Today as I was watching a video explaining how to make it easier for wheelchair users to do transfers from their wheelchairs to different places, i.e, bathtub, I realized again how blessed I am to have the mobility that I have. Many people with Spina Bifida are completely paralyzed from the waist down, some even from the chest down.
I have some feeling and quite a bit of movement in my legs, and I can bare weight in order to do my transfers. I may fall more often than I used to, but all in all, I'm really independent.
There are many people in this world who are much worse off than I am with their health, and if it isn't health, there are other ways people are worse off than me.
So, I guess the moral of this story is, be thankful for what you have.
Have you ever had a moment where you realized, "Hey, my life isn't as bad as I often think it is."?
