Two years ago, my partner was in an accident that could have (a)killed him (b)leave him partially disabled or (c)just fine. I'm glad to say that it wasn't (a), but it was (b) so now we are both PWD. I'm just so happy that he wasn't injured more because if something happened to him, I don't know who would provide care for me and our daughter. I can't even drive. With all of my muscle spasms and the amount of meds I take, I don't dare get behind the wheel of a car. So how would I even get groceries or my meds from the pharmacy? I also live in fear of having to be put in a home. They'd literally have to put the restraints on me because I will not go quietly into incarceration. Thank you for speaking out about how our brothers and sisters are being warehoused just so that society doesn't just go on with their "out of sight, out of mind" system!
