How to enable the disabled

IT’S exactly six weeks since my surgery on my left knee. And today I am supposed to be able to take off my hinged brace and begin my recovery to walking normally again.

For 42 days, my mobility was curtailed and I experienced living as a mildly disabled person. This experience of having to use a wheelchair outside my home gave me an inkling of how difficult and limiting it is for people with disabilities to move around in public.
