My Disability

3 Replies

Since opening up about my disabilities just recently with the support of everyone on here and my family I've learned so much about my left side disabilities it just doesnt affect my balance it also affects how I walk..Right leg and foot normal and solid..My left leg is affected too I have a left foot that slaps the floor when I walk I've hidden it for 37 years but now feel strong enough not to hide it anymore. Thankyou all so much for your comments theyve done more for me than anyone ever as I will be forever grateful ❤❤👍👍👍👍

I’m very pleased to say I don’t have a brain injury but logged on to this site when researching AVM s. I was lucky, mine didn’t rupture, but I did have a frightening “episode” so I’m really an interloper here. Best wishes for your future.
