When talking about the paralympics I really wish other disabled people would realize that there are some paralympians who DO have pain every day (coughparalympianswithrsdcough) and do fight the same battles that nonparalympians have. I’m not saying this to point out ‘anyone can do anything’ because that’s crap. But acting like no paralympian deals with pain, fatigue, illness, etc is negating their experience.
Now, I’m gonna wheel myself off from my soapbox, tie my painful, spasming legs to my chair, and go to Karate this evening.
