My bone died and now I can’t walk!

here’s the story of how my skeleton betrayed me and how people’s reactions have inspired my upcoming villain arc.

Since the beginning of the year I’ve had some trouble with my hip, which made walking painful and gradually more difficult. I assumed I’d pulled something, but when things didn’t improve, I went to a doctor. Multiple X-rays, an MRI, and a CT scan later, I was diagnosed with avascular necrosis (AVN; also called osteonecrosis). I don’t know why I, as a 19 yr old female, developed a rare condition usually found in middle aged men with a history of steroid use and alcoholism, but I’m being passed around doctors who are looking into procedures to lessen the damage. Basically there wasn’t enough blood getting to my bone and the tissue died, fracturing in the process. I’m on two crutches and can’t walk for more than a few steps without leaning on the wall or something.

One of the most significant things I’ve noticed outside of my body, though, is the way people treat me. I work for a small company, and customers new and old have all had something to say about a young woman having to use a crutch. (I use one at work so my other hand is free.) I’m not kidding when I say that the day after I started using them, a man came in and asked, “why’re they making you work if you’re a cripple?” and he laughed. You’d be surprised the number of people who’ve called me that. Most people assume I broke something doing sports. I get “what’s wrong with you?” on the regular, which is *such* a strange thing to ask someone! I tried responding with ‘I don’t know’ or ‘broke my hip’, which were true, but didn’t seem to satisfy people. If you joke and say ‘bear attack’ they demand the real story. Once I knew what it was I had, I simply told the really insistent customers that I have a bone disease. (People don’t like that either! One woman asked my full legal name so she could write a letter to her priest about me, then came back weeks later to tell my coworker she sobbed in her car because of me!)

Coworkers aren’t much better: my boss and another coworker, both women around their 60s, were looking at me and laughing, so I asked what was up. They said I should tell everyone I got injured having the roughest, craziest sex of my life. That I found a sex shop that sells the perfect handcuffs and I could recommend them to customers who asked. My response to that was just to stand there like 🩼🧍‍♀️.

So! Yeah! People should stop assuming that they’re close enough to strangers to joke about their conditions or grill them for information. No, I don’t know when I’ll be able to walk. No, I don’t know why I developed this problem. No, you can’t walk into the store and call me a cripple, you don’t know me, you’re not funny, my bones have literally degraded and you’re laughing about how I’m ‘hobbling around’?

(Nobody get me started on doctors. I have one really great one but I’m currently in a new hospital where a nurse explained that they may or may not have lost the file for my CT scan… Plus the RMV had no idea where my handicapped placard went and told me just to keep calling them until they had it.)

That’s all folks! I might have updates about walking or surgery eventually but that’s my story :’)

Hi y’all! My mother is battling a condition called Osteonecrosis and we are fundraising to pay for her surgery. Unfortunately insurance will not cover it and it’s very costly. I just want to spread the word and get my mother healthy again! So if you can like, share, reblog, donate, any contribution helps! Thank you 🙏🏽❤️

fyi the pussylips blog you just reblogged from is a terf.

ty for letting me know I'll block them n take it down

[gwyneirastorm]

I'm having hip surgery on Wednesday and I'm actually super fucking nervous. They're removing the dead bone in my femur and basically reconstructing the joint. Hopefully it will take and I won't need a full replacement in the future. But in the meantime I'm so nervous about this. Not the surgery itself. That should be fine. Im nervous about the recovery.

I just hope I can manage being down for so long and manage the post-op pain.

My house is still falling apart and I really really need to clean the bathroom tomorrow but at least we managed to go for a roll along the beach boardwalk for a couple of miles this morning. Frankie hates the way he gets stared at in the wheelchair but he is so much faster in it and it’s way less painful for him. I feel bad pushing him to go outside in it but I really believe the sunlight helps. He was started on steroids today (huge dose but only for 5 days) and I really really hope they will work. They’re already helping his pain, which is definitely not what they’re for but a welcome side effect.
