Yeah this blows my mind when working with other tech people. None of y'all ever broke a hand? Smashed a fingernail in a door or burned your thumb cooking? Noticed how hard it us to use the computer or shit even open a rounded doorknob sometimes?

Being fully able-bodied is barely even the baseline state, even for "able bodied" people. Temporary changes to that state have been common in my life and the lives of the people I am closest too, and it's always obvious how poorly the world is suited to those deviations. And also clear how small and cheap many of the changes would be to improve it.

If all goes well, you will be disabled for the final years of your life, we all will, and more than a small handful of years too. It is life why don't we plan for it, build our world for it?
