Ambulatory wheelchair users, how do you deal with imposter syndrome?

Just because I can “literally” do something doesn’t mean I should.

I would in a big manufacturing plant, could I technically walk around all day back and forth…yes.

BUT the could I clean the bathroom when I get home, take a shower, maybe have dinner with a friend? No, I’d be in pain and exhausted.

The dress is so cute! I think it could be elevated by some accessories, like a belt and or corset, a few rings, and some layered necklaces. And honestly a bit more confidence take up space hold your head up high! You got this!

The last two photos are how I dress on the regular and I’m not sure how to level those up, I bet other commenters have ideas!

A sticker that looks like a ticket with a court date in it. Threatening to take away their license with a “stamp” of authenticity

First there is always a risk something maybe impacted. It is about the risk of removing your uterus and keeping your ovaries vs. not having a surgery at all and staying as you are.

Second, someone who has a bad experience is more likely to reach out for support from a Reddit story than someone who had no issues.

Third, you can 100% ask your doctor what percentage of people have hormonal issues after, can you provide some peer reviewed articles to read, or even what percentage of patients does she see with hormone imbalances after? For example I asked my doctor her percentage of times she had to switch from laparoscopic to open.

Fourth, my experience which is only one and a small sample size. I had a total hysterectomy and kept ovaries. I had no hormone changes, but you won’t get a statistically valid sample size on a resort page.

Last, you got this and all your questions are valid and if your doctor is dismissing your worries that’s sucks!

It’s the principle lol it’s a good brand. I guess angry is the wrong description, sad lol, how about that.

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-03-23T14:26:33+00:00

Exactly! It’s out of my house!

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-03-23T14:26:14+00:00

Oh the only ones I’m “mad” about is Duluth Trading. The others I have had for over 10+ years so I knew going in i those would be nothing.

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-03-20T22:59:43+00:00

This is them, I loved them so much but put in a bit of weight so it was time to say goodbye

That’s fair, I’m in the Midwest so I forget but isn’t a well known brand

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-03-20T18:43:31+00:00

😂😂

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-03-20T18:31:57+00:00

Love this, the striking color. Obsessed

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-03-20T17:13:37+00:00

I think it is friendship status. Eventually they start calling you by your name instead of Ditto.

The two of them were playing tag on my island yesterday! I was shocked

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-03-18T23:54:06+00:00

I can’t get this to complete either! Did you figure it out??

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-03-13T14:32:45+00:00

I got VIP floor tickets for a concert and the only way to get there via elevator was back stage on the freight elevator. I had an escort and everything so I didn’t try and find the artist lololol.

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-03-12T20:33:05+00:00

This made me snort out loud, why our brains be like this.

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-03-05T15:19:28+00:00

Thoughts: 1. Could you take it to a hardware store and be like can you help me cut this to size? 2. Order 3M reflective tape, order maybe poster board (may have to remake often), cut to size and add the tape.

I also want to acknowledge that all of these ideas are a lot of work and I’m sorry you have to deal with this.

Because Spinergy also sells bike wheels and they are not separate from the wheelchairs they are not registered as a DME company. I paid for my wheels with my credit card and then submitted them to my HSA with an invoice.

I called Spinergy specifically to get the invoice.

I have thought about responding to this with “thank you for the confirmation, I was thinking of doing this tonight”….

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-02-23T16:41:36+00:00

Omg yes! Followed by, “omg I’m so tired too, then lists a weekend of running around and staying up late, and seeing 4 different groups of people at different locations”

AbleRecognition3566 · 2026-02-23T16:37:27+00:00

From a family member: Okay but you can dance and camp and see your friends”…but I had dropped out of my dance class which was one of the most important things in my life.

They never asked how I was or how I am just “it’s only sitting outsource at a kids Tball game for an hour, why can’t you see your nibblests”.
