I was born with spina bifida a genetic disorder that has left me a parapalegic. I have never known anyone outside my family that has this condition and I've beleived I'm alone in the world when it comes to this condition.
But thanks to the web and You Tube I've learned I'm not alone in the world. I have found dozens of video blogs created by people with spina bifida. I've watched these videos and learned that I'm not the only going through the same struggles that this condition has caused.
These videos have given me much encouragement and comfort. So this is how You Tube connects to someone like me.
That's pretty cool. :) I don't quite understand what "parapalegic" means, but I'm sure it must be hard for you. I would say something strong and encouraging, but I honestly can't think of anything... :S ah well.
A parapalegic is someone who's confined to a wheelchair, hunny.
Very poignant article, Ricky. I am glad that you don't feel so alone any longer but you seem to be a courageous man nevertheless. Btw, as long as you're here on Fanpop you'll always have friends. You're a lovely person and all the best!
I'm glad you feel comforted through You Tube. It's not right for someone to feel lost or alone just because they are a little bit different from other people. Just remember that you can never truly be alone, no matter how you feel. You have your friends and family. Keep Fanpopping and You Tubing and all the best! =)
