It’s 2004, and I’m locked in my room. I’m trying to stifle the sound of me crying. Everyone is at home. They’re all back. I dragged myself back up the staircase as soon as I heard the garage door move. I miss the space. I miss the extra room for my anger and sadness. This […]| Crutches and Spice

This is […]| Crutches and Spice
People are always under the assumption that my parents somehow babied me or made my life as easy as possible because I was their disabled child—nothing could be further from the truth. Unless I was recovering from surgery or some particularly bad fall or incident, I was expected to take out the trash, wash the […]| Crutches and Spice
I am constantly stepping on people’s feet. Even after 15 years, I sometimes put one of my crutches down and think to myself, “the ground is awfully squishy today.” I don’t mean to, but think about all of the things I have to think about when I’m in public: I have to watch what’s coming, what’s […]| Crutches and Spice
