I got dressed up with the intention of taking some awesome hospital glam photos in my GP’s office today, but… Sometimes, it’s just not going to happen.

I had to try on about 10+ different pieces of clothing before I could find an outfit that wasn’t just falling off me thanks to the 25lbs I’ve lost in the past 6 months. Getting dressed and undressed over and over with joints that don’t stay in their sockets, and low blood pressure…

You maybe can’t imagine how that leaves me feeling, but let’s just say it’s not glam. And that’s completely okay. A big lesson that has featured in my life these past few years is learning how to have flexible expectations of myself. How to let go of an idea that may not be possible given my physical limitations in that moment.

I’m still learning. It’s all about experience points and leveling up. There is no level cap in these lessons, just like anyone’s life, sick, disabled, or not.
