\nI\u2019m starting to learn that I can use my mobility aid whenever I want to. I don\u2019t need to be in excruciating pain. I can use it to prevent my pain or when I\u2019m having low level pain.
I can also use it even when I don\u2019t have pain, using it when I\u2019m dizzy and off balance is totally valid :)
Learning to reverse internalized ableism is slow but it feels great!
Been using a cane lately and even on days the stability’s not too bad I realize that instead of trying to stabilize it in the muscles and tire myself I can just let lateral wobble build up and shed it by tapping every 4 or 6 steps
