There are benefits

So my last post pretty much sucked in terms of inspiration and positivity. However, it was honest. I don't want to pretend I'm protected by a bubble that surrounds me from all of what EDS has to offer. A force field, like Violet in the Incredibles would be cool though.The geneticist also wants be back for a follow-up and some more tests. yay.

As we all know, EDS makes us put up with a lot and the majority of it,we could easily live without.There are some benefits to being bendy. Here is a list of things that have benefited me.

• Go-go Gadget arms (Inspector Gadget). I can usually reach things that otherwise couldn't be reached for. With the exception of things that are up high, as I'm pretty short.
• I can scratch my own back.
• I can fit into very small spaces, great for hide and seek as a kid.
• Fitting into small widows is great for watching the Santa Clause Parade
• I don't have to bend over to shave my legs
• Monkey toes are awesome. I can pick up almost anything.
• I'm awesome at yoga without trying.
• Being able to do things with other body parts; like open doors with feet
• After not being able to use my arm for about a year, I can almost do anything with one arm.
