Aphrodite possessed a magic girdle which had the power of inspiring love and desire for those who wore it; hence it was borrowed by Hera when she wished to stimulate the love of Zeus. (Hom. Il. xiv. 214, &c.)
While attending medical school  in the 1970's, Charles Krauthammer was paralyzed when he hit his  head at the bottom of a pool when divi â¦ ng off of the diving board.  He has been confined to a wheelchair since then. He has limited  movement in his arms and hands, but no movement in his legs.
He became totally blind by the age of seven.[7] Charles never knew exactly why he lost his sight,[1] though there are sources which suggest his blindness was due to glaucoma, and some other sources suggest that Ray began to lose his sight from an infection caused by soapy water to his eyes which was left untreated.
