Would I want to not be disabled?

The paraphrased question my brother asked me today.

I said I don’t know. It’s a complicated question.

If I could I would, but only if I could start my life again and not be disabled. Does that makes sense?

When you’re asking me if I would change being disabled in the life I have now, that’s a complicated question because so much of my life now is tied to my disability. I don’t know I’d be without it.

But starting my life over is a different question I’ll admit.

As he was asking me this question my other brother had just had to ask me to move several times in order to clean the carpet of the room I had messed due to the weather outside.

The dogs were not allowed to come today. Due to the mess they would make. I was allowed though.

So attached to this sort of story I suppose, is the reminder that….
