Fresh fruits and vegetables. When I worked in northern communities it cost a fortune to ship fresh ingredients for the camp kitchen. Bananas ran about a dollar or more each and a 15lb case of broccoli was like $150. Meanwhile, frozen, pre-made junk food were comparably priced for more calories, and sugary snacks were cheap.
Being able-bodied, spent a good chunk of the last week with an ankle brace, a knee brace, and using a splint just to be able to go to my classes.
Having to deal with one kind of arthritis already sucks, but now I have to get looked at for gout too. Which is seems increasingly likely that I do have it. If your body works normally than take 110% advantage of that, because dealing with these conditions fucking sucks. So many places either aren’t designed with disabled people in mind, with disabled people as an afterthought, or with or the infrastructure for disabled people has been left to decay.

I guess you could say any good thing - hot water showers, clean & potable water, being able-bodied, being alive, etc.

Glass windows, sewer and water service to the living area, ac and heat, refrigeration, are all way underated luxuries
