Ask a physically disabled guy

How do  you feel about the term 'differently abled'?

Boru

I'm like c172's friend in that I think the term is bullshit.  I don't have different abilities.  I'm not Daredevil or Professor Xavier.  And, really, the term seems to be for people who are uncomfortable around people like me to create a fantasy in their heads to make themselves feel better.

Plan B seems to be to get PCAs here once mom can no longer do the job.  Once she passes, I'll likely live with my oldest brother and his wife, with PCA care.  Either that, or my cousin in Cleveland, although that's a much longer shot given the distance and the fact that she's slowly killing herself with her weight.  There's also the possibility that I get my own place at an assisted living facility, but the local one is kinda creepy, so, yeah....

There are options, but nothing set in stone.  The best would be my oldest brother.  Worst would be a nursing home or my other brother.
