Today I went to get lab work done. The sensation of the needle entering my vein felt strange but I did not show physical signs of discomfort. They are suspecting I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or maybe even Fibromyalgia but we will find out in time. Life gets a bit tough with both physical and mental disabilities but I appreciate living each day regardless! It gives me a new perspective and more empathy towards people like me. 

Sometimes I need a mobility aid but I do not own one. When I brought up the topic of buying one I was laughed at. I am still unsure why! Sometimes my legs need extra help with standing, walking, and using stairs, I do not see why using mobility aids would be strange in my case. 

Due to my inability to remember and perform some tasks I have created a point system for myself. Today was the first day I've enforced it. I have gotten many things done and I did not forget to do basic tasks such as eating, drinking, brushing my teeth, etc. I have very high hopes for the future!

Thank you for living today,

I love you
