"Standing On My Soap Box (Don't Define Me By My Disability)"
4 Comments - Show Original Blog

I know what you mean. People get annoyed at me because I'm not exactly the fastest thing on this planet (especially if my back or hips or knees are acting up!), and when I drop my crutches by accident (in the library, no less; seems it's always at the library when this happens!! LOL), some people give me dirty looks. I just grin at 'em as I pick up my crutches and go about my merry way. :) Doctors don't know everything, like they think they do; no wonder they call it "medical practice": they haven't perfected it yet!! Idiots!! Keep on shouting, I hear ya, Baby Girl!! And I DO know what you mean; believe me!!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Honey, if you need to vent, get up on that soapbox and let the world know that you ain't gonna stand for mistreatment! Doctors don't know everything, but they sure think they do. That diploma does NOT give them the right to think they're God!! Well said. Keep shoutin', keep writing/RIGHTING. I'm in your corner!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Michelle, it's ok to admit that you are in pain...we have to let go sometimes...can't always be that one to lift and lead everyone else...It's taken me a lifetime to understand that I can cry for myself, and I can admit that I hurt emotionally and physically...and how blessed you are to have found this out at such a young age! What a lovely way to release your pain...thru being there for the little children who love you! hugs, lindalaw
