While I love wintery things, I can say my physical disability impacts all of them. Some impacts are positive, some create challenges, some cause anxiety, and some have been so upsetting that I wished I could have avoided the season altogether. Remember, I’m not an expert, and I’m only speaking about my own experiences, but to help explain, here are some examples.
To retell my story is to relive it… the scary moments, the sadness and anger, the embarrassment, and the less-than-human “customer service” provided verbally and non-verbally. Oh yeah, and the physical pain, there’s that too.
I remember the first time I went to Vegas. I remember the drive into Vegas, coming up the I-15 North over that hill and seeing the lights of the Strip; it was magical. My three favorite guys and I were on an adventure to escape our busy lives back home. And for me, there was a little wishing that just for this brief time, I could also forget my physical disability.
