I Can Haz Spring? Kthnxbai

Howdy Y'all! 

Sorry I haven't been posting this week. Ya see, had I posted everyday it would have sounded something like this...

"Hey guys,

Hope y'all are having an awesome day. Crippie is certainly trying to have an awesome day but the weather is making that really freaking difficult. All of the pressure changes and precipitation have made for a very pain filled day. My (Insert either: ribs, hand, wrist, arm, leg, hip or back depending on the day) was killing me today. As always I curled up with my BFF Glenn the heat pack as soon as I got home."

I'm used to being slightly incapacitated by the occasional weather shift, but these constant weather changes are killing me. I swear I don't remember the last time it was this bad. Weeks of constant barometric pressure changes... eff you mother nature... eff you. 

Presently my hip is being a bitch, yesterday it was my ribs, the day before my wrist. I'm trying to predict what will hurt me tomorrow since I'm already feeling the shifts for Friday's "blizzard". I've got my wrist brace and my rib brace ready to go, let's hope I don't need 'em. On the bright side, I don't think I have to work on Friday, so I can spend the day at home with Glenn the heat pack. 

These days I've honestly been too damn uncomfortable to do much of anything. All of my energy spoons are spent tolerating pain at work. Blaaaaah, all I can say is that the damn groundhog had better be freakin' right about an early Spring, cause I've had enough of winter. 

To make up for this mildly depressing post... here's some talking animals. I was almost crying from laughter when I saw this... who am I kidding... I was crying from laughter when I saw this! 

Crippie's Tippie - When in doubt, talking animals will always make you feel better

The Internet & Disability

Sup!
This is my post for "Blogging Against Disablism Day 2011"


As promised here I would make an entry about how the internet is one of the greatest advances for the disabled community. The internet has many benefits for the disabled community.
-Easy it is to access and share information about your disability. I'm a member of support groups for my disability and I get a wealth of information on how to manage my disability from there.
-Easier means for scientists and researchers to contact people to make medical advances. I've met several researchers working on curing my disease and I've donated some of my removed tumors to science.
-Social aspects, I get to talk to people when I'm normally too weak or in too much pain to leave the house.
-DISTRACTIONS, when I'm in pain there's no better cure than some LOLcats and a stupid YouTube video.
-The internet brings the world to my fingertips when I would not normally be able to excess it.
Here's an article on how the internet impacts people with disabilities.

Crippie's Tippie- "Charlie The Unicorn" is the best video on YouTube... ever. I know this isn't much of a tip, but people need to know these things.
Crippie's Actual Tippie- To all of my fellow cripples, we cannot and we will not let our disabilities get the best of us. Sure, our lives will be more challenging but there is no way in hell that I am going to let my disability stop me from doing what I have to do.
