Over at Electric Literature, Martha Stallman depicts her life with multiple sclerosis in a funny and frank essay:
Scooting is much, much easier than walking, and faster. By pushing from behind with my left hand and pulling from the front with my left foot, I can get myself around the table in less than a minute. What scooting lacks in dignity it more than makes up for in efficiency, and it occurs to me besides that dignity is a luxury that I cannot at the moment afford, and also at least my ass is cleaning the floor.
