I walk with a cane.

Sure. That's what I have been doing for a while now.

People stare. They usually don't move aside to give my gimpy ass some room.

I am beginning to wonder how this would affect me if my cane-walking condition were an everyday thing. I imagine what it would be like to be a disabled citizen in our country.

There is a certain uncomfortableness that I detect when I enter a room. It can be a bummer.

So, for those able-bodies people out there, please be kind to people on crutches, walking with a cane, wheelchairs of all flavors -- all of them.

All of us.
