People who are different are treated differently but that is not necessarily a bad thing depending on how you look at it – that’s what I learned today 🙂
It’s 8: 40 PM on day 444 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, go see a dentist – a few years ago I accidentally fell down the stairs at my aunt’s house and as I result of that my bottom-middle tooth turned black and I was hoping to get it fixed but all I got was a cleaning because I have an infection which has to clear before I can get a root canal which is necessary to remove the black spot on my tooth so it looks like I’ll be getting a root canal on January 11, 2012 (we can’t do before then because it takes five days for the infection to clear, we’re going to India on December 8 2011 and the dentist only returns from her holiday on January 10, 2012) whoopi something to look forward to in the new year – feed myself Batura and beef fry for breakfast, prepare and publish my Disability of the Day feature, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck today but Donna (@polipaca) made a $26.92 donation yesterday –thanks Donna 🙂 – feed myself barbecued mutton, salad and potato salad for lunch and watch TV.
This morning when I went to visit the dentist and a dentist – not the one who treated me (a guy old enough to be my grandfather) – said hi, I said hi then he walked over to me and gave me a kiss on the forehead which I would have been offended by in the past thinking I don’t see him kissing anyone else in the waiting room on the forehead (ok I did think that in the beginning) but today I realized how lucky I was to experience the best of humanity for the most part I’ll be it it’s because they think I’m fragile but still. Do you always take things the wrong way?
