I hear you !

Looking at the bright side.....at least my year round wardrobe of shorts/tanks and sundresses (I can't have anything on my neck) "match" what everyone else is wearing.

You know how people think we are "faking" or exaggerating our problems ? I'm over 40 and overweight, so when I start going bright red and sweating, people do think I might really be having a heart attack, so I finally get the "respect" that comes with having a visible disability. How sick is that ?

My other summer "pros" are............we go camping with friends a lot, so I get to enjoy socializing that I usually can't do much of because driving hurts me and.......I love life in my camper. At home when I tell my kids to pick something up/put it away, they just dump it in the next room. In the camper I can see if they are putting it away, so I get to live in a nice "clean" house.

Trying to make lemonade with those lemons !
