Disability Dialogue

Attitude is over half the battle in coping with a disability. I saw proof of that phrase yesterday. Yesterday I went to visit a friend who was in an accident and placed in a nursing home for rehabilitation. The place is a nursing home run by the county. The rooms have 4 people in them and it is noisy all of the time. A lady wheels in looking like model. Her nails were perfectly manicured and dress was pretty and bright.
She had the nicest demeanor and smiled a lot. She spoke highly of her children and her many grandchildren whom she rarely sees. I asked her how long she'd been there. She said over a year. She's become my inspiration and I look forward to seeing her again.
