When “no new findings” is what you want to hear 🥰
Thankful for the all-clear from the neuro-ophthalmologist! No more bullshit body behavior to add to my plate from that angle, at least. #chronicillness #doesthiscountasawin #HEDS #EDS #ehlersdanlos

I don’t want Greenland, I want healthcare.

When your dosage increase finally shows promise … #chronicillness #eds #dynamicdisability

#Disability is so frustrating.

I’ve been sick my whole life. I never expected to “get better.”

But I didn’t expect to get worse so quickly.

How did I go from briefly carrying 50lbs again to a heart rate of 171 carrying an empty cardboard box fifteen feet?

I couldn’t get there again today, but one day I will!

#ChronicIllness means finding creative ways to feed your #chickens

I divided the feed bag and carried the pellets in batches 💪

Sure it took longer than asking for help, but heck yeah independence!

(That counts for today’s workout, right? 🤣)

I have a Pete, too, but in a mini schnauzer version. Love it!

A friend said a very gentle version of this to me and it helped me change my framing SO MUCH.

Stop holding yourself to the standards of someone with a healthy body.

Thank you 💔

My elderly neighbor sprayed my native muscadine grapevine that was here when we moved in and I’m devastated. It was growing so well this year.

We had amazing fresh fruit and jam from it last year, and I learned so much about grape care from it.

Guys it’s Space Runaway Ideon by our Gundam lord and master Tomino …

Also happy Pride ~

if you can't handle me at my worst, imagine how I feel [opossum in a tree]

It was just for a brief moment, but I was able to lift 50lbs today!

It’s taken me around a year of physical therapy, both in office and on my own, but I’m so happy to see my hard work show. 🥰

Vintage flatbed knitting machines, were made in Japan, Germany, Switzerland, and China. Brother/Japanese machine dupes are made in China now, so getting parts is possible.

My supplier should have new #tariff pricing figured in a week or so…

Contemporary domestic flatbed #KnittingMachines (SilverReed) and parts are made in China.

I know #machineknitting is niche of niche, but I’m not sure trying to relaunch after my health setbacks is even worth it. 🧶
