I have been struggling for awhile. My wheelchair broke, health drama, dealing with a nasty breakup with an emotionally abusive partner (who lives upstairs on the second floor from me), and I have been waiting to move to a wheelchair accessible apartment for a year. The last 2 weeks have been especially hard.
My landlord called me this morning and told me my new apartment had passed inspection. And from then on today was good news after good news. I just found out that the move is happening on Wednesday! I’ve been a wheelchair user since my accident in 2015 and I have never had an accessible apartment. My current place I can’t even get my wheelchair in the bathroom.
I think I’m still in shock that this is finally happening. I know this isn’t specifically incontinence related but I just wanted to say things may be challenging and feel like nothing is gonna change. I’ve been incontinent since my accident in 2015. My health is completely different then and not for the better. Just a couple of days ago I felt stuck and overwhelmed. Incontinence isn’t a death sentence. Sure I’d rather not have a tube coming out of my belly and have difficulty with bowel functions. But it doesn’t mean that it has to ruin your life. It is a problem we deal with it’s not us.
Just wanted to share with folks a little update and to just keep pushing forward. Life throws us punches but it doesn’t last forever
