if you need a mobility aid and no doctor will believe you, you are valid and you deserve support. if you fantasize about having a mobility aid that would ease your pain, you are valid and you deserve support. if you don’t have access to adequate medical care and you’re trying a mobility aid to see if it helps, you are valid and you deserve support. if the people around you insist that you must be faking, you are valid and you deserve support. if people ask you questions about your condition and your mobility aids that you don’t have answers for, you are still valid and you still deserve support.
not everyone has the privilege of a competent and compassionate care team to oversee their use of a mobility aid, and they have just as much right to do what they believe is best for their body even if it is under less than ideal circumstances. your body is your body is your body and no one but you gets to decide what you do with it.
