About my disability

I didn't think this would be an issue, so I thought it wouldn't crop up. But it has, so I figure I should fill you all in. If you're reading this, you're clearly at least curious, so here goes.

In 2006, I was involved in a head-on car crash. Moments before impact, my vision went completely grey, and I lost all feeling. I didn't feel the impact. I do, however, feel the after-effects.
