I threw out all my knowledge of proper paneling for comics with this, sorry that its hard to follow.

just another vent I had to get out of my breath, I'll be back to regularly scheduled optimistic bean soon.
Hung out with friends today and I just feel so useless and helpless without being able to do things on my own.

I've been on crutches for 17 days now, with no end in sight on when I'll be off of them. I can't even move around my house much because my 'good' leg is also trying to give out. getting up at all is a danger... its suffering. I might be highly dependent on others but I try hard to do everything myself that's within reason.

my knee give outs cause cartilage damage on top of the strained and painful muscles which is why it takes (usually) a week to heal.

* I wasn't just sitting on my ass the entire time during covid, I was doing VR exercises, walking around the house, a hike w/ tupo, little visits with salem to get takeout/comics at the mall.
Just trying to get myself moving as best I can. It accelerated the injury immensely.

** My gram is vehemently against getting any sort of pool for our house between cost and the effort to keep it up since I am a very disabled person with pretty severe, constant fatigue.
