The author's experience of becoming a first-time homeowner is abruptly altered when she suffers a serious injury, leading to a painful realization of her home's inaccessibility. After falling down the front steps and requiring surgery for her injuries, she grapples with numerous challenges related to mobility. Her newly purchased home, despite its earlier appeal, proves to be inadequately designed for someone with limited mobility, from narrow hallways to inaccessible bathrooms, highlighting a broader issue of accessibility in living spaces.
The walker my family picked up for me had uncomfortable grips that made navigating the narrow hallways a constant struggle, adding a layer of frustration to my recovery.
Realizing my new home wasn’t designed for someone with limited mobility was a painful awakening; it made me rethink not only my space but my definition of 'home'.
