I pray for you all of the time,

please come home.

nihilism and stoicism isn’t enough, I need God.

you ever get so upset you almost throw up?

spoke deeply to me.

oh...that's why my "rest day" ended in more pain :/

Fun fact! Did you know that if you don't move around enough with chronic pain, that it will hurt just as bad if you move around too much?! So no matter what you do, there is only

pain˚✧ ﾟ.

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 love when symptoms act up randomly, like why is my hip hurting randomly you haven't done any hard work in two days..

i’m still alive, I’m sorry for my lack of posting, the despair of social media rotted my brain and caused me to need some outside mental help.

Hopefully I’ll get back to posting normally.
