Abstract

Ever since the crash took my left leg below the knee, walking with a prosthetic had been a clumsy, humiliating battle. But Kelly and Felix never once slowed their pace for me.

"Theo, we’ve talked about this," Kelly would say, her tone clipped with that brisk, faux-therapeutic cheerfulness. "Treating you like an able-bodied man is the only way to help you heal."

"If we baby you," Felix would chime in, "you’ll just stay fragile."

On the morning we were supposed to get our marriage license at City Hall, my socket slipped on a slick patch of sidewalk, and I crashed hard onto the concrete.
