Mobility Milestone

This may not be a big deal to most but it is for me. And I wanted to share it with yall

Before my fibromyalgia I would be able to walk 10k steps a day rather easily. Of course that quickly changed

Today I was able to walk over 3k steps. That is something I haven’t been able to do for over a year. That’s like a big deal for someone with mobility issues.

Last year I was trapped in a wheelchair. Now I’m working with a walker. I was able to WALK over 3k steps. I did it. I did that

Maybe one day it’ll be 10k

For now tho, I’ve beaten a goal I never thought possible

I walked over 3k and imma be proud of that

But damn my legs hurt like fuck now and tomorrow might be a wheelchair day

But I still did it. I was able to still do it anyway. Do something that was never possible before

Gonna call that a victory

Quick question for people with disabilities that require a walking aid or my fellow ambulatory wheelchair users. I really want to travel more and me and my family are thinking of booking a holiday for next Christmas but as I'm sure many of you are aware of alot of the world simply isn't accessible for wheelchair users or disabilities in general. So I've been thinking of investing in a walking aid but the issue I'm having is would it be better to get a cane or a crutch? I was hoping anyone might have some advice on this choice maybe share some advice from their own experience?

Have a happy new year! 🎉

Also, if anyone has any advice on travelling as a disabled person, it is greatly welcomed

Finally biting the bullet and contacting my doctor about getting a walking aid. You better believe I'm gonna have a punk AF walking cane

So a plot in one of my fanfics is that a disease spreads through the land that affects only magical people (it eats away at their magic and messes with pretty much everything about them. Several characters become ill and at least one is permanently disabled and one dies. Note that this is just counting the canon characters.) The permanently disabled character ends up with walking difficulties and spends the rest of the fic series as an ambulatory wheelchair user (he was murdered in canon so he's way better off. Also I'm not going to lie i saw an incredible piece of fanart that showed him in a wheelchair and I was INSPIRED!) He gets to still practice magic and fight, just needs to adjust for his new wheels! And of course he also gets to be a political figure, husband and father.

Thing is, it's low-key hard to find information about walking issues that stem from illness that isn't like...polio or rickets. Do you or any of your followers know of any I can look up so I can make this fictional magic disease more realistic (does it affect his nerves? Cause pain? Fatigue? Balance? I'm still unsure)

ok so I'm gonna need the name of the media because this all sounds very vague lol.

As to walking issues it could even be something like multiple sclerosis or arthritis (a friend of mine has MS and my dad has arthritis in his legs/hips). (they're not really comparable it's just that I'm talking to my friend with MS today and he's been my friend since college).

Also for walking issues there's loads of wheelchair users/walker users that are just well old. Like ok my grandma didn't start using a cane until her late 70's but now she because of macular degeneration she's got a cane, a walker and a wheelchair.

For example my mom has arthritis in her hands but her balance is getting worse as she gets older and she like needs the motorized cart at walmart and target and costco. Like her specific issue is actually cirrhosis of the liver and her energy is very low and she can't stay on her feet for very long without getting cramps.

Like I'd suggest watching Night Sky for example its on netflix I think?

it's got sissy spacek and her character and her husband come in contact with this like alien life form that like... cures them kinda? A lot of their disabilities and limitations were simply age related. I didn't watch the whole show tho so sorry if its not good representation but I remember my mom watched the whole thing and wished for there to be a second season.

Followers please let me know if Night Sky was good representation!!! Also any suggestions for this ask would be appreciated!

I fell hard for the first time in a while because there was water on the floor and my joints weren’t strong enough to keep me standing. Luckily nothing too bad just straining and bruising on my legs and my partner was there to help me up.

But it was a reminder that someday I’m probably going to need some kind of aid to get around on bad days, and I’m just not sure how I feel about that yet. I’m 27 years old and it just feels like something I shouldn’t have to consider for years and years.

It feels stupid to worry about this. I know everyone falls, it just reminded me of the fragility of my body because of this illness and the ways that will keep impacting me as I age.

I don’t know what the point of this post is honestly. Just sharing another frustration and worry due to fibromyalgia to add to my list.

I never realised how many cool cane brands there are. I used to be terrified of using walking aids but now you can get ones that match your personality?!?!? That is so fucking cool. I have brought a light up clear one and I am more than excited to use it.

[bubblegum-flavored-highlighter]

Having to explain that ⏃ mobility aid isn't just for disabled people and that disabled people can still be ableist and they still don't want to get it even tho it'd be hella beneficial for them is making me gnaw on my teeth like stop the stigma please please please it's fine you're allowed to use your resources it's not taking resources from others it's helping others get them ⟟ hate the USAmerica mindset of "if ⟟ use it it'll be less accessible" THATS ⏃ LIE, MORE USE = MORE FUNDING/LOWER COSTS tcstnoguts3ujudrxubor5wsrjboht

It's killing me, this girly is always complaining about pain in their hip while walking yet won't consider ⏃ walking aid because "others need it more than me" like no, you need it, if it helps it helps, and using it will only validate others that they can use it and be ok too!! Like girly...... you're allowed to use your resources.... girly, the doctors not believing you DOESN'T mean nothings wrong.... girly your mom is ableist for telling you to "get over it" for 5 whole years..... girly at least consider ⏃ walking aid.......

Just got a cane feeling good

You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side

based on a headcanon where due to the double dose of Agony he received, Eclipse feels some pain that hinders his ability to walk. Some days are fine, some days he needs to use it. But he adamantly refuses to use it around the others to avoid "looking weak".
