Paralyzed since I was 18 years old, I have spent much of the last 30 years thinking about the reasons why the social life of crippled people is so different from those who ambulate on two feet. After reading about the so called Ashley Treatment I decided it was time to write a book about my life as a crippled man. My book, Bad Cripple: A Protest from an Invisible Man, will be published by Counter Punch. I hope my book will completed soon.

I will not be posting anything new for at least the next week. I am having surgery tomorrow. Rest assured I will have much to say about my experience. Apparently even prior to admission I am asking too many questions--you know little concerns such as what happens to my wheelchair while I am in surgery. I also asked if the hospital room had an accessible bathroom--the answer was "I think so". Not exactly comforting. But I suppose that is not what happens in hospitals. I am not sure if I am getting ready for surgery or battle. A bit of both perhaps.
Wishing you the best of outcomes, Bill. Barbara
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you - I'm preparing for the surgery battle, too, and I wish it was just about my health.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best and a quick recovery so you can get out of there, fast.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with both surgery and accessibility and that you're back feeling a lot better very soon! Good luck!
