This MS is no longer a piece of cake. No longer permits me to waddle through getting a bachelor’s degree. No longer accepts Canadian crutches as a necessary means to attaning a Master’s Degree in English. No longer lets me spin around on a miniscule scooter, flinging doors open and giving pennies to poor souls who desperately try to open an opened door. Does not allow me to rule my little life from a more restrictive four wheel scooter. Does not permit independent transfers. Has long since taken way a 50-wpm typing speed. Absolutely forbids more than a scratched “mark”. Keeps me most of the time in this bed. I don’t like this MS. © Marsha Delaney Metcalfe, 2001 |
