Ranting about a walker
a year ago
Welp, my request for a walker was denied after the lady watched me walk to the grocery store once on a good day with my cane and I told her getting the walker now was for preventional purposes, to get used to it BEFORE things gets worse.
Granted I just spent the last two days crippled in bed for no reason, but what do I know.
Really is on me for hyping myself up, thinking a good positive vibe at the meeting meant a positive outcome for my request. I really don’t have the money to invest in a walker on my own right now, turns out disability pension dun pay that much and you don’t exactly have much options for a pay raise. Still got bills and rent to use it on first.
And I only do voluntary work cuz anything that pays require a schedule I can’t promise to stick to, with how unstable my health is.
All I can do is do my best with commissions but I tend to spend my PP money on donations and charity instead of a second income.
Just venting, I still got it relatively well compared to a lot of other people in my situation. I still live in a country with free healthcare that ensures I got a comfortable living situation.
A walker was the only other thing I’ve ever requested from the state to help with my condition, besides rent support. I can still request again should I feel my condition has changed enough to warrant for better better evidence second time around.. but again, the point was to obtain a secondary tool for support BEFORE things get that much worse..
Because if I have to push myself that far first that it’ll be ‘visibly acceptable’… it gonna hurt. Reall’ bad, and I don’t like that. That’s why I asked for the walker NOW! To prevent that!
Urgh, just ranting.

Honestly that's a pretty fucking reasonable thing to rant about.
