I do not care for term "disabled". even though that is a classification status assigned to specific Americans with any number of medically qualifying illnesses.
To label such persons in this way gives rise to bias and discrimination, among others.
I prefer the term "handiabled" for persons with chronic medical issues.
Handiabled gives the immediate implication that there may be functional medical indicators but it, also, implies that the individual may be capable of productive activities.
How do you view your medical condition: handicapped or handiabled?

Handiabled though a turtle would beat me in a race! I do what I can by babysitting my grandson. It is not what I envisioned my mid 50's would be, but seldom we live what we think our lives will be like. Life tends to throw a wrench st us on occasion. We just have to duck and roll away.

I used to have pretty handwriting but it is almost illegible. Falling is routine.

It gave me the impression that someone spelt HANDICAPPED incorrectly whether that was your intention or not. I have a chronic medical issue and I don't feel I fit in either category.
