We are all, at any given moment, about 5 seconds away from permanent disability.
I was driving my car to work. I am a good driver. I have no at-fault accidents in my history. I was hit by a drowsy driver that was later charged with DWI and I still ended up with permanent disability from this.
I stood up from a chair. I was sitting at a table in my work’s break room eating my lunch and stood to throw away my trash and clock in and my knee buckled underneath me and I spent three months completely non-weight-bearing on that leg and even still today there are things I can’t do anymore due to this.
It doesn’t matter if you eat right, sleep right, drive right, work right, only have sex with the right people, only purchase the right things.
Anything can happen to you. You are always 5 seconds away from becoming disabled for the rest of your life.
I have always been disabled. I haven’t always been this disabled.
