Weekly Check In Sept 12 - 18
[A caracal cat moves its ears in this gif]
Sometimes with disability we feel like we lack something, but often times we also have quirky abilities not everyone can do or a 'superpower'. Maybe you can wiggle your ears around really well, or have super smelling. Share yours here!
How are you doing this week?

@AffyAvo I don't have any powers🤔🤔 I'm half paralysed so movement is limited. But what I struggle with most is the chronic pain. And the thought that one day, I'll more than likely gonna become completely paralysed😞 that scares me
I have the "ability" to hear high-pitched ringing (especially in my right ear) in every waking moment. Wouldn't call this a superpower, though...
@slowdecline48 Yeah, probably only a super-power if you find it enjoyable.
No one does, Affy. It's tinnitus. In my case it is one of the symptoms of Meniere's.
That's my main qualification for being in the Disabled Support subcommunity... 😒 Dunno if it qualifies as an achievement.
@slowdecline48 hugs slow ❤❤❤ that must be a hard disability😞 I'm in constant pain physically, so hearing high pitched noise all the time must be just as draining. Gives you a giant tiny hug
My week is so so and right now i dont need much help
I have extremely good hearing so I'm good with music. I'm good with art when my medical health allows.
I'd like the dentist to take out my rotten teeth stop passing me on to someone else and stop whining about the risk.
@AutiBoy That's awesome that you use your excellent hearing for music, and cool that you're good at art.
I wish more dentists were trained with riskier situations and willing to deal with the risks. I hope you are able to find someone to treat you!
My quirky ability is voluntary "nystagmus". I used the quotes as nystagmus is a real condition where people experience rapid, repetitive uncontrolled eye movements.
When I do it, it only occurs when I choose to do it.
@AffyAvo You have that too, eh? It must be interesting to be able to run your nystagmus at will. Mine comes whenever I'm having a flareup of the condition mentioned previously.
