Whenever I read your posts, I can’t believe how much I can relate to you. I have a cane too and feel shame about it. I also had to ride a scooter around at Disneyland because there was no way that I could walk all day. I put it off too but when I was really forced to use my cane during a bad relapse when my proprioception was awful, it helped tremendously. Also, at Disneyland, I started the first day walking, the scooter was in the hotel room…that shame thing. I felt awful and there was no way that I could go the next day without the scooter. I brought it out and felt so much shame, it didn’t last long though. Before I knew it, I was enjoying myself so much more because I felt better. Aids are there to help us get through life easier, once we can get over the shame of needing them (which we really shouldn’t have) they can open the world up for us a bit more.
Shame?!? Never ever feel shame, dear Bailey! The use of a mobility aid just shows me your dedication to live! As far as fashion, anything you wear or don't wear is irrelevant to your astronomical level of beauty! I especially love your comfy "Metalica" t-shirt. ☺️ Please don't hide from us...from me... even when you don't feel beautiful, or in control, or even complete, it doesn't matter to me love. I accept you in whatever way, shape, or condition you're currently in. The woman I fell in love with has a beautiful old soul, something deep inside that, to me, trumps all other things. Never hide Bailey, that would be a genuine loss to the world. 🙏🥰
