  ๐ŸŒ…After Illness-Related Disability, I Ran to Find a Job, Not a Husband In less than a year, I went from the left to the right — a bright student to a disabled young woman. Needless to say, it was devastating. But I realized some things in the years of my journey with a new identity, in a limiting, painful body. ๐Ÿ’” The Man Who Pursued Me… Left As I fought for my life in the hospital after diagnosis, the man who wanted to marry me — he brought a proposal through his family — absconded.
