There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled”
Disability is dynamic
Some disabilities are invisible. Some change day to day
You won’t always know a person is disabled unless they tell you
It’s a minority group you can join at any time, not a moral failing.

Being a woman in your 40s: is it perimenopause? unexpected pregnancy? or a secret third* thing?
It's a secret third thing. 🙃
And because it's women's health, there is not a lot of research.

I really interpreted “you should be able to drive after 4 days” as meaning I would be 100% well after 4 days.
Tbh I think I underestimated recovery time I’d need post surgery. 🥴
