[to myself] you are allowed to use mobility aids. you are allowed to use sensory aids. you are allowed to use mobility aids. you are allowed to use aids to make your life easier. there is not a "level" of disabled you have to be be to use aids. you are allowed, you are allowed, you are allowed.
[to myself] you are not weak for using aids. it does not mean you are not trying. there is no pride in suffering. there is no shame in using help. you are allowed to make your life easier. you are allowed, you are allowed, you are allowed.
#someone tell me to just go buy the goddamn walker#why do i feel so much resistance about it even tho it would help so much sometimes???#always feel guilty for wearing sunglasses in class even tho the light LITERALLY can send me into seizures sometimes#but what if they think i'm being disrespectful#I AM ALLOWED TO ACCOMODATE MY OWN NEEDS#fuck#disability#mobility aids#disability pride#inner conflict#disabled#disabilities#self love#self care#invisible disability#mobility

Smartcrutch lets you do low monthly payments hmm
#wrenfea.exe#i need to stop looking at mobility aids at 4am#i havent been able to sleep (for once)#those elbow ones i was looking at earlier are still out of stock#and the company hasnt posted anything since 2019#im trying to stop myself from impulse buying#whenever im in a lot of pain i tend to impulse buy anything that might help#usually it does end up helping but isnt great for my wallet#chronic disability#chronic pain#spoonie#disability#fibromyalgia#chronic illness#degenerative disc disease#mobility aids#crutches#if anyones used smartcrutches lmk what you think#i dont want to get more expensive ones till ive tried a less expensive pair out first#specifically how durable they are to outdoor use

Yesterday’s outfit of the day (if I had crutches and hadn’t been in too much pain to leave the house)
#my toxic trait is drawing myself with the mobility aids I want instead of buying them#I like this hoodie a lot because it’s the same colors as my Caduceus cardigan#art#digital art#self portrait#procreate app#procreate#having crutches would probably have allowed me to leave the house#I was very excited to wear that outfit#perhaps I will wear it tomorrow instead#and one day I will get a mobility aid I just can’t right now#I look forward to the day when I’m in an environment that’ll support that decision

so mobility aids are fucking expensive and nobody takes insurance so while i've found braces that fit my (k)needs best they're 209 usd. Each.
the good news is that means i'll be opening commissions soon if you like my artstyle so ✌️👍👍
#morrisounds#paying for this AND top surgery AND upcoming holidays .#fuck the holidays actually you're all getting cookies#augh.#oh and getting sterilized#top surgery + sterilization MIGHT. be covered by insurance. but then there's the potentially buying a house#and this doesn't even address the foot/hip/back pain#back pain is covered i just need like a yoga/chirp wheel. but my god#why is being alive so expensive fuck this gay earth#if anyone knows of any good places to get mobility aids i'm begging bc the minimum price i've found for SERVICABLE braces is 104#the ones i really want are the bauerfeind genutrain s. they seem to be the best+reccommended by other people with eds

my new toxic trait is that whenever someone complains about any kind of fatigue or leg pain within earshot i immediately think "just get a cane"
im serious though
like, acquiring a cane is so easy compared to a lot of mobility aids, you can literally get them for ten bucks at CVS, i got mine for twenty off amazon because i wanted one that folds, and it has served me great
like, i think we a society would be much better off if we completely normalized mobility aids to the point that you can just,, buy one, for a temporary injury
and with canes specifically, again they're cheap! but also they're often adjustable, so if you only need it temporarily for an injury and don't want to hang onto it, you can give it to someone else, or even donate it!
just, recently someone was complaining about ankle pain (a sprain, i think, they weren't using crutches or wearing a boot or anything so i'm not sure) and i'm just thinking "why wouldn't you get a cane for that?" like, medical underarm crutches can be unwieldy, and it's just one ankle, so a cane is a perfect solution
anyway, stigma around mobility aids is a prison and you can literally just buy a cane if it'd help you. no one can stop you, and you can donate it if it doesn't help/when you don't need it anymore
#i ramble#original#mobility aid#cane#walking canes#cane user#im literally so serious you can just buy a cane if you think it would help no one asks you any questions#this is what i mean when i say normalization and destigmatization is for the good of everyone#this was just supposed to be a joke post but then i started actually having thoughts#you're not 'taking resources from others' if those resources HELP YOU#there is no harm in trying things and if it doesnt help you donate it and there's no harm done#in fact a net good has been done bc someone who might not have been able to get one before#can now get one#so do it!! you dont need permission to use an aid!!! literally just try things out!! see what happens and what helps!!!

Less cyberpunk and more biopunk please and thank you, cyberpunk is too real rn
#my disabled ass was forced to buy and use a smart watch#that by default tracks my sleep heartrate and movement#if i wanna be able to use the 5000 dollar wheelchair motor i got 3 years ago#because apparently a simple fucking bluetooth watch is too much for a company to maintain#and they have to outsource it to samsung and apple#despite their watches not working as good#because they were never designed to be a mobility aid#because fuck me i guess#i hate cyberpunk

one of these days I will cave and buy myself a walking stick/ cane of some sort
#mobility aid#cane#walking stick#It’s for the fact I will not go see a doctor about my problems#I just manage them#and honestly I feel like a cane is better than feeling pathetic always having my hand on the wall or on counters#and I can use it to stand up that sounds fire#AND I got something to lean on when the waves of dizzy sleepy pass out come on#One of these days#life goals#buy a cane and also one of those toy cars that you pull back and then they zoom#those were my dream as a kid#and honestly they still are. They say I get them is the day I’ve made it#Maybe then people will belive me when I say I can’t drive due to mobility and dexterity issues#and also the random pass out but that’s unrelated

rented a wheelchair at the zoo during a uni event today,
I've been severely underestimating how inconvenient the generic hospital-style chairs are
like my upper body strength is fine, but i am very short and now my arms are bruised from the armrests and i have blisters :) if the armrests had been removable I would've been fine
but I'll take some bruises over falling over or stabbing pain any day so 🤷
#mobility aid#wheelchair#disability#chronic pain#im planning on buying just a generic chair at some point and modding it myself so it works#i absolutely do not have $2000+ for a custom one but i do have access to and experience with power tools

Anyone have any tips for decorating a cane? I might be getting one to see if it’ll take some of the pressure off of my bunions and I want it to look as fruity as I am
#i may buy a bunch of small stickers and spray paint#and maybe I’ll tie a little crystal charm to it if I can find a nice place#i was worried my parents would laugh at me when I asked for one but my mom was like#yeah sure we just gotta get you sized but we can get one from cvs for you#chronic illness#cripple punk#spoonie#mobility aids
