Disability causes me to constantly adapt to keep doing whatever I want! So I celebrate the little wins & new skills! These stupid AT (adaptive tech) mounts gave me too many headaches trying to get the Quick Release to actually release! Not anymore! I lubed it up so that not only can my staff operate it, but I can too!

Completed my registration & submitted my challenged athlete’s grant application. So I am being self-indulgent, customizing an American Girl Doll wheelchair to be the color of my first childhood wheelchair!

This Disability Awareness Month I’m going to share how inappropriate capitalism is for a FUNCTIONING MEDICAL SYSTEM. Our American Medical Industrial Complex is NOT meeting the needs of our society INTENTIONALLY. As a privileged person with a disability (including a Political Science & Disability Studies university education) I am seeing in real time the Supposedly Free Market FAILING to meet the needs of our citizens INTENTIONALLY FOR PROFIT. Capitalism has ZERO place within our medical system (nor government for that matter as it is a stupid ECONOMIC theory that has been Beatified by corrupt leaders to enrich themselves.) WE ARE LITERALLY LETTING THE MEDICAL industry SUCK OUR CITIZENS DRY! (At least in the 90’s I could say the magic words, “I’ll pay CASH,” and ACTUALLY GET what I NEEDED— now the almighty cash doesn’t do s**t, exposing the LIES behind the corruption!) **t seeking more evolved country willing to take me!

Full Outfit realized! The from caught me by the ❤️ so it came home with me! The original plan was just a catheter bag but then mentioned a halter top out of it would be cute… Two weeks later, the Halter top, Catheter bag, Breathing tube cover & ties, and catheter tube cover are complete!
