From people who came through it
“I was right where you are a few years back. A prosthetic that rubs. That was my life. Yesterday I booked a holiday.”
brook_cloud73 · been through adjusting to a disability“If you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy. The first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad and my nurse specialist has been more useful than the consultant, if you have one ask for their number, go slowly.”
green_rose · been through adjusting to a disability“Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. Losing sight in one eye, every single day. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. From someone who gets it.”
Tired dad W 55 · been through adjusting to a disability“Hello from the other side of it. I've been there. For me it was in 2023. The worst part was the house needing a ramp and a wet room. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back. Be gentle with yourself.”
