how can we reconcile the idea of acquired injury without tying it to loss? "Disability becomes a tragedy only when she and her husband, Bill, who also uses a wheelchair, cannot get into a restauran pr are kicked out of a movie theatre" (14). The problem isn't the impairment, the problem is the social, material, and economic treatment of the person with impairment.
we tend to frame acquired disabilities in more sentimental terms and a sense of loss/lack (see Davis with "narrativizing" and disability (Enforcing pg 3).
