Chele,
You could always join the airlines Facebook page and I know as a Paramedic, if i saw a pax stating that he/she would be flying with someone disabled who would be on my same flight, I would offer to assist you during your travel. I am sure if a nurse, emt, Dr etc. were to read the same, they would as well. As you know, Continental is now UAL and I'm on their FB page. I travel international quite a bit and would be more than happy to assist if our paths ever cross.
