  1. Diagnosis: Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

    After self-diagnosing, I got an official diagnosis. The victory of the official diagnosis was upstaged by the foot trauma two days previously, which I now know is a broken bone. However, at lest it’s in the same limb as all my other orthopedic trauma and severe arthritis. That’s really my saving grace right now — it’s a familiar injury. Adding another new mystery set of symptoms would be less welcome than rehatching an old burden.

    Anyway, back to the art. I love some of the light interactive properties here that are hard to capture in a scan so:

     

    Reflective properties close up, gold paint in the eyes, green metallic reflection for the dark around and in the eyes. The shimmer (ultra fine glittering particles) in the green ink are vibrant blue, and in the blue zebra stripes are color shifting, right now a rose.

    Metallic version of the hardware in my leg — I looked at my own x-rays for reference!

    Final close up.

  5. Hey. Help us pay for my new wheelchair? I'm desperately hoping the issues with my current chair are that it's old and battered and possibly needs more in repairs than would be worth it (it's better than NOT having one, don't get me wrong...). But $1,100 (rounded slightly up) is a dear price even if cheaper than we'd ever get anything custom.

    We're hoping to pay it off in chunks, since we used a credit card, but. The assurance of *having* the money to pay it off would be awesome - and y'all can say you helped buy my chair! Win/win!

    Current goal is at $50/$100

    (Unless that's changed literally while I've been typing 🤣)

    My cashapp is $Inoru, spouse's CashApp is $ceahhettan and his
    Venmo is @/californiummm; ask them for paypal/zelle. Comment wheelchair or a Blue wheelchair emoji with specifically-for-this donations! Any amount helps and I/we appreciate!
