Here's my latest video. I could just sit back and allow my limitations to rule me OR I can fight back and squeeze whatever I can out of life.
I also spent Wednesday of this past week with several firefighters teaching fire prevention classes to elementary students. It was awesome fun to be with the kids and it allowed me to contribute something. Sometimes it is the feeling of not being as useful as I used to be (prior to my disability) that is so crushing. This was good therapy for my soul. Here's a picture of me with one class after the presentation. During the presentation in the smoke house most students didn't realize that I was missing my left leg. I was able to stand up, half hidden by the stove. It wasn't until afterwards when I got in my wheelchair that they found out. The kids were surprised and wanted to know about my missing leg. Interacting with the kids and their teachers was so much fun!
