That 30% whose lives were forever be marred by negligence.
Teetering a line between disabled and able.
Day by day, hour by hour, it can change.
Stretching just a little too far to make up for the difference in length can lead to a red hot blade being forced into my shoulder, a pain of the nerves that doesn't stop.
All to make up for a few inches.
People you know for years, who forget you are deformed, ask for your help with things over your head so you stretch onto your tip toes amd arch your back to make it work. You can pass off as able bodied, but other days you can't.
I am in the 30%, of the 2-3 in a thousand.
The small percentage that doesn't heal over time,
The small group who needs at least one surgery to hopefully live a normal life.
The few babies who grow up with permanent damage from an injury sustained at birth.
There are times I wish my surgery didn't work. Times i wish my arm only hung limply at my side, and nothing more. So I wouldn't have to try so hard to seem normal. I wouldn't work myself into a fit of pain just to live.
Maybe then people would bute their tongues instead of saying,
"If you think you're hurting now, just wait until you're old and broken."
I used to be so mad at my mom for not pushing hard enough to get a cesarean. Maybe if she had tried harder, I would have been perfectly healthy. Instead, I'm a *mostly* one armed wonder.
I hold no hate in my heart for her.
She did the best with the information she had.
She raised me to be strong, resilient.
Whole.
What she wasn't aware of was the pain.
The doctors assured her repeatedly that I wasn't.
They didn't know, because they wouldn't ask. And when they did they didn't believe me.
I was 16 when the doctor said,
"If you believe in Jesus, when you die he'll fix you, in his perfect image."
At 24,
I believe in myself, for I am my own perfect image of imperfection. Some days are harder than others.
Some days I wish I had only 1 arm.
But, I truly believe that I was given those odds to remind myself to take things slow. To enjoy life in the moment, because one day, however far away it may be, I will lose what little I have. The pain will be a distant memory. The cruel insults from kids on the playground will be a memory of the best times I had with my disability.
We are given the shit end of the stick for a reason, at times. And everyday I strive to find my reason.
Maybe my reason is writing this. So someone in my situation can find the truth in the chaotic writings above, and find some part of themselves in my struggles.

I’m a bit late to the party, but I saw it was disabled swiftie night and I thought I’d share my story!
During birth I got stuck, which meant the doctor had to use force to get me out. This caused nerve damage in my left arm, known as Erbs Palsy. For the first few months of my life, my arm was completely paralysed. Thankfully though, I gained strength back in my arm which meant, for the most part, my arm functions reasonably normally. As a child, half the time I forgot I even had an arm which didn’t work the same and I’m beyond lucky that the damage isn’t more extensive. I still have days where I wish I had two functioning arms, it would be handy (get it?! handy?!) but it’s also apart of who I am and my story. Love yourself and who you are. The ups, the downs, and the inbetweens all make you, you. And you are pretty fucking amazing. @taylorswift @taylornation

Well if your reading this you either follow me or you looked this up on tumblr. Basically when I was born the doctor pulled my head when I was stuck in the birth canal. This gave me bracial Plexus injury. I've had it all my life and have learned to live with it.Sure I don't do things other people do the same but I can do most things. Just recently I learned how to put my hair in a ponytail. Naturally only my closest friends know about my injury and I like it that way. I don't want people to pity me. I'm 12 and it's hard don't get me wrong but I feel like it's a blessing disguised as a curse. It has taught me to be compassionate because I don't know what others are going throuh. It has taught me to be strong and push myself to the limit. Do any of you guys shoulder ever hurt when you walk around a lot? Or when your wearing a heavy backpack? Oh or when your texting and your shoulder starts to hurt because you laying down with your phone on your chest and both hands texting infront of your face? Do any of your parents say crap like "are you sure you can do that?" I understand their just worried about me but I can do it if I try my hardest and sety mind to it. Anyway rant over PM me if you ever want to talk��
So proud of you and everything that you are and everything that you will become. #erbspalsywarrior #brachialplexuspalsy #erbspalsy https://www.instagram.com/p/B5x3RFonC_R/?igshid=1x4pc9vsticd
Tomorrow I’m going to have an evaluation for this myomo brace for my Erbs Palsy (brachial plexus injury). I’m so excited and nervous. When it comes to my arm and shoulder I have never received good news besides “it hasn’t gotten worse” and this time it looks promising. I’m just not sure if I can get someone to watch my dad so I can go to the appointment (it is over an hour away both directions plus during rush hour). I seriously never qualify for any help with my shoulder and it really gets to me and I finally do! I need to stop getting excited though. I might not be approved.
