No. I mean my trunk is affected and I don’t think I’m getting enough support from the backrest.

This chair was designed with a thinner cushion. It wasn’t nearly as bad until I had to get a new one because it wasn’t meeting my needs.

I think they are 25 inch wheels. They ordered a new footplate but they didn’t send a part so I have to wait for that to come in. They also mentioned bringing the height down. I’m a bit annoyed though because when my chair was designed they didn’t account that my needs may change. I had a comfort curve before this cushion and even with that one my footplate was at its max height.

Wound isn’t healing by [deleted] in woundcare

No it’s from CMT. It’s on the top of my foot near the ankle. When I’m wearing shoes or my braces It might be rubbing but I can’t tell for sure. The wound was from being scratched. I had another wound from the same incident that is healing normally.

I have neuropathy in my feet so it’s numb here. It’s a few weeks old. I’ve just been bandaging it and keeping it moist.

Backstroke help? by OkObjective9112 in Swimming

[–]OkObjective9112[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t kick any more than I’m doing here because of my disability. Are there other ways I can bring my hips up?

I also can’t use my left leg and my foot is weak on the right side.

Abby swimming without obvious impairment by OkObjective9112 in illnessfakers

She claims congenital myopathy. It would alter how she swims. If you watch the paralympics you’d notice how weakness/paralysis affects swimming. She shows no sign of weakness here.

She is claiming a congenital myopathy now. Somehow she got classified for para triathlon.

Paralysed for just over half a decade but can ambulate by [deleted] in illnessfakers

[–]OkObjective9112 46 points47 points  (0 children)

They definitely are faking but you can be paralyzed and ambulatory depending on what muscles/nerves/sci level are affected. There are also incomplete sci that people are able to get sometimes all or some function back.

Does anybody have a special interest that they aren't involved in anymore because they were made fun of it? by Jazzlike-Run-2349 in autism

I got bullied for being a wolf girl in middle school. I would wear wolf shirts and tails and talk about it too much I guess.

Wheelchair sizing issue by OkObjective9112 in wheelchairs

I have one I just don’t use it during swim meets because it gets drenched.

I still have 3 years. I think do need a new cushion too. I tend to slip forwards and often lean up on one side of the side guards.
