Welcome and Thank you for joining us. We are not doctors and we do not give medical advice. We DO share our personal experiences good and bad and what has worked for us.
Our main topic of discussion this week is mobility aids. It's a hot topic and often a rough one with generational challenges of who, when, & why people should use them.
Trigger Warning: we do talk about depression and mention suicidal ideation along with giving specifics to our weight as it relates to some mobility aids.

Last week I mentioned the Body Braid and shared the video that helps me get the most support out of my braid. I forgot to share a link to purchase the Body Braid, so let me correct that here: https://bodybraid.com/pages/products

Giving credit where credit is due: Christine Miserandino revolutionized the chronic illness community by sharing her Spoon Theory with the world on her blog: https://butyoudontlooksick.com Because of her contribution, those suffering with chronic illness are often referred to as "Spoonies" and we often refer to energy stored and expended in units of spoons.
