Happy weekend everyone and as usual, I am here with the #TheWeekend Challenge and here is the link to participate if you are yet to.
There are five options and I am going for option two.
Topic two:
Without arms or legs You have a medical condition and must permanently lose use of either both arms or both legs, but can choose. Which would you choose and why? Explain how the loss would impact you and what you would do to ensure you lived your best version of life after the loss. (I don't mean they are gone completely, just that you have lost the ability to use them, so prosthetic limbs are not an option.)
When I saw this option, I already know what I would be going for, even though it´s very hard to lose both but on another hand, it would be the best decision because I have thought over it again and again before settling for it. Thank God it is for this challenge and wouldn´t be happening in real life 😆
I am someone that has been glued to my room and hardly would you see me standing up. When I was in school, I would always go to school early to take the front seat as I love sitting down. I can´t stand for a long period of time because I will develop pain on my legs. So, I love sitting and lying down to do many things except for washing clothes which I prefer standing up to make it faster.
I am always an indoor person and an extreme introvert that wouldn´t go out on a normal day except there is something I need to do, and if there is no deadline approaching to get the thing, I will stay inside, sitting all day without feeling tired and if I do, I would switch position by lying down.
It got to a point, my hostel mates would drag me out of the room to come outside. Before you know it, I am already inside sitting down again.
So, I wouldn´t be sad if I had to choose losing my legs since sitting is my comfortable position. I can sit for hours with my phone or system and working.
HOW WILL THE LOSS IMPACT ME?
My legs cannot type on my phone, neither can it use my laptop. My legs cannot make my food or lay my bed. With all these, my hands are useful and it would impact me because I can use my hands in typing and making money as always.
My hands/arms can do many things that my legs cannot and so, I would feel the impact it would bring to me.
I love writing especially when I need to write an idea down and I wouldn´t want to miss such when my arms are gone. Even if I need to gesticulate and make signs with my arms, it would be easier because my legs cannot do such.
The only ways I can miss my legs are when I have to move around or go anywhere. Again, there are times your legs would pick up something which your arms wouldn´t be able to at that moment when you feel like not getting up at all. Also, losing my legs would affect my washing as I believe sitting to wash your clothes can go longer than standing up to do it.
In other aspects, I wouldn´t hesitate losing my legs because I know with my hands, I can change my life. At least we have those who have lost both legs and are doing excellently well in what they do.
To crown it all, The hand/arm can travel many miles than the legs would.
Thanks for reading
