"DISABLED NOT COMPENSATED":THIS IS AN ABSURD OUTCOME FOR MYSELF.


THE INVISIBLE NATURE OF VIRTUAL PARALYSIS DISABILITY:


I AM DISABLED AND DUE TO THE NATURE OF PARALYSIS NO ONE IS AWARE OF THIS.


WHEN I AM AFFECTED THE ONLY TIME I FEEL LIKE I AM NOT UNDER TERRIBLE STRAIN TO SIT OR STAND IS WHEN I LAY THERE MOTIONLESS. THIS IS THE SAME PARALYSIS AS I ENDURED, AT ITS WORST FROM 1970 TO 1974, WHEN I HAD TO RECLINE OR LAY DOWN ALL OF THE TIME. I COULD HARDLY EVEN SIT OR STAND AT ALL. I PLAYED HARMONICA  FLAT ON MY BACK. 


Consistent with complete disclosure, include this.

                                   PARALYSIS IS MORE THAN JUST IMMOBILITY.


THERE ARE OTHER LIMITING FACTORS. 


ONE IS THE REQUIREMENT TO NOT MOVE A MUSCLE TO REMAIN COMFORTABLE. 

ANY MOVEMEMNT COULD DISRUPT THIS AND SOMETIMES SPASM WOULD OCCUR.


THE OTHER MAIN LIMITING FACTOR IS THE REQUIREMENT TO BE IN CERTAIN POSITIONS.

1. THE LAYING ON MY LEFT SIDE WITH MY LEGS CAREFULLY BENT IS THE MOSTY COMMON.

2. RECLINING AT 135* WITH MY LEGS ELEVATED IS THE SECOND MOST COMMONLY USED POSITION.

(I SPENT MOST OF MY TIME LIKE THIS 1970 TO 1974.)

3. PRESSED DOWN FLAT FACE DOWN. RARELY.

4.FLAT ON MY BACK. VERY RARELY. 

5. SITTING UP WITH MY BACK SUPPORTED CAN BE A POSITION I HAVE TO ASSUME OCCASIONALLY.
