Seeeending all my love, Gia! Totally not on the same level at all: but I fucked my knee up twice in a row, and I meant I could not do any of my normal sporting, running, moving, walking, busy activities I usually fill my time with, and I had to just SIT. It was weird, and always feels WRONG, but we must ignore the internalised capitalism and give our body rest when it needs it.
Thank you, thank you, my love!! Oh, so true! We feel we're not worth anything unless we're producing something. This speaks to the inherent value of life and how being a "productive" citizen is part of the leverage used against people with disabilities. And as you've experienced, the only solution is to stop and rest, to let the body do its own magic. Such an important lesson to fight those internalized tapes.
