Marriage or Medicaid?
Surviving a double lung transplant after being diagnosed with a rare lung-attacking autoimmune disease, I couldn’t see beyond the moment.

Ableism
So here is little old 5ft 1” me at 8 and some stone. I have a condition called Ehlers Danlos which causes me to dislocate easily. Since the birth of my 2 children my hips have lost their stability and sub-lax frequently. (Partially move out the joint socket) the same happens with my wrists & knees on a regular basis. Most nights I dislocate my big toes on the duvet and often wake with ribs out of place. I don’t have a central solid core muscle so I fall over very easily.
