Not sure if any of you have seen these shirts before that are a big part of disability culture. I thought I would share. 3E Love – 3E Love's Wheelchair Heart https://share.google/O9a4cGqGvh0hju5bC

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EfSuEKq77/ I'm soooo grateful for every single one of you for being on this journey with me and I'm so proud of everything you have all accomplished!

Hey folx! Sorry I've been absent for a while. I missed the last couple accountability calls because my wound clinic appointment didn't end in time. Then all last week, we had a HUGE heatwave (upper 90s to 101F with the heat index over 110) and anyone with an SCI knows regulating your body temp can be a struggle. Not having air conditioning along with the sustained high temps, I was miserable and trust me, you wouldn't have wanted me on those calls cuz I was bitchy!!!! My home nurse comes 2 days a week and keeps scheduling me for 11am ESDT so I have to miss several workouts. Although I'm happy to report that my post-surgical PT evaluation went well and she said I am already doing all the right stretches and loves that I'm part of this group so she didn't feel like I needed to continue! I can't make the next 2 workouts, but I can make Thursday's!!! See you all soon!

I have a very busy week with several appointments, nurse visits, appliance deliveries, etc. so I am probably going to miss most of the workouts. I'm hoping to join Tuesday or Friday. I unfortunately have to miss the accountability call again because I have to renew my voter training certificate so I can work the elections this year. But my goal for the week is to try and remain present and not get too stressed or overwhelmed throughout the week (especially given we are in for another 5 day super hot heat wave).
