My arm isn’t"missing" and I didn’t"lose" it. It was strategically removed -- and I'm doing it again on Friday."I'm sitting at a restaurant booth resting my little arm on the edge, leaving ample arm space for the person sitting next to me," the author writes.“Best decision I ever made” was what I said when I ingeniously used a spatula to keep my shower curtain closed. I also say it every time I buy a slice of pizza.
Transitioning from an invisible to a visible disability eased much of the tension associated with sometimes needing assistance. I used to dread asking anyone, because although my left arm was severely impaired, the most mismatched thing about me was my socks. I looked relatively “normal.
The first time someone audibly noted my appearance was at Target shortly after surgery. A tween girl passed me and loud-whispered to her mom, “I feel bad for that girl ― she’s missing an arm.” I wanted her to understand that, in my specific case, it wasn’t something to regret, so I did a double take, went up to her, and calmly explained that it was nothing to feel bad about.
