As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:

“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

    Oof, ankles are a mess. You always gotta give stuff time to heal. But that doesn’t help you now. Depending on what kind of damage you have (I’m assuming you sprained it?) a couple of months of healing isn’t too unrealistic for full healing. Especially if you sprained one or both of the tibiofibular ligaments or fucked up the deltoid ligament a lot. Don’t give up hope and look up some ankle exercises that match your injury.

      ty I was never all that agile before this but it’s just a pain whenever a shooting pain comes up like say I’m moving lumber or trying to do some exercise like cardio. feeling my limitations is making me realize how much I took for granted

        I get it. We all take the parts of our bodies that work for granted all the time. Whether it be functional senses like sight or hearing or not being in pain. And any kind of change there is distressing. That shit sucks.
