I didn't get a firm "yes" from anyone when I asked if that was the context of Terry's question, but I'm assuming that's what he was pretty much asking. So, to answer this particular conundrum, of "why has God allowed me to be born this way, with my disability", we should first go to the words of Jesus Himself, in an account of a miracle of His that was written in the Gospel of John. Then, I'll expand on these words further so that we may come to a satisfactory explanation (at least, an answer general enough to be within our comprehension, since God, being divine, is essentially incomprehensible to us, as we aren't the ones who created the universe, so we aren't to know every little detail that will then boil down to one great, perfect answer. All of my words about God are only ever what is within our realm of understanding, so nothing I say about God is absolutely perfect and "satisfactory" to a level that only God could truly reach because of the constraint of man's imperfect mind in comparison to Him).
>As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, β€œRabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, β€œIt was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud and said to him, β€œGo, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing. - Gospel of John, Chapter 9, Verses 1-7
So, here we have a man, blind since he was born, healed by Christ, and in this passage Christ Himself defines a theodicy, an answer to your question about evil. "The works of God might be displayed in him", He says about the blind man. As such, relating to you, your condition is not a "curse" of God. He didn't reach His hands down to your legs and crush them Himself. It is Satan's work, of course, since God is only the source of good, rather than any evil, and so His permission of evil (as opposed to Satan's creation of it) is what ultimately contributes to His guiding plan for us that will culminate into the events described in the Book of Revelation.
Because of this, these bad things also come to us not from personal sin (like Jesus identifies in that section of the chapter, with "It was not that this man sinned"), but from the fallen, evil state of the world, caused by the ancestral sin of our first progenitors, Adam and Eve (this is not to be understood as an inheritance, as in "we are inherently sinful by birth because they first did", as that in and of itself would also defy what Jesus is saying with "or his parents", but this should instead be understood as "they sinned first, and so evil entered, and I sin as well by my own choice, and influenced by the world's evils"). Paul identifies this in his letter to the Romans (I'd recommend reading the entire chapter, too, in your spare time, as what he's saying at the end of this excerpt is also interesting, too).

>Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinnedβ€”for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. - Epistle to the Romans, Chapter 5, Verses 12-13
So, the world, being evil by the action of Satan and the will of God because it is culminating what is to be forever good also by God's will, carries with it disease and suffering in this life. It is not that you sinned or that God cursed you to be in this physical form, but that His will has decided, in part, among the other sufferings that you are to face in this life, that this is a part of the cross that you carry (see chapter fourteen of the Gospel of Luke), in similarity to what Christ suffered through in His death. To be weak is to be with Christ, for to be weak means that we have the ability to surround ourselves with brethren who feel an instinct of care towards us, just as we pray to God to feel His love, as the greatest commandment that Christ gave us is to love one another, after all.
From all of this, to finally form a summary, you are disabled because of a world wracked by the spiritual war between good and evil, caused by the evil of man and the rejection of God by our first ancestors, this world therefore carrying with it defects and terrible things that plague us, yet in this suffering, our faith for God grows from these things in our reliance on Him for comfort and mercy, sourced from communing with Him in prayer, and our love for one another, through caring for each other in the midst of one another's sufferings, which also grows in order to reflect those same energies of The Lord, which is what we've been commanded to do in following His will. That is why He permits it for now, but only for now, for this mortal plain is not all that there is to existence.
