12 h. ago For too long, my wheelchair reminded me of what I’d lost. Then I saw it as liberating

When my rheumatoid arthritis became more aggressive, I clung to the idea of still being a ‘walking person’. Letting go of that gave me more freedom than I could have imaginedIt started like any normal day – or normal for us, at least.

His passport and certification documents are being held by a local agent for the Dubai-based company. With no means of getting home, n...
