Self-disabled

The buzz on 'Dancing With The Stars' is all around Heather Mills and her ability to perform such stunning dance moves with an artifical limb. It's terrific really. I have a sister-in-law with two artificial legs due to an on-going bout with diabetes and she barely gets around. She just gave up mostly and it's sad because there's so much she could have still done but the longer she languishes in pity the worse her abilities to move become. She is disabled, but she did most of it herself by giving in instead of fighting to go on. Seeing people like Ms. Mills is a breath of fresh air and a renewal of hope that life doesn't have to stop because of a disability.
