I recently have noticed something about my T-shirts. I thought this happened because they were too formfitting; but in talking with Sean today, I had a revelation. Lately, I have noticed that the armpits of my shirts get holes in them like this:
I thought to wear baggier shirts to cut down on the wear. Sean got me this long sleeved shirt for my birthday this past year but I didn’t wear it very often because summer came pretty quickly and stayed so long. I just pulled it out and started wearing it in the past few weeks. How on earth could it be worn out with such few times I wore it?!
I thought maybe it was my deodorant or something and today, Sean told me I can’t wear any of his shirts if I’m wearing shirts out like that. I told him that I didn’t know why this was happening but I’ve just noticed that it has happened to a few shirts of mine. I told him that I may have toxic underarm sweat or something but I wasn’t sure.
He walked from his room as I was sitting in the living room and he asked me what I have been doing. I must be doing something to wear them out. At the same time, we started moving our arms in the same motion. I put my hands on my wheels and started moving them as if I was pushing forward as he did the same standing in front of me.
That’s it! I am wearing the armpits out of my shirts because I am pushing myself in my wheelchair! We started to laugh at the same time and I told him it was another NOT COOL thing that happens because I am in a wheelchair. I told him that I needed to wear shirts with reinforced underarms and he told me that he wasn’t sure they existed. I never thought about life in a wheelchair until I started living life in a wheelchair! There are so many things that are not even thought about by most people and here is my NOT COOL stuff #14. Right about now, I wish I knew how to sew. Just don’t don’t judge me if you see me with holy armpits! 😂😂😂
