My name is Darrylin, people call me “Dee” for short, and even though you might not be able to tell just by looking at me, I have a disability.
I have diabetes, which has resulted in neuropathy: a dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, giving me pain in my feet and making it difficult to walk quickly or stand for long periods of time. To top it off, I have severe arthritis, and I also struggle with reading and counting.
But this is not meant to be a sob story.
