#invisibledisabilities — Public Fediverse posts

Well, figured out what's going on with my neck/shoulder/arm. I've been diagnosed as being in the early stages of frozen shoulder. Apparently, menopausal folks are more prone to it for unknown reasons. Yay?

So I have about a year and a half until this issue goes away, and it will get worse before it gets better. The good news is that when that awful pain happens, I'm not causing myself damage. Apparently, a cortisone shot early on will help prevent some of that pain. So will continuing to exercise regularly, although I will have to avoid exercises which bring on the pain (which is sudden and intense). Massages will also help, because the surrounding muscles will lock up from that pain.

Looks like I have a rocky road ahead of me.

"With Gentle Affect - Surviving Trauma"

Written with gentle affect and love for all:
Words can be a powerful thing. Sometimes we may say something unintentionally that can open the wounds of another. The range of emotion conjured, may sometimes be manifest in response. Sometimes it's an acquired instinct.

In a world that has become so full of hate, there are many that have survived great trauma. Words that may seem innocent, can be like thrusting the sharpest of double-edged swords, slashing open the heart's healing scars. Sometimes, if one pokes the hive, the bee is likely to sting out of instinctual self-preservation. It's important to be mindful of others we encounter. Only they may know know the shadows that haunt within them.

Being an advocate is not an easy task. You're basically telling people what they may do is not right but, without advocacy, where does #change lie? Taking the brunt and standing firm for others that may not have the strength? If one day it may help to prevent others with invisible disabilities from being subjected, how can I remain silent.

With that said, the last time I checked, I'm human too. I have a brain, a heart and everything. I also don't harbor bitterness or resentment... It messes up the atmosphere inside.[]

"If one breaks one's leg, they may have trouble walking, patience and understanding is key. The same is true for the brain": @OutOfExile_IDR

Today's installment was going to be about the brain and spelling. There's link to an interesting article below. I always welcome kind correction and thoughtful constructive feedback.

Don't Foster misconceptions.
