#sick4sick

i’m thinking about sick4sick friendships i’m thinking about keeping spare meds in my bag to share with my buddies. my partner offering me their cane when i can’t smuggle my own out the house.

im thinking about sick4sick with strangers. sharing advice. the grin when you have the same canes. complimenting cool mobility aids.

i’m thinking about hand me down knee braces and joint straps my dad gives to me. passing them on like heirlooms.

im thinking about the solidarity in pain and how beautiful it can be

edit: hello everyone enjoying this post i made a longer version on my blog if u wanna check it out :o)

I've always been immune to when ableist movies and plays have a character use a cane to signal that they're meant to be unattractive but I was further inoculated against it in my teens when I had my mind blasted open by the first two lines of Torrin A Greathouse's poem Sick4Sick

To date, I've never actually dated anyone who wasn't disabled but this was the first time I'd ever seen someone display disabled4disabled attraction so unapologetically.

crip4crip is so good. theres something so raw and tender abt crip4crip love. ill rub your shoulder while u seize and hold ur hands while u recover. youll help encourage me to stretch so my spine doesnt fuse. ill help you walk when you need it and youll do the same for me. we are one and the same, our bodies intertwined, there is no way to tell us apart. you know what makes my head twitch and i know when to shut the blinds and hold you close.

theres nothing else quite like crippled love

i have to eat low-fodmap and it's obviously stressful to change (and I'm finishing off my open, higher FODMAP foods so they don't go to waste) but @masonmczero makes things so much easier. He came with me to a natural food store and helped me look for groceries that will work for me and he also has offered to help cook low-fodmap recipes and is excited to learn more things. sick4sick love is incredible
