Not having to work, and not being ABLE to work are not the same thing.

2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with #Endometriosis. I've had it for at least 11 years and it has likely been a major source of my #chronicpain. I'm having urgent surgery on August 1st. Hopefully this could reduce my pain. I am suffering deeply right now. Please send positive vibes x #disability

When your appendix might be bursting but you are waiting 5 hours WITH YOUR WIFE for a CT scan because the technicians want a pregnancy test... I can laugh about it 2 weeks later.😂 Thankful I had a good nurse who realized the problem 🙌 #disabled #disability #humor #lesbian #nurse #nursesrule
A screenshot of a text message that says she's a married lesbian and has an IUD so your point is moot. Your nurse at the CT people 😆

Oh, you're starting to have basic symptoms of aging and realize you're not invincible? Boo hoo. Some of us had to accept #disabilities as children & will never know what it's like to not be symptomatic. Privilege doesn't just apply to wealth or status. If you're healthy today, check your privilege.

#Disability & #chronicpain friends I need advice: I have been at a level 10/10 pain for days. I'm struggling to move/ even think. My wife doesn't know what to do/ how to support me when it's this bad & I don't know what to tell her. What kind of behavior is helpful from your partner during a flare?

When I was 14 my English teacher saved my life when I tried to kill myself bc of abusive parents. Yesterday she and her husband legally adopted me (I'm 28) I've never felt so loved. I never thought I could "deserve" it bc I was taught that love is transactional. Now I know it can be unconditional.

Nothing can prepare you for the pain of watching people you love disappear from your life when you become chronically ill. They stick around for awhile, asking “are you better yet?” They need you to say Yes. They want things back to normal. When it doesn’t happen? They vanish
