Shantell Powell<p>I went to the gym for upper body day. My bad shoulder side is so weak compared to the other side, but I was able to move it in ways that I couldn't a few weeks ago. Maybe I'll be working on pull-ups by the end of the year. Hope so! I want that strength and mobility back. <a href="https://c.im/tags/AdhesiveCapsulitis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AdhesiveCapsulitis</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FrozenShoulder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FrozenShoulder</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/InvisibleDisability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InvisibleDisability</span></a></p>
Ronja<p>It's Disability Pride Month, but honestly—I'm angry. </p><p>I use the elevator due to Long Covid, and I still get comments like "Just one floor? Take the stairs."

Shantell Powell<p>My frozen shoulder limits my wardrobe choices. Last night, I went shopping for sundresses I can get in and out of without help. I wore my respirator into the busy store and took an armload of cotton dresses into the change room. I pulled one dress on, and the anti theft tag got caught on my respirator strap. I was physically unable to disentangle it because of my gimpy shoulder. </p><p>I pulled the dress back off and it was still stuck. I tried as best as I could to disentangle it with my one good arm, and finally it broke one of the straps on my mask. But at least I had the dress off. </p><p>I adjusted the remaining strap as best as I could to hold the mask snug to my face. It wasn't a perfect seal, but it was better than no mask at all. </p><p>Then I had to get back into my own clothes. By this point, I was so fatigued from my battle with the anti theft tag that I had a hard time zipping up my front-closing dress. My hand was trembling so much it was difficult to grip the zipper tog. It took me a few tries to get my dress back on properly. </p><p>Oy. Getting old is some serious bullshit.
