In this You Tube Elaine Lindsay shares her inspiring story at the W3 Ottawa 2013 event. She says 'I have a titanium humerus in my right arm; a spiffy titanium and metal half-joint in my left leg, a re-built rotator cuff on the left, a variety of screws and a 4 inch nail. You’d think that would give me super-strength or the ability to open jars. When ICU and motorized beds became more familiar than my sofa I had a choice: bemoan the loss of a large portion of my left leg, be crushed and broken like my legs and innards after the car accidents and botched surgery or face life head-on and on purpose. I chose joy. |
