Having a chronic illness and disability as lead me to read but others with different chronic illnesses and different disabilities as well as my own. Long time ago I read about a lady in the United Kingdom who sister drowned herself rather than live life in a wheelchair. She had to driver chair to a nearby river, climb over a fence and then drag yourself to the river. The story was published because the living sister wanted voluntary physician aided euthanasia laws created in the UK. And recently there was a story about a war injured man who lost his legs and wished he was dead.
I read these things and I think good golly they have the use of their arms and their complaining? They don't want to live in there so many things you can do as long as your arms and hands work? I wish they could meet me and realized that you just have to use what you have as best as you can because there is always somebody worse they can deal with it. I'm not sure how to get this message out but if your hands and arms work or if your one-hand and arm work there are so many things you can do that you should be thankful for. I am thankful I can still operate my PC and read e-books. I can watch videos on my PC and I have a loving family. My pets are also very entertaining so there is many enriching opportunities no matter how bad you are physically. I don't want to minimize these injuries and illnesses but it's best to try to rise above them!
