I don't like putting labels on people for any reason - from religious outlook to political views. But just recently a friend recently asked me how I would describe myself. So I have a dilemna.
In Hebrew, it's OK as I only know one word, and I usually only use it if I want help. In English, though, I don't like any of the words you could use:
Disabled. It could be either mentally or physically. not me
Handicapped. Same as above.
Wheelchair bound. Not strictly true, as I can walk with a walker (as long as someone is near me to catch me if I fall!)
Sick. Could be anything from terminally ill to sick in the head. Too broad a description.
Physically Challenged. Very politically correct and in my case also technically correct. But it doesn't really feel like me.
Actually I just would like to describe myself as "NORMAL", because that is how I see myself. Does anyone else have some other ideas? Just don't say crazy!
