badgerbagI'm thinking some modified version of the design on this tshirt:
On my arm. need someone to draw it super graffiti street art style in bright colors.
I'd like some other junk intertwined with flames - I was thinking some of my sister's leaves
I was thinking of the years of transition from chair to cane to walking/passing and being able. That was a lot of years of transition. And I had zero organized support for all that time. I was working at universities. Why didn't I go to the U. of Chicago disabled students group, or office, or whatever they had, because they likely had one! (though i was an employee not a student.) And again at UC Irvine? It would have been so helpful. But it never occurred to me to do, despite how great the DeAnza one was for me in 1994 or so. I felt I didn't have a claim somehow, because I was getting better and also because I had no diagnosis, and that the most important thing especially for having a job was to hide any struggle I was having.
I figure I will be passing again at some point even if it takes me another year or so. But, when I am, I'll have this giant flaming wheelchair tattooed on me for disability pride.
