I'm Not Running Around As A Continual

I Have Learned Not To Overlook The Advantages Of Being Me. From When I Was A Softball Player, And I Held The Stolen Bases Record. I Would Slide Into Second With My Prostheses, And The Girl On The Base Could Either Step Aside Or Meet Two Wooden Sticks.

There’s An Important Difference And Distinction Between The Objective Medical Fact Of My Being An Amputee And The Subjective Societal Opinion Of Whether Or Not I’m Disabled.
