Comments on: Stroke Me Day 40: Like Oscar the Grouch https://iwilldare.com/2023/04/stroke-me-day-40-like-oscar-the-grouch/ A little bit of heaven & A whole lot of hell Sun, 16 Apr 2023 13:48:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: theluckynun https://iwilldare.com/2023/04/stroke-me-day-40-like-oscar-the-grouch/#comment-77871 Sun, 16 Apr 2023 13:48:09 +0000 https://iwilldare.com/?p=383376#comment-77871 Thank you for talking about this. Nobody listens to women, and it kills. Also, it’s disgusting how weight/size is this useless, arbitrary metric that somehow gets to define one’s value and worth to the rest of the world. Your feelings about these experiences are valid. Glad you’re still here and still fighting.

“our issues are in our tissues”…oof. I’m going to be thinking about that for a while.

I’m so sorry you have to sit in this intersection of current injury and past trauma. As hard as it was, I’m glad you were able to voice that experience to your PT – as they say, “our issues are in our tissues”. Of course that pain would come up during the work you’re doing in PT. It’s not separate, you know? And it’s important for providers to listen in order to give good care. I’m so sorry for all of this and I’m so glad you’re still in the world. And I’m grateful that you shared this piece. Sending thoughts of healing and gratitude for your courage. Feel better, Jodi. You deserve to feel better.
