Gimpy Girl GimpyGirl.com is a glimpse of a somewhat quirky, mobility challenged chronic pain warrior with a few invisible illnesses thrown in to keep it interesting.

Having entered the world able-bodied and now living as someone with chronic pain and mobility issues, I’ve gotten a keen sense of some imbalances in the world. The challenges faced. The opinions formed and the opportunities available to those who are different. Sometimes it’s frustrating. Oftentimes it’s enlightening. It’s been an interesting ride in this chair. I am frequently reminded that much of this has been a precious gift. A reminder to slow down. To be present. And to love freely and laugh often. What I have learned about people, about life, about determination and about kindness is invaluable. I hope I can share it with you.

Sorry Joe. I’ve had just about enough of your skating through issues you know nothing about. Do you make any decisions based on fact? One does not take opioids legally for “just a little “ pain.

I walk through the doors behind the front desk of the pain clinic to room number four, the white-walled, two-chaired, one-tabled examination room that looks identical to the room I was in the last time I was here.
