| Got braces? |
It takes while to get ready to leave the house. People get impatient waiting for me to "strap up". I never know which of them I'll need, it's often all of them. Because I need them sometimes and not others some people assume that I don't really need them at all. Why on earth would someone walk around with all this stuff on if they didn't need to? They're not always comfortable, some of the wrist braces bruise my knuckles if I'm not careful. When the options are bruised knuckles or not being able to use your hand it isn't much of a choice, though.
It's frustrating for me as well. I'd like to be able to just up and go. Sometimes I convince myself that I'm ok and don't need them and then I'm out and a knee goes out or something and suddenly anything but sitting becomes extremely difficult. Even sitting too much causes pain issues, so there really is no winning in this situation. I keep pushing myself because as much as it hurts to push to do things I know that if I stop I'll lose the ability to do them at all. I know I'm lucky to an extent, that I can still go do physical things that I enjoy even if it takes extra support. Some day I won't be able to anymore, and I dread that day. I do everything I can to keep from getting to that point.
