I am about to say something that may make you all think I have lost my mind. I have had conversations with friends and family about my disability, and they (myself included) have said maybe one day there will be a cure that gives me back my legs. Honestly, even if there was some miracle cure, some miracle procedure, I dont think I would want it. This disability has changed me into the person I am today. There has been much more good come from it that outweighs any of the bad. It has changed me physically, which is obvious, but more importantly, it has changed me on the inside and mentally. I am afraid that if I were to be given back my legs, all of the progress I have made would just disappear and I would return to the person I was. I know it may sound crazy to some of you, but I honestly do not want to be fixed. I am fine the way I am. Thats not saying I would be disappointed if I woke up one day and my legs worked, but if I were to be given the choice, I would stay just as I am. Sure I get frustrated sometimes, but that is when I find the true strength I have inside and out. I would not trade that for anything.
