Today, my Mom and I remembered that in the spring and summer, I wear her shorts because wearing my sweatpants makes me too warm. I took my dinner vitamins and looked at my lap. This completely startled me!!!:
I told Sean a few weeks ago that my body was changing. I I feel it. have an MS body. Looking at my legs, I realize that is true. For my entire life, I have wanted my legs to be this thin! But, the reason they are now is because my diet is so extremely restricted based on what I can chew. Chewing is extremely difficult. Now and I just have overnight oats, Stovetop chicken stuffing, (the turkey is for in the winter), and about 10 to 15 saltine crackers. I have that for lunch and dinner. I drink a nutrition shake for breakfast.
At first glance, my legs look like I would be a dancer! But yeah, not so much! Instead, I have been chronically ill for 23 years and counting…
Oh, my Mom puts my legs up like that every day that I am NOT leaving my house because the skin on my heels is so sensitive after having the pressure sores in ‘22 that I had for eight months! My heels cannot have any pressure on them at all. I tried to just keep my shoes on when I got my new chair because it was so comfortable but it took a week before the sores started coming back so I had to stop and my Mom does this.
