Excellent article by Kara Balcerzak linked below.
I am disabled not from a concussion although
through the myriad of falls due to my disability I wonder sometimes if
concussion has any relevance for me. I had a profound concussion when I
was 10 when my crutch slipped through a basement railing at nearly the
top of the stairs. I landed on my back but my head bounced forward and
then back onto the hard floor knocking me out. Since from polio my
right leg is entirely paralyzed I have fallen and fractured numbers of
times. So I have zero trouble telling someone I am out of work earlier
than normal because polio did not present the vaccine to me until six
months after I contracted the dreaded disease.
I paid in triplicate for
my disability working through the difficulties of my paralysis when
finally it became impossible. So I do something else to which I can commit my life. I try to be the most humane person I
can be working for candidates who are worthy to hold office and working
against those like Trump who have taken the nation on a ride that should
make everyone feel concussed. Moreover, I am a supreme advocate for
vaccines as I have endured for a lifetime the results of not being able to get
one. I advocate for universal healthcare, civil rights for minorities and other so called liberal
causes. I am in the humane party otherwise known as the Democratic
Party and am damn proud that I am!
