Instagram vs. Reality:
Last week my mom and I went to the park to try out my new wheelchair! It went so well. I got home and when she was taking out the trash, I fell. It’s so unpredictable. I was next to my rollator but when I took a step to the right to go to my chair, my leg just didn’t work and I was down. There’s no reaction time to catch myself. I got some rug burns and am sore, still getting my energy back, but I’m okay!! Nothing is broken, which is always good news after a fall. I was also thankful this happened in my condo on the carpet, instead of at the park on the concrete. I’ll take that as a win.
Sharing because this is the daily struggle when living with a disorder. You can do everything rights, but the rest is out of your control. Gotta keep getting up and moving forward. Not going to let the hard days win. 💪
