I've had journalists asking me, 'What do we call you - is it handicapped, are you disabled, physically challenged?' I said, 'Well hopefully you could just call me Aimee. But if you have to describe it, I'm a bilateral below-the-knee amputee.'
The other night I was playing twister with some amputees.
It's an objective fact that I am a double amputee, but it's very subjective opinion as to whether that makes me disabled.
