I have many disabilities that are quite unique. I have two hands that have a mind of their own, which can make simple, everyday tasks quite challenging. Two tasks that come to mind are threading a needle in a sewing machine--something I do many times a day--and picking up a glass of water while trying not to spill it before I can take a sip. I am also deaf. It is actually great being deaf sometimes, particularly when I am sewing. I usually take my hearing aids out to eliminate any background noise and other distractions. I recently became a pledge walker. I completed two 10-kilometer walks last year, one in Edmonton and the other in Kelowna, B.C. Although I suffer from multiple joint pain in my hips, knees, and ankles, I still finished both races successfully.
