I Have Never Felt More Seen Than This Pallet Jack Makes Me Feel. This Is What It Feels Like For Me To

I have never felt more seen than this pallet jack makes me feel. This is what it feels like for me to be disabled. This applies to me in many ways but perhaps most literally I am physically very strong but my joints are shit so combine those two things and I come out as a pallet jack

*gripping my sink* using a mobility aid will not hurt others it can only help you are deserving of any aid that helps you live your life better

So, kinda adding on to my post from this morning my pain is worse than it normally is but not extraordinarily so and it’s taken till the end of today to really start to get bad so I’d say my universal trip was a success and the accommodations and crutches really helped to lower my pain yesterday and today

This shit this shit right here is so true. I know I’m still young and what not but it’s taken me YEARS of dealing with chronic pain and fatigue and what not to be able to admit even to myself that I need help and that I can’t do everything that truly able bodied people can do because I am not able bodied

The truth is most people think being disabled is a death sentence but instead of advocating for disabled people they r convinced that they’ll never become disabled as if being disabled is some biblical punishment. Guess what? Accidents happen. You will get old and your body will stop working like it used to. Imagine if we live in a world where disability is seen as normal. Where we actually take care of each other.

Okay, so I love sitting cross legged and it’s the most comfortable position for my body to be in except for the fact that it always makes my left leg fall asleep to the point that it’s extremely painful so I have to keep my leg out straight but that’s not comfortable and hurts other parts of me.

Does this happen to anyone else?
