Great thread ASM/Sly. My father is handicapped (although not in a wheelchair). He has had polio since he was 6 and can walk but only with braces on his legs. He continues to do things like golf. While I don't talk to him due to other issues anymore, he was always one to make fun of himself as well. I remember us out golfing with a group of 14 or so other guys and we asked him his score on the last hole and he fell down the hill and was like "4.....4" as he was falling. So we called him 44 for a long time and he always laughed. I learned at a young age the handicapped are no different than anyone else, but I did always get pissed when I saw some 16 year old come runing out of a store into a car in a handicapped spot. Always a pet peeve of mine.
Anyhow on to my question.
Do you ever feel like you are a burden? I guess I would think that if this was me, I would feel like I wouldn't want to put my family / friends through taking care of me and helping me do certain things. Your thoughts and again great info.
