#365dayswithdisability

This is what life with #migraine is like. 39 days of 2018 so far. I have had #migraines 25 of those days. One of the reasons I began and continue to photograph myself is so I will deal with the reality of having #chronicmigraine.

Every single day Image description: White text on a black background reads, "Body acceptance goes beyond being comfortable with what you see in the mirror; it means acknowledging your body exactly as it is, allowing yourself to take up space, and refusing to apologize for your needs, or your existence. Every day I'm learning, a little bit better, how to stop apologizing for mine. #DisabledIsNotABadThing #disabledandunashamed #quotes #BodyPositivity #bodyacceptance #Activism #Blogger #Disability #365dayswithdisability

The foot bones are connected to the ankle bones- that is if your tendons are doing their jobs. I've reached the point where ankle braces are a must have for summer (and the rest of the year.) I have stretchy pull on ones currently, which I like because of minimal bulk, softness, and honestly because of versatility. Worn on their own with shoes they look like funky socks, with socks they can go over socks or under socks. Here I have one over and one under. If over had looked as cool as I'd have hoped with these socks I'd have worn both over, but the design here isn't printed low enough in the toe for it to do what I'd been hoping. (Socks are from @spirithalloween - I love their thigh high stocking material, and of course how fun these particular ones look. Love me some skeleton legs.) I'm kind of thinking of the braces as prosthetic tendons as that's kind of what function they are playing. If I had a spare pair I think I might try drawing some tendons on them with puffy paint but right now I just have this pair. #365dayswithdisability #stretchypeople #hypermobility #nos #anklebrace #ankle #chronicfemme #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicgoth #socks #bones #tendons (at Rockland, Pennsylvania)
