Reblog if you understand that disability is not a monolith and two people with the same disability do not have identical experiences ✨

i was not made for this world, spiritually and physically I stand out of place.

when I said my account was a safe place, I was excluding the problem men.

The goods one are welcome and loved, but the bad ones? I let God deal with you.

Softness is strength

A bunch of resources I've found as I've been learning about canes and how to use them ...

➡️ Physiopedia - types of canes, types of handles/grips, and how to use your cane

➡️ Mayo Clinic - How to size your cane, how to walk with it, and how to go up and down stairs

➡️ Pathways - Signs you might need a mobility aid

🎥 Video by Vive Health - demonstration of correct sizing and how to position your cane when walking, featuring a quad cane

🎥 Video by Orthopedic One - longer demonstration of how to walk with cane as well as demonstration of how to go up and down stairs

➡️ Web MD - what a cane is useful for, 3 types of cane, and how to use a cane (including how to go between standing and sitting)

🎥 Front Row with Ed and Elizabeth - how not to use a cane

➡️ Seniors Mobility - How does a cane help, how to walk with a cane, how to use a cane for balance, how a cane can help with back pain, and when you might need crutches instead

➡️ Med Plus Health - Canes vs walkers/rollators

Please feel free to reblog and add to this list or let me know if you've got a better resource for any of these topics ✌️

i’m supposed to settle with boys who send “wyd””u send?” or “i though u were gunna pay” WHEN HOZIER EXISTS??? that’s the type of man I like.

spent a week offline and write poetry, the real question is do I share that madness under the guise of “girlblogging”
