@msmcpamiwack17 People can be mean. But at least it gets better as you get older.

Were you also born with dislocated hips? (I was). And do you also have Polio? I do.

[LilMissSpecialKay]

@Fibbing01 No my hips are not dislocated. And I do/did not have polio.

Thanks Ashley!

Yeah, i had a friend in hs who called me Waddles. He was the only person allowed to call me that. Yes people stare at me WAY less when I am in my chair versus me walking. I always just stare back until they look away. LOL.

I was in hospital here in England for over 6 years as a kid (from 1959 to 1965). Are American kids with Spina Bifida ever in for that length of time?
