i'm so excited to get decorations for my future rollator! i already have a specific look in mind, and i ordered a few things.

it will have a cup holder! and a cane holder!

so, question to all rollators users: how else can i make it more convenient? like, modifications for additional functions. thank you!!!

i've said it already probably but ppl who don't use mobility aids. especially doctors. stop trying to get rid of other ppls mobility aid. stop making that a priority. stop it with the "we gotta get you off that [mobility aid]" "you shouldn't need to be using a [mobility aid]" "let's focus on getting you to where you don't need [mobility aid]" "a [mobility aid]? but have you tried [herb]/[medicine]/ [exercise]/[facebook hack]/[pseudoscience]/[meditation] instead?" "but you look old/cringe/weak/sick". shut up

i don't know why so many of y'all think my end goal is to stop using the thing that helps me. and i KNOW most of y'all wear glasses or contacts but you're not running around trying to find the solution to make you stop needing them. so quit doing it with every other aid just because it reminds you of old or sick people.

especially bc most of y'all don't want to have that reaction when it comes to chronic pain, fatigue or discomfort. i say "my joints hurt" you say "oh well :/". i say "i feel lightheaded all the time" you say "just push through it". i say "my stomach is at least a 7/10 on the pain scale every day" you say "are you sure it's actually that bad? maybe you're exaggerating".

but as soon as i pull out a cane, or a shower chair, or a spinny chair for when im cooking in the kitchen, and i say "finally, im getting really good help!" . that's when you care. and all you want to do is take that away as soon as possible.

you just don't want to fucking see disabled ppl be disabled.

you don't want to have to look at it. you don't want to have to listen to it. you don't want to have to be reminded of it.

but too fucking bad !! i don't care !! im naming and decorating my canes !! they will be the loudest part of my outfits !! the same will go for a rollator if i'll still need one in the future !! i'm going to talk about how i'm disabled regardless of if anyone else can hear me !! because i am !! why should i hide just because YOU don't like it !! close your eyes !!!!!!

#do not come up in here talking about 'oh so you think everyone should just stay sick' #bc i know what i said and it wasn't that #and let's not forget how Chronic Illnesses work #disabilities #disability #disabled #mobility aid #cane user #rollator #actually disabled #handmadeorganicpost #chronic illness #chronic pain #chronically ill

braces do damage to your body

canes do damage to your body

crutches do damage to your body

rollators do damage to your body

wheelchairs do damage to your body

before you choose to use a mobility aid you need to weigh the pros and cons of using one. there are drawbacks to every single mobility aid. there is no such thing as a harmless mobility aid. mobility aids are not the right choice for everyone and it's important that people emphasize that when suggesting that people try them. mobility aids can permanently damage your joints and it's important that people emphasize that when suggesting them.

mobility aids need to be an informed decision.

so many people have permanent damage to their bodies that they regret because people online told them to try a mobility aid and that there were no downsides. there are downsides.

a mobility aid is only the right choice when the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. it takes information for someone to know whether they would benefit enough from a mobility aid to make it worth it. when you tell someone that there are no problems with mobility aids, that doctors are all lying about the damage they do, you deny people information. doctors can be wrong and can deny people mobility aids incorrectly but there's truth in the fact that they damage joints, change gaits, and cause muscle atrophy among other problems.

and on that note doctor/PT/OT guidance is important when it's available. using mobility aids that have been sized incorrectly, even for a short time, can cause enough damage that mobility aids are no longer an option for that person. using mobility aids incorrectly, even for a short time, can cause enough damage that mobility aids are no longer an option for that person. failing to tell people that they need to learn how to use and size their mobility aid correctly (preferably with a doctor/PT/OT's help) causes real harm to people.

give people information when you suggest mobility aids to them. people listen to your suggestions without researching and it causes harm.

why does everyone want disabled people to be quiet? nobody cares about our struggles. nobody is excited with us when we get what we need. everyone feels so bad for us. but when we feel bad everyone says "well, get used to it" but dont care to change the inaccessibility. this is all blurry. my mind is blurry. idk anymore. do you understand what I'm saying? please dont let this flop. scream this from the rooftop. please.

if you use more than one, choose which you use more. if you use them equally, choose which you like the best or find the most helpful

you don't need anyone's permission to use something to help with your mobility. use those cane, crushes, rollator, walker, wheelchair, etc

Since APPARENTLY this needs to be said AGAIN

Wheelchair seating is for (surprise) wheelchair users. We need that spot because it is the only safe spot on the bus for us. The ONLY reason you shouldn't move for someone in a wheelchair from the wheelchair spot is if you are also in a wheelchair and got their first. I WILL keep yelling at people to move.

Also the DISABLED seating is for DISABLED people! It is NOT for your fucking kids or luggage. You wanting your kids to have a better view on a long trip (literally just happened to me) is no fucking reason to take all the fucking disabled seating. I had to have multiple people help me up the fucking steep ass stairs to sit on the normal seat area. I'm in so much pain now from the effort. It took forever. And I get to feel humiliated for not being able to make it to my seat.

Now imagine instead of having a little walking capability I had none. I may have not made it on the bus home.

Abled people reblog but stop adding things like "do people really do this?" "But I don't do this" "this is just common courtesy" I wouldn't constantly be posting about it if it didnt constantly happen for fucks sake

but seriously, i can't believe how far i've gone. and how i should be really proud of myself.

11 years of never-ending pain, of learning how to ignore and endure it, how to look and act "normal".

then my first shitty canes (they're pretty but completely unusable). first steps. first shame. how i was afraid to show up at work with it.

after that, i ordered a custom cane. and then another one. i decorated them. made them vibing. i started taking it to work, still afraid to use it around my colleagues.

then i got three house canes (first and second ones got chewed by my beloved dog lol) and started using it at home as well.

and now i use it everywhere i go. when i walk my dog, when i go to my lunch break on work, when i get around my apartment.

i got forearm crutches and learned how to use them. i decorated them too! they're yellow, covered in flowers stickers.

today i started saving up for my future rollator. i believe i'll be able to actually order it by june.

it all happened too fast, i still have impostor syndrome, i still feel self-conscious, like i'm not actually disabled and don't belong to cpunk communtiy and i'm a faker etc etc etc... but one thing happened: i improved my life. (even if i'm a faker lol) i got less pain every day, less fatigue, i stopped being ashamed at least of my canes.

my best friend was a big part of this journey, without her support i'd never get here. love her so much.
