I’m back. - Admittedly, not as soon as I would’ve liked - | It’s been a while | Vlog 2
It’s been about a week since I last flogged and I did not mean to leave it that long. I meant to daily Vlog, so I guess this is day one again. But if it ends up being a weekly blog, it does end up being a weekly blog I guess we will see how this week goes and I will keep you updated as to anything that might happen. In the meantime, please, tell me about what you have planned for your upcoming holiday weekends

The Hard Truth Living With A Disability & Working
Просмотров 2972 года назад
This whole situation is hard to believe for me even now. That said, I think when we all realize our privilege(s) we also allow ourselves to see from a different point of view.

But facing the fact when it is the truth of a loved ones experience ...

The LifeGlider is a no fall walker. But it is so much more than that. This is a walker, stander, gait trainer all in one and in many ways it has given me more mobility than I ever thought possible after the past several years I've had. Things have levelled out since the pandemic, due to staying at home and managing my environment, the temperature and how much I move in very specific ways. But t...

    I have Miniere's Disease and there are anywhere from 2-8 days a month in which I am dizzy enough to need to rest and often manifests into full vertigo in which the world is spinning, and I get so nauseated I puke. The only real cure is to burn out my ear drum and have 100% hearing loss in one ear at a young age! I have adjusted my diet and tried lifestyle changes which has helped but is NOT a cure. I hope you get the aid you need and deserve!

    When I'm stressed out I mostly l8sten to loud music and stim. I will often listen to the same song over and over, but I aleo have dozens of playlists to choose from as well. I also play my favorite games. I also have oral stims like chewelry and many many fidgets like popits and those bendy straw like tube things. When I have some available I'll drink iced red tea.

    Depending upon the nature of my stress, I calm down by playing various genres of video game (turn-based is nice when spasms are having a party), listen to music, listen to a podcast (sometimes while playing a video game), or read. Petting a cat definitely helps when they are agreeable, and I prioritize time with friends whenever possible (I am extroverted.).

    When I have stress, I play some chess. Lol, I know that rhymes but it's true, I play chess or do some gardening, or some other activity that's not related to the stressful situation. Hang in there, everything's gonna work out, you'll get your bus pass and it'll be just fine. I live and work here in California but I wish I could just drop everything and drive up there to Winnipeg and find a house with wheelchair access, a house big enough for the two of us and for our children that we would have together. Lol, I know it's just a fantasy but you really are a beautiful human being, Mindy, and I love you❤Sending great big hugs and kisses your way🤗 P.S.

    That's really cool! Is there a rubber pad on it so the cup won't slip? I learned a long time ago to always just leave a good inch at the top, and that works for me.

    • @livingmycplife
      @livingmycplife 4 месяца назад

      I don’t know how it works. There is some kind of weight in the bottom that keeps everything straight, but it does have a a very thin, not quite rubber, but somewhat rubbery coaster on top that you put the actual cup on, it’s not quite rubber or silicone, even though it looks like it.

    • @justpedal65
      @justpedal65 4 месяца назад

      @livingmycplife It (the cup and liquid) just stay parallel to the momentum forces that cause sloshing. Another way to look at it - the cup and spillnot just "moves with" the slosh motion, thus squashing (negating) any momentum of said slosh. And yes... I'm a math nerd. 😁

    The "CP is non-progressive" line is very frustrating to me because while it's technically true as far as the underlying issue, it ignores the reality that most of us will face worsening symptoms over time. That transition would have been much easier for me if I had been prepared for it at all. I even had a few people gaslight me when I described things like worsening symptoms given that "non progressive" has been drilled into so many people's heads regarding CP.

    We are not forewarned about the extreme pain(s) that will occur starting in the late 20's. I don't think CP has been studied well. Sure, there are doctors for babies and up to the age of 18 . During the young adult life, and older, there are no doctors who specializes in CP. I have to carefully monitor myself. The pain can be extremely painful. I had to say no to a lot of things on account of my painful condition. I can't overdo on certain things. Yes, it's frustrating when aging with CP.

These things have been so difficult for me to accept, but I cannot begin to tell you how much videos like this have been giving me comfort! There just doesn't seem to be many people who understand what this is like... Or people that can explain what may happen to us as we age. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I cried when you talked about having to ask for more help. It's helpful to know that I'm not the only one. ♥️
