one step, or miss step, or car or bus accident, or cancer diagnosis, or bullet, or armed services wound away from becoming, suddenly part of that community. The one the media labels as if it's an exclusive club..."the Disabled"

People who are disabled, or have become disabled sometimes mention the rest of us as..."TABs, Temporarily Able Bodied"

I wish you luck. Please do keep hanging on...

and posting.
