I know this looks unappetizing but for me this is a big deal. Since I developed a repetitive strain injury in 2014 I’ve mostly given up doing a lot of cooking at home - or any at all. I genuinely rely on my fiancée, my roommates, or prepackaged stuff for food a lot of the time because the physical actions of cooking were painful or scary because I thought I’d hurt myself again and be unable to work but not have it covered by WCB.
I’ve had permanent full time work since May 2018 and it’s only now that I’m starting to feel like I can stop acting as though I am still working 7 days a week, constantly tense, constantly terrified I’ll lose my ability to work again (but viewing my loss of ability to cook, clean, and engage in hobbies as worth it so that I can perform my duties at work). We’ll see what happens. I’m never going to be pre-2014 Ginny but I can still be Ginny. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_Q3uLhCB0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16h53a01fv2z8
