We here at the Felician Sister Motherhouse in Livonia Michigan experienced a
very personal diversity moment. Recently our Director/Executive Chef received
3rd degree burns on his legs and was reduced to only standing/walking for 4
hours per day. As a result the Sister's allowed him to borrow one of the
motorized scooters to travel up and down the halls. It was a very brief look
into the lives of most of the Sisters. Not only seeing things from the level
that they view most activities but also learning to operate the chair properly.
"I can understand better a lot of their frustration, losing your mobility (even
temporarily) is very difficult. Having to rely on others help for your daily
activities takes a lot of patience, mostly with yourself" It was a very
humbling learning experience.
