The hardest part about being “disabled” is knowing that your needs are an inconvenience to people – that’s what I keep learning 🙁
It’s 3 : 46 PM on day 814 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,publish my Disability of the Day feature, stretch my hamstrings, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, feed myself baked beans on toast for breakfast and watch TV.
Today I finally saw myself the way my family sees me my mom and my sister were going to the grocery store in that precise moment I needed to go to the bathroom so as per usual my mom dropped everything to help me after which she got caught up in other things my sister was so mad she basically said everything was always about me and my brother and I have to say I understood why she felt that way I need so much help physically at this point it’s not even funny the worst part is my family can’t even say damn you for being this way because I did nothing to cause my disability it’s just one of those things that happened to me that’s inconveniencing everybody around me. Do you feel bad when your needs inconvenience other people?
