this! what people don’t understand with me having multiple mobility aids is all are detrimental to some degree for me. i must select carefully. i must rotate as i need different support

can they invent a mobility aid that helps with the joint pain & also does NOT cause different joint pain in a different area from use

fitness report and workout of the day!

you know i LOVE a just dance workout- done seated in my chair. dancing always feels very nice on my spine and feels very decompressing.

ID: worked out by dance for 48 minutes and 205 active calories

I met my new personal record on my morning walks this morning! 1.22km!!

For context, I am disabled and walking more than a block or two usually wears me out. However, it is possible for me to build up strength and stamina, and I'd like to be able to go hiking again one day.

The methadone clinic finally moved me up to a month's worth of medication and that's what I received yesterday.

I was supposed to call my counselor and check in with her, but I lost the number that was specific to her. I will have to call the clinic directly tomorrow. They're already closed for today. I did call Wayfair and ask for an update on the dresser I tried to order from them. It's probably going to take a while due to occasional inclement weather. I scheduled rides to art therapy both this Monday and the Monday after that already, too.

Sometime this weekend, I need to catch up on dishes and laundry. I'm thinking this night, I'll try to get in 7 more hours with my CPAP. Getting in extra hours might improve my score and compensate for the nights I could only get 3. I'm trying really hard to establish compliance and there's no excuse not to now that I'm fitted with a mask that doesn't blow air in my eyes.

By the way, I received my Pilates Reformer from Lhanel after all! I already cancelled my case against them with my credit union. It's just a cheap, plastic board and the timer doesn't work, but I can tell I will get at least mild results from it if I just use it consistently. :)

small win!!

ok I've really wanted to find healthy ways to lose weight but being tht I have a long history of EDs and a LAUNDRY LIST of disabilities... that shit is HARD. finding something accessible enough feels impossible.

but last night the husband got a code for Just Dance.

I just did cardio for an HOUR!

the moves are so modifiable, the game has accessibility options, there's no calories lost displayed on the screen... I could go for another hour if I hadn't forgotten to turn on my fan and gotten overheated! this is a GAME CHANGER

I present some nerdy prudes (oh and Max)

(I really wanted to take a shot at giving them all more than 1-3ish outfits that I think fit their styles)

here's to all the little sacrifices we have to make as disabled people.

here's to skipping a friend's party because you were in too much pain, or because you had no energy.

here's to dropping out of clubs because they became too much for you.

here's to all the times we've said "no it's okay, you guys go ahead, i'll hang back here."

here's to all the things we've held ourselves back from just in case they hurt us.

here's to moving seats in class away from your friends because your back was getting a draft and the cold hurts you.

here's to us. here's to letting ourselves heal. here's to being cautious, being safe.

here's to the things we can do. the things we're allowed to do. here's to enjoying those things, enjoying our lives.

here's to making the most of being us.

Forcemasc except instead of pushing you to go to the gym, it's pushing you to do your physio. it's pushing you to take up space and take your wellbeing seriously - use your mobility aids, take your meds, stop letting other people push you too hard. stop pushing yourself too hard. Understand that you deserve to be here, deserve to be who you are, deserve to be respected. That your masculinity isn't defined by your physical strength or your athleticism or how you look or what other people think of you - it's just part of who and how you are, and now you have someone who sees that. That sees You, and won't let you back down from who you really are.

I don't think a lot of people realize that lot of their advice to disabled people often boils down to "Get over it." they are trying to be helpful but their idea of helpful is "Just do the thing" because that's what they do. for them they just do things. It comes naturally to just do it.

They don't know how to bridge the gap between you and the task. For them the bridge is already pre-built and stable. For disabled people the bridge is run down, not well kept, it feels unsteady and is hard to get across without being slow and cautious - hell for some people there is no bridge and we need to build it ourselves but we don't have the bridge building tools and no one gives them to us.

"Just cross the bridge." They say before walking over their pre-built bridge. They never gave you the tools to build a bridge to cross.

Okay but Big and Bloop would actually be the most rad children's story book. Just, the simple adventures of a boy too big for the world and his best friend, a robot who cannot speak.

I'd imagine the book would go through Big's life as something akin to him starting off as a normal baby, if a bit large, but growing too fast and too big, and his parents try to love him but cannot accommodate him so he goes off on his own. Throughout his adventures he meets many people, but there is no house big enough for him, the people are too small, and perhaps even scared to hang around with him. Until he meets Bloop, a robot who everyone says wasn't built quite right so it's a pity he cannot speak. I think they become friends birdwatching, Big is so tall and strong that he can lift Bloop up where he can point out all the birds. Together they come up with some simplified morse-code adjacent way for Bloop to say what kind of bird it is. And they hit it off, going on adventures, Bloop can get into places Big can't, and Big can tell people what Bloop is saying. And they don't find a home, but at least they're together.

Something like this looks good, too.

Lots of space to stretch.
