These temperature swings are awful on my joints. Cuddling up with an ice pack AND a heating pad! 😓 #NEISvoid #DisabledLife #SpineInjury #MeningealCyst #Sciatica #JointPain #RheumatoidArthritis

When people see me using my mobility aids and say “feel better soon!” I want to scream back “I won’t!”. It’s chronic pain, spine injury, and a permanent invisible dynamic disability. #MeningelCyst #PartialParalysis #SpineInjury #ChronicPain 1/

Them: “Can you go up the stairs?” Me: *wondering how many and how far* “um…” Them: “well that’s the only option, anyway.” Me: 😐 “…ok then.” #WheelchairUser #Europe #Disability #DisabledLife #SpineInjury #PartialParalysis
Them: *notices my wheelchair* “Get better!” Me: “I won’t! This is my life now.” #SpineInjury #RareDisease #MeningealCyst #TarlovCyst #Disabled #NEISvoid #WheelchairUser
People really think you only need a wheelchair if you’re 100% paralyzed. Partial paralysis and dynamic disability are things! 🤨🥲 #Disabled #WheelchairUser #MeningealCyst #TarlovCyst #SpineInjury #RareDisease

It's VERY brief because I have to catch myself from falling 🙃

Physical therapy is currently giving me life. It’s my reason for getting out of bed and taking my meds in the morning. #hEDS #MeningealCyst #SpineInjury #Neurosurgery
Chairs are too tall. I can’t out my feet flat on the floor and that hurts me. #ChronicPain #BackProblems #SpineInjury

The delicate white petals of a hyacinth on the right bloom side by side with the soft pale pink of another hyacinth on the left. On vibrant green stalks they rise from a bed of weathered brown wood bark mulch, their delicate forms juxtaposed with the backdrop of aged, rustic tin.
Vermont is experiencing the lovely awakening of spring, w/my flower beds showing the fruits of last fall's labor (a time I usually cherish), but this year I'm physically unable to enjoy it. Even sitting through a brief lunch w/a friend is agonizing. Gardening is out of the question. #spineinjury
Well, it snowed a little last night. Covered the sidewalk... and the hill i have to walk up to get to my car.
That's always fun when you have a brace and cane. 😑 They probably won't come salt either.
Wish me luck. I have to get groceries...
