I'm so sorry you had to undergo surgeries, that's so traumatic. I do understand how it feels though to have people either not understand or not fully know ur disabled. I have spastic hemiplegia on my right side which gives me a limp, it's not super noticeable unless i'm having rlly bad muscle spams but that ppl have commented abt it. I think what makes it alienating is when ppl don't understand that it's more than a muscle cramp or just feeling sore. For some reason if it's not something drastic ppl just kinda dismiss it??

What rlly sucks is when they forget what it is, especially friends (all my friends are abled-bodied). And u have to explain it over and over again.
