Wow someone likes this site

Thank you Johnny Canuck. You left me a message telling me this site rocks. I don't know why you think that, but it gave me a lift. Yes, if enough people tell the truth maybe it will help. But, really my writing stinks here I think! It really is just stream of consciousness whining. Thank you for your compliment though. Yes, I want to tell the truth to people, that is why I started this--I want people to know the daily struggles of life with a disability. But if feels so self indulgent. If you met me you would see that I am in fact quite functional, I just walk funny. Compared to others I have it easy. Actually, some days I think about how people don't see my struggle because it doesn't look too bad.
It is often alot more obvious with people with severe disabilities, but that also comes with its' own price. I wouldn't want to trade, trust me. I will deteriorate soon enough with age, and end up permanently in a chair, probably. God, every day practically I want a drink, but I don't drink. It's hard. Reality is tough stuff. I accept myself more though. If I didn't I wouldn't even be able to apply for disability benefits.
I would just push on through and continue to get injuired.
Thank God, AA is keeping me from drinking.
