I was exceedingly impressed with how the author viewed paraplegics as simply just another type of person. Her point of view puts the abebodied person at ease as it doesnt put so much weight on her condition. Not only does it put the next person at ease but it also does wonders for her state of mind as well because it shows that she is not letting it affect her in a negative way. A person who is highly conscious of their disability as a paraplegic will tend to be bitter or will tend to pitty themselvses, thus encouraging others to do the same. The author realised this as well when she was finally aware that her partner had left hr not because of  her condition but because she was basicaly mad at the world and she had become unpleasant company. This point of view also makes one realise that we are all paralised in one from or another. Being short, big breasted,fiesty or sultry-amongst other things- can be viewed as a deformity as well since it stops a person from doing something or being a certain way. I find the auhters outlook on being paraplegic very liberating.
