8 years ago today I had the failed transplant in my knee that would forever change my life. I'm the only person in the world, who has experienced 3 transplants in the same knee. I used to be bitter about becoming disabled but not anymore. There for plenty of perks....
- We get to park closer
- We get in free to the movies (here in Gainesville)
- We get a certain level of freedom others do not get to experience
This weekend I experienced a new perk of being disabled. A charity was hosting a used clothing fundraiser over the weekend and disabled people received 5 complete outfits for free with a voucher. I was lucky enough to receive a voucher and got to pick out 5 shirts, 5 pants, 5 jackets and 5 shoes. I'm keeping 3 jackets and 2 shirts, giving my Mom 2 pairs of pants and 1 shirt and the rest will go on eBay. I made a donation to the charity because getting so much for free and intending to sell half of it felt wrong. Here is some of what I received for free and am selling:
Lite speed cycling jersey. People LOVE cycling jerseys.

Patagonia women's pants
