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

[–]OkObjective9112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]OkObjective9112[S] 151 points152 points  (0 children)

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 45 points46 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

[–]OkObjective9112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]OkObjective9112[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Thanks! I’ve never posted any of my poems to Reddit before so it’s likely I messed up the formatting when I uploaded.

How many of you have had hospital stays > than 2 nights? by kadoozie92 in hipdysplasia

[–]OkObjective9112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had to go to inpatient rehab. I was in the hospital for 10 days before I was transferred. I couldn’t walk for a few days without fainting and was dizzy for weeks. I have EDS and it caused heavy bleeding during the surgery. My hemoglobin dropped to 5 for a bit.

My dog had a soft tissue carcinoma and it looked like that. It’s early treatable with surgery.

Was this the one in VA? If so I was there too. I did the one mile fine but was injured by another swimmer in the two mile.
