"CP" can mean "Crazy Person", but don't blame me.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Text reads: Doctor fills out disability form and circles the 1 in every category, including ability to walk one city block. 1 refers to the least amount of pain possible, as described on a scale of 1-4, Couldn’t walk the one block back from the doctor’s. ]
I mean, really? I had just finished telling her I was having a hard time holding objects, bending over, standing, sitting, lying down, sleeping, eating and not getting depressed over this whole my-fibro-went-out-of-remission thing, and she writes a bunch of ones on my disability form. There is no chance I will be accepted on my first attempt and will have to take my case to court.
I was so upset, I stopped on my limp home and picked up some junk food. The issue is that junk food plus a fibro attack is just possibly the worst thing ever. Isn’t stopping me from eating cookies and chips while writing this.
End rant.

This. Replace “fibro” with “OA” and it’s me.
