No not cost, disability, what would be the worst scenario for you, obviously paralysis would probably top most peoples worst scenario but what about just losing your sight, hearing, an arm, a leg, which would be the worst for you ?
I watch the paralympians with awe but know that I could never be like them, I don't have the determination and willpower they obviously have to overcome their disabilities and perform better than most of us able bodied people can.
I think for me it would be my sight, not to be able to see anything again, flowers, telly, friends faces, breasts, pretty girls and all the other things we take for granted.
I think I could cope better losing my hearing because I tend to live in a world of my own anyway and though silence can be deafening at least you can see what is going on so if something has to go hearing wouldn't be as bad as my sight, losing a limb well I have seen what people who have lost limbs are capable of doing without even going to Olympic lengths.

Def. sight loss would be the worst for me also.

Although I dont underestimate the difficulty of coping with physical disability I think an injury resulting in mental impairment would be much harder for me to deal with
Something i always feared disabilty wise was being less mobile and being in constant pain, sadly for me i am now far less mobile than i was and also in constant pain with what seems to be no end to it all 
I make the best of life but its a constant struggle and i hate being a burden to my husband (who is truly wonderful).
Oh how i wish i could go back to being fit and healthy and pain free !

Nearly 20 years ago I lost 90% of my vision in my left eye due to colleagues larking around at work, throwing sticky labels screwed up into a tight ball (about the size of a squash ball and hard enough to bounce on a concrete floor).
I was quite surprised at how well I've adapted to basically only having vision in one eye, and to only be able to see general shapes and light in the other.
DVLA are happy for me to retain my driving licence, and it's not affected my insurance.
And the fact that I got a very nice compensation cheque from my employer's insurance, enough to be able to move from the centre of Leicester and put down a very large deposit on my house made me feel a lot better...
I'm not always 100% I'd prefer to have my eyesight back; it's something I've learnt to live with, but in a much nicer area...
Over the years I've injured my ankles and knees running, and sprained wrists at work, so I've hade to be able to hobble about on one foot, or do everything one handed for a couple of weeks and coped, but I'm not sure how I'd be able to cope should I ever lose the use of my right eye as well.

Loss of sight in both eyes would mean the end of me. Everything else I think I could cope with.

Perish the thought.......
Personally id rather not think about it and deal with it if and when it happens ;)
My stepdaughter was born with a *little arm* its stops just below her elbow, she has never had a prosthetic and its all she has ever known, she gets on just like any other person, just about to finish Uni and is set for a First Class - our mantra is to live life a day at a time, seize each moment as if it is your last, dont even give a thought to what may happen or waste valuable time thinking about "what if"

There is sense in living for today and not worrying about what may happen, I don't worry about what may happen but I do like to think about the difficulties others cope with and find it helps me help them or at the very least sympathise with what they have overcome or have to endure.
Probably not explaining myself or my thread very well, I never give a thought to losing my sight but not to think of those that have or those that have never been sighted would make me think of myself as somewhat uncaring.
