kid should be at home resting but i dont know. Saying someone is retarded is the old school verbiage. I was telling my wife that my mom worked at an elementary school in the 80s that was called “West Valley Trainable Mentally Retarded” lol. In the 90s they changed the name to “West Valley Special Education Center”. She was flabbergasted at the name but that was tbe norm back then. Just like how they used to call autistic people idiots. They even had “schools for idiots”. The Rain Man types were “idiot savants”. Nowadays the proper way (PC) to say it would be to say they have mental retardation. The person has the disabilty, they are not the disability. ie the person has autism, they are not autistic (though people still commonly say it). Im not a PC gung ho person, just fyi. Of course calling someone a “retard” is a whole different ballgame. Id call a friend a retard but not an actual disabled person. Saying the person is retarded is not the same as saying “he’s a retard”. Its not PC but its not derogatory. Calling someone “a retard” is poor form and crass if referring to a disabled person.
