Ask a physically disabled guy
#18
RE: Ask a physically disabled guy
Well...I was born with my disability. I don't understand being able to play soccer for an NCAA scholarship to Louisville or UCLA or somewhere. If I had my disability solved suddenly, I'dlikely not know how tomove, and redisable myself. I will say that getting along with some able bodied folks can be a chore, but I'm sure they feelthe same way toward us. I can't observe me from afar. I can only be me.

By "appreciating life more", I'm guessing you mean "appreciating the little things" or "stopping to smell the roses". Yeah, I really don't care for when I'm at a bus stop waiting for a bus, and some random person gets all philosophical with my disability. Honestly, sometimes a guy on crutches waiting for a bus is just a guy waiting for a bus.

But again, I can't see me; I can only be me.
