I decided to become a pharmacist so that I can get off of social security disability. I hate having to be dependent on the government. Disability is not a way life for me. I know I can do better and I will! Four years to g and counting.

It gets frustrating sometimes pushing myself to continue. There are times my body aches all over and my legs don’t do what I want them to. I just close my eyes and take a deep breath, then move on. Things can always be worse I tell myself.

I’ve met and fallen in love with someone. I was beginning to think that I would never meet anyone since my auto accident left me disabled. I can walk and get around fairly well, but there are times I feel “broken”. And nobody wants to be with a “broken” person. It’s a wonderfull feeling to know that someone can see past the physical.

I was in a car accident on Janurary 18, 2003. The accident left me with two herniated discs in my lower back and an internal root meningocele about the size of a golf ball. I am in constant pain as a result of my back injuries and have to use a walking stick on occasion. I am still trying to get over feeling embarassed when I have to have assitance when I walk. It’s almost a daily struggle with me. But I’m getting better with it.
