That's really very wonderful. How did she do that? I wondered. Really, don't be disappointed if something is missing from your life. Be happy with what you have. Very nice.

One of my classmates made mechanic arrangements in a car that can be driven and fully controlled by hands. It is designed for those who are not able to use their legs (people who use a wheelchair). I read this in the newspaper.
But the shock was another one. He developed this mechanism after he got paralyzed below his hips in a severe accident. When he got conscious 14 days after the accident, he knew his legs are there only to be carried them not to carry him anymore!
Instead of lamenting on what happened, being an automobile diploma holder, he brought all the required books to the hospital bed and completed his theories and drawings on how to make a 100% hand-controlled car. It took 4 months to discharge him from the hospital. After 9 months from that accident, he was on the road again with his invention.
(I read all this in an online newspaper. I haven't seen him for the last 9-10 years! All those Keralites know whom I am talking about. We were in the same boarding school from 7 to 10 Standard.)
As Mr. PC Chandra Sekhar said, "Handicap is our mind, Not Our Body." The handicapped body can be overcome easily, but not the mind!
Thank you for finding and posting it.
