Writing Exercise vol. 1

A handicap story

 

I didn't saw it coming. It just happened.

The car was driving right against me, I turned my head as a reflex, just to see, and seconds later I lay on the ground with my eyes closed. That's what I remember happened, when I got handicapped.

Now I'm stucked to this wheelchair for the rest of my life, just because of that stupid car. It's the reason, that I can't write or walk, and from I get up in the morning, until I go to bed in the evening, I always have to have a helper by my side. The helper makes food for me, run errands for me, goes shopping, cleans my apartment and also helps me to the toilet. I feel so useless!

In the first months after the accident, I were so angry and sad, and I couldn't get used to the fact, that my body didn't move, when I wanted it to. I just couldn't realize.

The doctors from the hospital wanted me to start rehabilitation. At first I were against it, but after sitting in a wheelchair for months, I really enjoy doing something different, then sitting all day.

Because of my handicap I get support from the municipality, but it annoys me, that I can't do anything by myself.

-Can you guess the name of his handicap? :-)
