. Mr. F.C. - Whv
kid our-UN
selves? He'll never be able to
leave his bed.
Mri. F. C. - Don't discour
age him. Nowadays handicap
ped people can do almost any
thing. e
Mr. F. C. - Eight weeks ago
our son, age 21, was in an
automobile accident. At first
his life was in the balance,
but now that he is out of dan
ger we have the sad verdict
of the doctors: his back is bro
ken and he will never walk
again.
I'm resigned to this situa
tion, I'm grateful enough to
have him alive and I believe
we can work out a way of
life tot Roy that will help
him get some joy out of life,
even though he must spend
it on his back. There are plen
ty of new gadgets.
But my wife wants to put
him through the agony of
mastering some complicated
machinery so he can move
around and even hold various
jobs. I doubt that it will make
any difference. I'd rather
bring him home now.
"Mrs. F.C.-What good is life
to an ambitious young man of
21, when all he can see in
the long road ahead is help
lessness? My husband is only
thinking of himself when he
says he's willing to wait on
Roy and keep him company.
He isn't taking into account
how Roy will feel as time
goes on and he's tied to his
bed.
While Roy is still under
treatment, I'd like to have
him try everything they have
on tap in the rehabilitation
center. Even if he can never
walk again, he may be helped
to move around the room
somehow, or even to get in
and out of bed. Once he knows
the absolute limits of his re
maining powers, we can make
better plans.
I wish my husband acted
more encouraging and hope
ful. Roy is still dazed and
crushed by this calamity and
needs every "lift" he can get.
Th Council - We won't re
peat here what every news
medium has been proclaiming
from the housetops down to
the small print in the newspa
pers: that the disabled and
handicapped are now viewed
in terms of what they can do,
rather than what they can't
do, and that thanks to or
ganizations which specialize
in putting them back on their
"feet" again (even on rolling
feet) much can be done to
compensate for lost abilities.
. Inspiring names spring to
mind - names of men who
have "gotten around" despite
paralysis, names of centers
which welcome, train and
find employment for those
who, facing the new agony
which is Roy's, decide to
sweat it out and fight it
through. At this crossroads.
Mr. C.'s abject acceptance of
total invalidism for Roy is
both premature and dispirit
ing. We agree with Roy's
mother that the hope of im
provement must be waved
above the young man's bed
like a banner by both parent.
Resignation is a healthy at
titude only when all alterna
tives have failed. Granted
that trying out complex
equipment and exercises will
be painful, not trying them
would be even more painful.
Giving up too soon might be
more comfortable physically,
but it would bring emotional
torture. There'd be the con
stant nagging questions:
"Could I have been rendered
less helpless? Was I really
beyond treatment?"
