Joint Instability - Tumblr Posts

A paraphrased conversation between my mom and I

Me: “I couldn’t go to class today because my disability is causing my joints to be too unstable for what we are doing today plus my pots is really flairing”

My mom: “ you know I don’t see you as disabled, you should really stop thinking about disability and start thinking of ability or different ability”

Okay so I’m heading back to school after spring break and my trip was AMAZING like seriously I loved it but wow I’m in so much pain now from everything we did. I had rest time and most days were laid back but damn even still. I made the mistake of bringing neither my crutches nor my braces with me because I thought they’d be a nuisance rather than helpful but I have definitely come to realize that any potential level of nuisance-ery is far less than the helpfullness of them. I hopefully won’t make that mistake again.

On another note screw the stairs you have to take up to a plane sometimes. Those are so wobbly and steep and long. And oh my my knees wanted to CRY.
