Recently, I was sitting at a large handicap table at
McDonalds waiting for my food when someone touched my shoulder from behind saying,
“Excuse me...” I turned around thinking
to myself that another disabled person wanted to battle me for this table.
Instead I was greeted by an elderly lady asking me about my
arm. She was very sweet and concerned
about me. Her equally friendly and curious husband
joined us and while explaining myself, she began touching and stroking my
broken arm. You get a lot of attention
and stares when you wear a sling and cast in public. Some strangers will ask you how you broke it
and some apparently will be bolder.
They were very sweet, however my first thought afterwards
was, “So, that’s how people get their wallets stolen.”
