I am. Stuff. Etc.

Well, I have been wearing the back brace for hours, I have practiced varied stretches and exercises, I have taken Ultram and Soma... and of course I hurt. I always hurt. I have accepted this so easily. Because it will not change. No matter what anyone tells me ( Read more... )

Man, I wish you could chat with Maze. Y'all would get on great, as he feels pretty much exactly the same way.

Yeah, I agree. He sounds so awesome.

And you are beautiful, brilliant Joanna, and that's that too!

I love you, Fiona, you are always so good with words. And I do need reassurance because I feel hellish and weak.

Things are hellish but you're trucking on and here, and communicating and continuing to be you. You may feel weak, but you are certainly not weak. <3

Cool? "Cool"? COOL? Oh, HELL NO.

If you can, if you are able, can you send me a private message about what has been happening? I've been so concerned!

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what's been going on, so best to tell me everything...

Call yourself whatever you want, love. I sure do. And whatever you want to be called, let me know, and I will certainly defend your wishes to anyone who dares say otherwise.

PC isn't about making us disabled folks feel good about ourselves. It's about making other people feel okay about us. And that's not our responsibility. We can call ourselves whatever makes the most sense to us, whatever is true of ourselves. If someone else is uncomfortable with how I choose to label myself, that is not my problem.
