I'm not gonna develop secondary issues like vision loss, like losing a limb, which are all things that can happen with diabetes that goes untreated.

I'm not suggesting we don't treat disease.

Cancer, we should continue to seek treatment for terminal illness, right?

Disability and chronic illness are not the same.

Chronic illness can be disabling, but not all disabilities are chronic illness.

I could fall if I was sighted.

People have accidents every day.

That's why they're called accidents.

Right, but there's a lot of things that I put in place to reduce that risk, right?

Those are the accommodations.

I use a cane or a guide dog.

They help me navigate safely.

My guide dog gets me around obstacles, stops at stairs so I don't fall down them,

he does what he needs to do to keep me safe.

That's my accommodation.

Correct.

Doesn't mean it's foolproof, but I can say when I walked off the stage, that's because I wasn't using my cane or my guide dog.

That was my poor choice as a blind person.

If I had been using the tools that I'm supposed to, that wouldn't have happened.

And so it's all about making sure that you're using the different resources to help reduce those risks.
