Not everything is ruined. The front sides of my upper legs work, and that's what I walk and cycle with. This way, I stay on the pedals. And I can't get on and off my bike, so I have to watch carefully all the time. If I can't cross the road, I'll take a right turn or whatever.
People appreciate that.
The first five years were the hardest. You feel like you're a skater, and then you're handicapped. Now I'm not a skater anymore. C'est la vie. I'm Evelyn, and I play wheelchair basketball.
