#hemiplegia

[nightmaretour]

Constantly reminded that even a lot of disabled people don't trust people with brain damage to think for ourselves and hold opinions, let alone abled people. Constantly reminded that even the most otherwise progressive people often think that it would be better if I had died and will happily tell me that. Constantly reminded that being visible both online and offline as someone with noticeable brain damage is a sure way to get myself dehumanised or worse. Well fuck you I'm doing it anyway

(This is about physical brain damage, including ABIs. No your autism/ADHD/PTSD/depression/etc. is not brain damage. Non-brain damaged people can reblog but don't add anything.)

Shoutout to paralyzed people. Those with complete paralysis, incomplete paralysis; Those whose paralysis was caused from accidents, brain injuries, strokes, spinal cord injuries, neurological illnesses; Those with paraplegia, quadriplegia, hemiplegia, tetraplegia. Who were born paralyzed or became paralyzed later in life.

Those who have a carer, those who use a wheelchair full-time, those who use crutches or canes and those whose mobility aid is a hospital bed. Those with incontinence, who wear adult diapers, ostomy bags and catheters. You are not "lesser" for needing care or not being able to live independently. You deserve to live a comfortable life with autonomy and dignity.

We rock. We're fucking amazing. I love you.

I love when people ask about my disability in a respectful way./srs

A girl politely asked me how I would use the stairs if I was at a friend’s house instead of accusing me of faking my disability when I go down three steps.

Context: I have hemiplegia affected my left side from a stroke and cerebral palsy. I use the elevator at my school because otherwise I’d need to go up a steep flight of stairs that would take me a lot of time and a lot of energy. I’m too slow in comparison to other students and would likely end up being pushed and shoved. I can use smaller, thinner stair flights depending on the day.

[CW: Medical situation]

"I don't feel anything, I can't move my arm nor feel anything, I don't care that I can't move my leg, I couldn't walk anyways!"

They wrote down we were "pessimistic" and "like to be sick",

Yet no one thought for a second why (such) a young person was so numbed by losing all ability to walk or move. Why someone was okay to losing more ability because even if the acute problem at hand went away they are so disabled they didn't had much ability to begin with.

But yeah, sure, we don't want help, we love being sick /s /very neg

Tips for getting dressed and doing chores with hemiplegia??? Please?

[birdofmay]

Very often people say that ambidextrous people are actually just lefties who were forced to use their right hand.

Meanwhile my hemiparetic (right side) ass is sitting here like "Am I a joke to you?" 😂

My right side may be weak, which is why I often use my left hand/arm for things that need muscle strength, but I automatically started writing with my right hand when I learned how to write 😅
