Thanks to everyone who has written to me about my stories. Keep it up! I write in what I call a narrative style, not a lot of quotation marks etc to slow things down. I hope you enjoy, will add more to this later.

Jenifer (or "J" as she liked to be called) pushed her custom Quickie Q7 wheelchair into her kitchen for a lunch break. Her morning patient was gone and her new patient would be here in a couple of hours. J is a physical therapist and specializes in amputees.
She wheeled up to the refrigerator and opened the door for the tuna salad she had made that morning. She slid the locks up on the hip joint portion of her HKAFOs (hip, knee, ankle, foot orthosis) so she could lean forward into the fridge to get the container. She kept her left hand on her braced upper left leg so she would not fall forward on her face. After getting the container and setting it on the counter, she slid the locks back down putting her upper torso at a 90 degree angle to her legs and secure in her chair.
J had polio when she was 8 years old and it left her with paralyzed legs and hips. She had no movement at all and her legs and pelvis were very atrophied. Unlike a spinal injury, she had full feeling in those areas and full bladder and bowel control. She wore long leg locking knee braces with spring loaded ankle joints. There were straps above and below her knees, a strap at the top of her leg and knee pads with straps. Her right leg was about an inch shorter than the left and sometimes she wore a built up shoe.
She had not learned to walk when she was young and growing up because of the complete paralysis. During her training as a physical therapist, one of her class mates asked if she would be her "patient". She was fitted with braces that allowed her to learn to stand and take a few swing through steps. She found that she loved the feel of the braces on her legs and with the hip belt around her lower torso she could sit in her chair much easier and work with patients.
J is 25, 5'6" tall, 118 lbs, a pixie haircut that was very easy to take care of, 32D breasts and dark completed because she tanned so easily. She lives in a totally accessible house with a pool and areas to work with patients both inside and outside. Her parents had been killed in an accident and she had received a very large settlement after their deaths. She did not need to work but enjoyed working with amputees and did not charge them very much. She also was a devotee and probable wannabe. She only worked 3 days a week seeing only 2 patients each day.
J cleaned up after lunch and decided she would rest a while before her next patient. She went to the bathroom, cathed herself and transferred to the bed to stretch out and get out of her chair for a while. She had a trapeze on her bed to help get in and out of the chair and move herself around in bed. After she got comfortable she thought about Sue.
Her morning patient, Sue was a right hip disarticulation from cancer. She had been married but her husband left her after seeing what the surgery had done to her looks. A local Doctor friend had recommended her when J was just getting her practice started. J took Sue as a friend and no money changed hands because Sue did not have much. At first Sue was very depressed about what had happened to her but gradually J had been able to show her she still had a full life before her. J got her interested in a prosthetic leg, instead of just learning to use crutches, and helped her learn how to use it. They became good friends and when they went out together J showed her men were still attracted to her, with or without the leg.
J got to thinking about one hot afternoon, and after a session of talking sex and both of them being crippled. J suggested they get in the pool to cool off. Sue did not have a swim suit and J said she swam naked when no one was around. Sue said it was not like J had not seen her without much on as when they were first getting the bucket for her hip to fit properly, she had very little and at times nothing but a t-shirt on anyway. Sue grinned, stripped naked and asked J how she could help her get the same way.
J transferred to an exercise/therapy table, undid her skirt and showed Sue how to undo the velcroed straps on her braces. Sue had been very interested in J's polio and effect on her. She had always asked lots of questions while they were together. They both had mentioned that they thought each other was very sexy with their braces and prosthetics showing. Both had their pubic areas shaved completely, Sue because of the bucket her hip fit in and the shape of it in her pubic area and that it pulled her hair. J because she catherized herself during the times she had her HKAFOs on. It was much easier than getting on and off the john and no hair was more sanitary during the cath procedure.
J lifted herself up and Sue, while leaning her pelvis against the left side of the table to balance herself, lifted J's legs out of the braces and removed them from the table. J lay back down. Without the plastic foot supports, J's toes fell forward to the table. Sue put her hands on J's left leg and moved them up and down the leg, lifted the leg and moved it around. Sue remarked how the leg felt as if it was lifeless with no resistance to it. It was the first time Sue had touched J's legs. The knee rolled outward and pulled J's vaginal lips apart and Sue could see how wet she was. Sue asked J whey that was and J said because one, Sue was "playing" with her useless legs and two, J could see Sue's hip "stump" while she was standing there. She always got wet when she looked at Sue. Sue took J's hand and placed it where the leg was supposed to be. J could feel how wet Sue was and they looked into each other's eyes and nodded their approval to continue.
