Isn’t This the Life?

I’m a big, hairy slob. I live with my husband in Kentucky. Everything on here IS “safe for work” even though @tumblr keeps insisting it isn’t.

Having Ehlers Danlos Syndrome sometimes feels about the equivalent of being composed of jello and wet spaghetti. Nothing stays where its supposed to. Literally every single cell in the body is floppy, so fingers are definitely an issue for many of us. I can almost guarantee that for the majority of us, writing is not only slow and painful but nearly impossible at times. FIne motor skills? What even are those? An EDSer surely doesn’t have any of those. Even typing which is far easier than writing, is painful and daunting at times. But last year I joined the population of shiny zebras by getting fitted for a set of Silver Rings Splints and they are beyond magical.

For those of you who have not heard of The Silver Ring Splint Company, they are a company that custom makes finger splints that look like elegant pieces of jewelry. Don’t believe me? Well I can’t even tell you how many compliments I’ve received for them. Nobody even suspects that they might possibly be medical. But more importantly, they work amazing! I still have hand pain and finger dislocations when performing fine motor skills and writing is definitely not something I look forward to but I have saved myself thousands of painful dislocations, I can open doors easier, type faster, write longer and hold objects in my hands without looking like an alien from a sic-fi movie. With the rings on my fingers actually look like fingers rather than tentacles!

The company is also family owned and the people are so sweet and helpful!

If you are having trouble with hand pain, clumsiness and dislocations please check out this amazing company!

I’m literally crying right now. I will be able to use my hands!!! As it stands I can’t do dishes, hold things, write, hold books, type, without pain or dislocation. Oh my gosh. This is a miracle.

those are gorgeous and that is amazing how well they’re working! signal boost!

I love these things. I use one for my thumb because due to arthritis I have very little strength/support in the joint and therefore often can’t do anything. My splint makes it possible for me to do my job, do the shit i need to do and not have as bad of pain.

these are so cool

omg the first ehlers danlos post I’ve seen, this makes me happy!

[imfemalewarrior]

I know people following me have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome so here you go! I hope this helps you.

Someone decided they couldn’t make it through an intersection this morning and instead decided to back into my car, despite my honking and to the peril of a pedestrian who was crossing at the time. It was a young driver wearing pyjamas, who immediately traded places with her mom who’d been in the passenger seat. The mom got out to do all the talking and it felt weird, like helicopter parenting or something.  I know it’s a stressful situation but insulating your child from the responsibility that comes along with driving their car into someone else’s seems symptomatic of a bigger problem.

My poor car.  This the 4th time someone has dinged it while it was standing still.

Bull in a China shop. The isles are so narrow and the floor sinks as I’m moving. Everything keeps rattling with every step! 🐂

If you haven’t seen it yet, please check out our new music video for my song “Same Old Love Songs”! It’s a beautifully hand-animated tale about a sea captain (me!) that a friend did. This is a really, really personal song for me, so I hope you like it!
