99% of a persons disability, in in Thier minds. I know many, disabled people, that beat the odds. That did the impossible, after being told they couldn't. The only thing I've ever seen, that has held a disabled person back, is thier attitude. I could be classified as disabled, but chose not to be. I'm still young (28) and have too many things I want to do in my life yet. That is NOT to take away from anyone who is. I did get a crossbow permit, for here in PA, so I could use a crossbow in 2000, and it has made for some of the best memories I have of hunting yet. Including taking my first buck last year with it, a 170 pound 7 point. Double lunged Him.
I have had people make me feel like less of a person, partly because I am on pain meds, to control my disabilities, and partly because I'm a Female Hunter. I've got scoliosis (curvature of the spine), Fibromyalgia, and Periphrial Neorpathy (know I didn't spell that right, sorry) I just started back to school mid June, am studying to work on computers. What keeps me from feeling sorry for myself in the least bit. Is all the people I know, that are in alot worse shape then I am. If they can smile, and enjoy life, who am I to do otherwise.

Life is like a Box of Chocolates..... You always get stuck with those Yucky cream filled ones
