    When I was a freshman in high school I used a cane, crutches, and a Walker. At that age I was ashamed that I needed to use those things. The next year of high school i had to start using a wheelchair. Mylegs weren’t strong enough to walk even on mobility aids. I’m 28 now and I’m still learning how to do life with FA but I know I’m not in this fight alone.
