Disabled and able

An article came across my desk today from a faithful reader (OK, my husband). It's about people with disabilities who continue to work out despite their limitations. One guy featured is able to go to a gym, lift weights and, with the help of electrodes hooked up to his paralyzed legs, ride a bike. About 20 percent of the U.S. population are disabled. Granted, not everyone has such access--but it's worth exploring, given that, as this article states, the disabled are likely to be in worse health than the general population.
One of the most determined of these was my mother-in-law Sara, who died in 2005--but not before she proved her mettle. Despite having polio as a child, post-polio as an adult; cancer; mini-strokes in her later months; and other maladies related to all the above, she didn't complain. She lived, and into her 80s. She had limitations, naturally, but we all have those in some form; hers were just more obvious. Her humor shone through especially after her second mastectomy. Upon waking up from surgery, she said, "Well, they can't do that to me again."
Here's the complete story..
Let me know what you think. (Or as my friend Brad would say, "Holler.")
