🏃♂️💔 Buckle up, folks! We've got a tale of friendship, running, and a whole lot of drama. Meet our trio: me (the amputee), Lucy (the well-meaning but misguided friend), and Joe (the understanding running buddy). When a life-changing surgery put an end to my running days, things got complicated. Lucy just couldn't wrap her head around why I wasn't joining her and Joe on their jogs. 🤔 Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of emotions, accusations, and a friendship put to the test! 😬🍿

🏃♂️🚫 Amputee's Running Woes: Friend Accuses Another of Ableism! 😲
Well, well, well... looks like we've got ourselves a real pickle here! 🥒 Our amputee friend just wanted to live his best life, prosthetic leg and all, but Lucy had to go and stir the pot. 🥄 Joe was just being a good buddy, respecting his friend's wishes not to run, but Lucy saw it as discrimination. 😠 Talk about jumping to conclusions! 🤸♀️ Our guy tried to set the record straight, but Lucy just wouldn't let it go. 🙉 Things got heated, words were exchanged, and now everyone's in a tizzy. 😤 The internet has some thoughts on this one, and they're not holding back! 🗣️ Let's see what pearls of wisdom they have to offer our troubled trio. 💭
