Fuck being 24 and having to wear a legbag just so I can go out with friends to the bars that only occasionally ever have a bathroom I can actually get into. Fuck having to answer questions about “how it works” to girls. Fuck waking up in a pile of beer shits cause something I ate yesterday decided not to agree with me. Fuck people standing in the way and then having the audacity to tell me off when I nudged his shoulder asking him to move. FMySCI.

i hate that nothing’s accessible in my $#@@# country… not even my mom’s house so i can’t go up there unless i walk… and i can’t do that right now… can’t wear my freaking leg without hurting myself even more… even the sports association for the disabled here (they call themself “Challenges”) don’t know crap about accessibility. oh yea, FMySCI and my AKA.

I hate transfering in and out of the car… it so routine but takes forever! Wish I could walk again, it sucks rolling around. FMySCI.

I am soaking wet because some fat woman on a scooter with a temporary handicapped parking placard took the last handicapped spot at Target and we had a huge thunderstorm blow in while I was getting into my chair! I realize its difficult to walk because of your weight but that is probably part of your problem, I cant walk! So I got to freeze while I shopped in my wet clothes, I didn’t realize I was going to be in a wet t shirt contest or I would have worn a bra…FMySCI

I hate that my balance sucks and I do a great weeble impression. I hate the effort it takes to get back into my chair when I fall out. I hate the humiliation. I hate the pain, the feeling of a thousand electric shocks just as I am about to drop off to sleep. I hate that I haven’t had a good nights sleep for over 2 years. I hate that I can’t be spontaneous, everything I do must planned. I hate forward planning. I hate how much disability costs. I hate the pitying looks I get from people, the stares, the questions. I hate that I can no longer do the job I loved. I hate my bladder & my bowels, the time and effort spent on making sure they behave. I hate the frustration, that I still burst into tears over “stupid” things. FMySCI.

FMySCI…. I just want to be able to jump in my car and go…….. without having to rely on anyone else. Just a walk in the woods or to my favorite fishing hole.

My Nana died and travelling with a SCI is so complicated that I won’t be going to her funeral. Besides the only places I’d be able to go is the funeral because all my aunts houses etc. are inaccessible. FMySCI.

I’m tired of my parents referring to me like I have a disease. My sisters never visit, because it’s torture for them to help me get into my chair. I’m sick of everyone saying I’m bitchy/picky/needy cuz’ I like things done a certain way. Pain. Every minute of every day, the pain never goes away. FMySCI.

I’m not living like this anymore. Started school, started therapy, started looking for a job… FMySCI!!!

Don’t let the turkeys get you down!!!
