First of all, I should explain a little of what has happened to me to cause me to be disabled. In 2009, I dislocated my knee, which severed my ligaments, tendons, as well as my peroneal nerve. My leg is consequentially partially paralyzed, which I learned is called Zenker’s Palsy.
Today, my church had its food pantry for people in need, and I got to be the intake specialist, which I really enjoyed, because I’m odd and enjoy alphabetising names. However, my leg is now really very swollen and painful. I wish it wouldn’t get like this.
