Angie Bebee Wright
Ontario
I was born Dec. 21, 1964 and diagnosed with SMA type II at the age of
18 months via a muscle biopsy. I am the second daughter of three. I am
the only child born with a physical disorder. I never truly walked and
became dependant on a wheelchair at the age of four. By 5 years old, I
was put on a forced air breather machine to boost my lung capacity. At
the age of 10, I underwent back surgery for a Harrington rod to
straighten out my spinal curvature. From then on I have relied on an
electric wheelchair for all my mobility needs. I do not require any
daily medications and I have been somewhat stable in my abilities since
the age of 35. I have completed my Grade 12 education and achieved a
college diploma as a Computer Programmer/Analyst. I got married
June 17, 1989. No children, by choice, not design. I am self employed
along with my husband since 1991 as a Computer Network and Cabling
installer. I am currently living in Bradford, Ontario, Canada. |
