I used to be good at walking with my Canadian crutches. In college I could walk a half mile in 15 minutes.
That was important. It meant I could make it between classes as a student with cerebral palsy on the University of Wisconsin - Madison campus In 1965.
But, 60 years later I seldom use my crutches. I prefer my walker because my gait has changed over the years.
In addition to my walker, I now also use a mobility scooter for long distance – an additional mode of mobility I would have used extensively 60 years ago (although there were no curb cuts back then).
* When has an acquired limitation helped you discover vulnerability’s potential for fostering your personal growth?
