Hiii! Cane grip anon here again :DD i would absolutely appreciate the stretches that you do if it's not too much of a problem :DD

it's no problem! hopefully i explain this good haha

first you'll pull each of your fingers back as far as comfortable for two seconds. then you'll pull all of your fingers back for five seconds. do this on each hand

after this you'll push your hands together in a prayer like motion (🙏 this) and raise them above your head. then shake them out. do this five times

then shake your hands out for a few (three or so) seconds and rub your forearms, wrists, palms, and fingers.

if your hands feel warmer after you're doing good! the blood is flowing to your hands

hope this was helpful! /gen

Hiiii this is a bit of a heavy question, so absolutely feel free to ignore, but do you have any tips on coping with a worsening physical condition? Like, I was invited to a skiing trip with my partner's family, and I just realised I don't have the physical wellness anymore to do that. I've never skied before. That's just something I will never be able to do. That just hit me like a fucking truck 😭

no, i completely understand!

with the ski trip i unfortunately do not have any advice. I've also found that a lot of things i wanted to do, like careers and vacations, i cant do anymore. this, of course, sucks.

but you got to remember the things you can do. you can still look out the window and see nature. you can write and create and sing.

it doesn't matter if you suck at singing or your hand shakes when you try to draw. it still comes from you and your heart.

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for this blog. I recently had to get a cane, and I've been feeling a bit shit about it, but seeing such a large collection of people confidently using canes and decorating them and being proud really made me feel a lot better about using one. So, thank you, for this :)

aw, of course!! i try my best to spread positivity about using canes and other mobility aids! im very happy to hear you've gotten a cane.
