I feel so unwell - chronic illness doesn’t stop for anything

[disabledbean]

Should be enjoying the Christmas season but instead I am stuck in some of the worst pain I have ever felt struggling to breathe.

I hate this condition.

Started new meds today - I am praying they help with pain

Managed to make the 10 minute walk (or wheel) to a small shop today and buy something all from my wheelchair!! First time I have ever done that alone!!!

We love explaining your paralysis to a doctor and being told to walk 🥲

Literally happened to me today - I am so fed up

I'm not sure people realise just how important this second of television is.

Showing a person in a wheelchair crossing her legs. Using her legs.

After what rtd said about davros and rose in the unleashed episodes, this was 100 percent done on purpose.

When I go out in a wheelchair I am terrified to make it noticeable that I can use my legs. Because ... well we all know why and I'm not really articulate enough to go into everything.

But this. This right here. I doubt anyone who uses a wheelchair didn't have a doubletake. A glimmer. A KNOWING about just how important this tiny, insignificant action was.

And I'm fucking here for it

So fed up with being in constant pain

“oh I’m too old for stuffed animals” skill issue. sorry you can’t appreciate little creatures made to hang out with you, I on the other hand am full of joyous whimsy and therefore vastly superior.

I have no spoons left today and it feels like I’m not going to have any tomorrow

At this point Duolingo is an addictive challenge to keep the streak going

Someone got annoyed at me today for using the lift to go up one level…. I’m in a fucking wheelchair. What did they want me to do wheelie up each individual stair on the very crowded stair well?

[disabledbean]

sure there’s a ramp, but is it steep? is there a curb at the top? is the ground uneven? do i need a key for the elevator? are the aisles and doorways wide enough? do i have room to turn? is there furniture and clutter in my way? is the carpet difficult to wheel on? can i open the doors myself?

accessibility to wheelchairs is more than just a ramp.

Why am I surprised that I get so tired? I have chronic fatigue and I am an overachieving student who doesn’t stop studying

This was taken just after I picked up my new wheelchair!
