Something we don’t really talk about on this account is that we’re a wheelchair user. And today, after four years of fighting insurance, our custom wheelchair finally got approved!!!! It will be here in 4-6 weeks!! It’s our first big kid wheelchair after using a busted hospital chair for so long. Here’s a wheelchair user regressor moodboard!!!

It's not "wasting my spoons" if I'm having a good time and enjoying myself.

GUESS WHO'S BACK BECAUSE FUCK YOU I'M STAYING /affectionate

Enjoy wheelchair whimsy.

My posts and reblogs will remain as reminders of what I overcome.

I will not go down that easy. And I will not stop being nice and compassionate even to my enemies.

*Jams you in the sniffer with love*

HOW ABOUT DAT

Thank you everyone that has been there for me. You seriously are the reason I keep trying because I know there's good out there.

@brightlotusmoon @boyslit you two especially. Thank you for being there for me and dealing me when I was extremely unstable mentally and physically.

I love you amputees with prosthetics covered in stickers. I love you cane and crutch users with colorful and stylized walking aids. I love you wheelchair users with decorative spokes and lights on your wheels. I love you people who wear joint supports or braces with designs on them, whether you bought or commissioned them that way or customized them yourself. I love you people who wear helmets covered in sharpie doodles. I love you mobility aid and adaptive device users who make your equipment your own to truly reflect that it's an extension of yourself. I love disabled joy and whimsy.

in honor of disability pride month & my one year anniversary of becoming a wheelchair user, here's a list of weird and/or unexpected benefits I've encountered of using a wheelchair!

-getting to wear uncomfortable shoes, high heels, shoes that are too small or too big, etc, without pain

-never having to deal with painful thigh chafing

-never having to look for a chair or stand at a benchless bus stop

-being my own shopping cart at the grocery store

-carrying heavy bags no longer hurting my arms & back cause I can just put them on the back of the chair or in my lap

-getting to use underchair bags to sneak things into venues that don't typically allow bags >:)

-underchair bags also make me basically impossible to pickpocket

-i no longer experience height dysphoria cause literally nobody knows how tall i am

-no longer getting hip/thigh dysphoria either cause all sitting down legs kinda look the same

-being always a perfect dog petting height 

-always having a lap available for a kitty

-wrapping myself up in blankets when it gets cold and staying way cozier than my walking friends

-always having a cushion with me if i need one

-never having to walk on hot pavement (only relevant if I'm barefoot but still)

-the list can go on! rb with your own little bits of disabled joy!
