Cane version (you are here!)
Rollator version
Wheelchair version
Power Chair version
White Cane version
Crutch version
I don’t use crutches, so if crutch users would like one, please give me some suggestions!
[ID: Image of an edited “Why Do We Have Hands” meme. The top says “Why Do We Have Canes?” and just beneath that is a cartoon picture of a cane in black and white. This is followed by the text “There Are Many Reasons:”. Beneath that is a series of pictures in a square formation. The first picture on the top left is of a basic outline of a person with spikey black hair and a spiked collar. The are using a black cane topped with a skull. The caption is “look badass.” The next picture to the right of it is in the same style and depicts a person being hit on the head with a cane. The caption is “HIT the ableist.” The bottom left picture is a cartoon-style hand holding up a cane, and the caption is “shake stick at God.” The final image on the bottom right is a horizontal picture of a cane with a sticker on it that says “TALK SHIT, GET HIT” in a creepy font. To the right of the sticker is another sticker depicting a skull-faced cat. /end ID]
#one day ill be in a situation where its socially acceptable to hit someone with my cane#i have faith#kalposting#sent to me

oh the unquenchable hubris of believing that physical health problems can be overcome through the sheer power of will and pigheadedness

My favorite thing to do as someone with EDS is ask people if they hears my joints pop. Gave my spouse a high five today in front of his sibling and when my wrist popped I turned to her and went "did u hear my wrist pop? :D" and she went "I think your wrist was louder than the actual high five" lmao

If you're ambulatory and struggle standing to cook, consider a "perching stool" for the kitchen. They're made to make cooking safer and easier for disabled people and there's a lot of different kinds. I wish I had known about these when I could still stand.

Was stubborn and thought I could fall asleep without ibuprofen and now I'm up at 1 am on a work night, waiting for the ibuprofen I just took to kick in.
