#HospitalGlam: Same day, different providers. In the top photo I’d been arguing with techs and staff for 45 minutes before an invasive procedure, and this photo was taken while a tech was staring at me, with the hospital’s legal & corporate departments on the phone. We are always fighting for care, even in vulnerable states. The bottom photo was immediately after that appointment, in another doctor’s office, who gave me test results that weren’t the best but we could meet where we both were emotionally, in this world, right now, and breathe. Every day is hard and weird but there are pockets of hope in the people around us. Let them hold us. // [#imagedescription: horizontally split image showing me in two separate clinical spaces: in the top one it is me sitting on a gurney in a hospital gown prior to a bilateral breast ultrasound, paying more attention to the speakerphone discussion than the image. In the bottom, I’m sitting on a medical bed in a bright exam room, cross legged in a long black dress, animatedly talking to a doctor, off camera. The mood is very different between the images, as it was between appointments.] / #chronicillness #disability #disabledandcute #ehlersdanlosgrrrls #selfadvocacy #invisibleillness #survivor https://www.instagram.com/p/BokKAeqHSWL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q4uegdvsrq5o -- source link
