It’s better to laugh instead of cry

I always try to have a good sense of humor about things. Being upset does absolutely nothing to help anything or anyone. The alternative is people thinking that you’re crazy when you laugh at stupid things but I don’t care because most people already know that I am 😂

An example: my friend made me food and saw me trying to put a piece of egg on toast. It fell and I just laughed at myself. I didn’t know that he was watching and he said he would’ve thrown his food against the wall. I said, what you didn’t see was that was like the fourth time it happened 😂😂
As you can imagine, my food is usually cold.

That’s an all day occurrence for me. I seriously give people, in these circumstances, so much credit! It’s so much harder than most think.
The misconception, in some heads, is that people in wheelchairs sit around and do nothing. Some might but definitely not all. Not me.
I know it takes me at least twice the time (sometimes longer) to do every day things and is severely frustrating! I especially love filling ice trays, vacuuming, mopping, changing my sheets, etc….
I have nerve damage so to understand how it affects my coordination, it kinda feels like trying to pick up a piece of cotton with a plastic straw in a pool of water.
It’s like an episode of the three stooges here quite often. You should see me change my sheets 😂😂

I challenge anyone to try spending a few hours strapped to any chair with wheels & do some household chores. If anyone is tough enough to try it, I’d love to hear about it!
It’s the equivalent to the saying “walk a mile in my shoes”

When I’m sick or hurt, I don’t have someone here to take care of me. I certainly have days when I don’t want to do anything but I have to.
I don’t have an aide or anything so I do everything it takes to run a household and I’m under a lot scrutiny from several officials making sure that I still can. Imagine being constantly monitored?

Between being so institutionalized, cameras everywhere and under constant scrutiny, I always feel like I’m being watched.
I was thinking about that and all the drs, tests, hospitals, therapy’s, etc….some think a lot of people’s inappropriate behavior is because that person might be Ill or something but usually it’s just because after all that, you just become so desensitized. But some people are just a bit off haha
