Before I got sick, I asked my mother if her backaches had gotten better. She had to explain that her backaches would never get better. They’d just get more or less painful some days.

After I got sick, my mother said she thought I had gotten better. I had to explain that I would never get better. I’d just have fewer symptoms for a while.

Being wrong about disability isn’t exclusive to abled people. I think a lot of stuff is like that.
