摘要

Over the 3 weeks of my rehab (which I must do for another 3 to 5 weeks), I have gained a sincere appreciation for people with disabilities, and the challenges they face. Although our University's facilities are designed (or renovated) to incorporate automatic door openers, handrails, etc., many private businesses, such as restaurants, are not. To get a wheelchair into many locations is a nightmare. I am confident that, over the next few months, if I follow the instructions of my physical therapist, I will heal and be able to do most of the things I could do before my injury. That being said, those with permanent disabilities will continue to face the challenges of access, and will need our sincere compassion and support to facilitate their ability to live "normal" lives. It has been a tremendous learning experience, and one I will not soon forget. I feel blessed to have had the support of a terrific wife, and great friends and colleagues, as I continue to make the transition from injury to good health. As the title of this editorial says, getting old is not for sissies-it is a difficult, challenging process, and one that we will all face eventually. So, be compassionate for those of us "older" individuals, and certainly for those who have disabilities. Until you have walked a mile in our shoes (with crutches and a leg brace), you may not have much of a clue as to what challenges we face.
