We all have our limits, we are who we are. Some are looking for other people who can do what they can do, and some of us cannot. I took care of disabled people for many years, and life has not been fair that I am now disabled myself.

But I am still fairly self sufficient. I walk, and I talk. I can understand if someone needs their love to be able to do what they are doing.....and I wish that I could as well! But I can advertise my mind, and my heart, if not my ability to run, or to work. All in all, I am still the same person as I was before, just trying to deal with what life has given me.

Aren't we all?

OK, Let me put this one out there. Let's say this person is disabled because of a brain tumor. The tumor was removed. But it left this person with some lingering problems. The person walks with a cane because the tumor and having it removed affected their balance. But not too badly. Also, because of damage to the muscles at the back of the neck from the operation, this person has headaches. Migraines to be exact. This person drives and does for themselves.

OK, Is this person undateable?

I would think it depends on the person their lifestyle bit then o have seen total opposites match and be happy
Common example where military members who by job requirememt are duty ready and very physically fit marry spouses with disabilities.

O don't see useing a cane for balance a big deal at all
I think the history of tumors and migraine might be pretty tough for many. Just because the threat of serious debilitation. And not knowing how often it would disrupt the person
Feeling helpless to comfort a loved one is painful personally Also.
