Glenn Taylor filmed pushing 2,000-pound rock one month after filing lawsuit saying he was disabled
Glenn Taylor was filmed pushing over a ton of sandstone at Utah’s Goblin Valley State Park after he filed papers against Alan Macdonald, claiming he ‘endure(d) great pain and suffering, disability, impairment, loss of joy of life’ from a 2009 crash involving MacDonald’s daughter.
Since that 2009 crash the Boy Scout leader claims he’s “endure(d) great pain and suffering, disability, impairment, loss of joy of life,” according to his lawsuit filed against the father of the then teen driver responsible for that crash.
And that is what people, and even agencies, don’t get about being disabled.
I have degenerative disc disease. I can still do things. What people don’t see is that yes I can rinse and dry off that car but afterwards I have to lay down for a couple of hours.
I take pain pills but mostly have learned to live with the pain. I am just determined that I am NOT gonna just stop but I know for a fact that there is no way I can still work. Besides I doubt that I could find an employer who would allow me to call in on the days that I get up and can barely walk, which happens all the time. Some days are better than others.
Thanks for the note Sheena. I appreciate it.
Here this guy is, having hiked back into the site where the stone was, so he’s going to have a tougher time explaining himself.
My legs are my problem. I can’t do what I used to be able to, and yet I look pretty dog gone healthy.
In certain ways, I still am. In others, I was 75 at 40.
