A/N: That's what he thought... : )
What I Can't Do
He's always been eager to learn new skills, but this is something he doesn't want to learn. Yet he must. (I don't want to.)
He learns to get dressed by himself. He learns to use his new car with a lift for his wheelchair. He learns to use bathroom without help.
And he hates it.
He hates the fact that he'll always be helpless, unable to be whole again. Only half a human. The other half of him is lost irrevocably, that's what the doctors tell him.
"You're lucky to be alive", they say. Like that would make him feel better.
He's strapped to this chair forever.
