CW: medical matters, described by one doctor as “some fucked up traumatic shit”
So, I don’t think many on fedi knew me prior to 2021, and definitely nobody on nostr, so this might require some backstory.
I have a life long physical disability that severely limits my movement. It’s had some minor ups and down over the years, but nothing life altering, until 2021. Suddenly, whilst watching TV my legs locked up and I couldn’t move them at all. Two weeks in hospital later, I’ve just about regained the ability to go to the toilet unassisted and get myself up some stairs to bed, but I’m a shell of my former self.
Ever since that day I’ve been notability more limited in my movement than I was even before that. There isn’t an area of my life it hasn’t touched, directly or indirectly. We had to move house because I couldn’t manage stairs safely. I’ve had to give up diving shortly after getting my instructor qualification because I can’t handle the kit weight. I’ve stopped doing most kink events because frankly they just suck in a wheelchair. I could go on all day about minor things, but you get the idea.
