As someone who hasn't always been disabled, I know the frustrating feeling of running late to an important meeting, only to find that there is no parking in sight aside from the big, beautiful, empty disabled parking spaces directly in front of the entrance of the building you're going to…

learned to take things in stride and laugh at myself pretty quickly after my amputation because the alternative was far less fun. Something else I learned is to expect lots of unexpected chaos and pack accordingly…

With the start of Summer fast approaching, temperatures in central Florida are already reaching the mid-nineties, paired with the level of humidity that slaps you across the face like a steamy middle finger. As an amputee, I am not exactly a summer girlie…

I think it's a fair assumption to say that most people hate the dentist, no matter how many legs they have. I've had my leg cut off, and I'm still scared of the dentist; there I said it.
