msER's if I, "you" can not, do not, or won't laugh at ourselves, how can we ever expect others to be at lease with us?
I used to have great fun chanting "lowered expectations" as I rode my 3 wheel mobility scooter down the street. I thought it was funny. Took a while for others to understand. Still, get really horrified looks in the grocery store, but it of all fun.
This is a serious illness, the pain is sometimes real, the embarrassment is degrading and humiliating, but if I and "you" do not shrug our shoulders and say whatever, what are we doing to ourselves?
Make everything an opportunity to show yourself strength, not weakness. Build that "can do" attitude, surround yourself with strength. Look in that mirror and say I am doing this.
Always and every day remember. I am doing this, and I am going to do it the best that I "CAN" because I am me. I am not weak or broken just a little bent at an odd angle.

My angle is very odd and I am proud of it
