It turns out I’ve been partially dislocating stuff for years, who knew!

I had a really good week last week. I swam three times, went for boozy…

Went record shopping the other day and found a record I had wanted for months and it was cheap and good condition so I took it home all thrilled and then my bloody writs gave way and i dropped the arm of the player onto it and I’ve scratched it. 😭 it still plays vaguely okay but come on lads (Lads being my useless arms). #hypermobility #spoonie #clumsy #record #music #scratchedrecordsarenotfun
I knew my shoulders / elbows wouldn’t last the week, so I took a couple of days to rest. Today I slept in, watched some rubbish telly, then braved the cold to spend too much money on coffee and do my writing homework. Feeling slightly brighter already #restday #tired #chronicpain #hypermobility #spoonie #butyoudontlooksick #coffee
On subluxation #6 of 2K19. My boss has strongly suggested that I rest today, so I’m watching Netflix in bed and enjoying Tua-Lipa (pictured). #hypermobility #hypermobilitysyndrome #chronicpain #spoonie #spoonielife #sublaxation #bendypeopleproblems
On subluxation number 5 this year and it’s another shoulder and it’s a bad’un. Travelling ain’t all that fun. I fall into the trap of not liking to wear anything that makes my condition visible (sling only partially pictured), but then being annoyed when people are unable to see that there is anything wrong. Trying to remember that I can’t have it both ways, so I wore my sling to travel to work and people were nice in the main and I sat down and I didn’t get stared at as much as I sometimes do when I just wear the badge. All in all, not a terrible day. Blurry picture courtesy of a pretty smashed up phone, so apologies . #hsd #hypermobility #chronicpain #invisibleillness #butyoudontlooksick #spoonie #sublaxation #sling #werk
Most of my hypermobility issues started in my legs, so I’ve cultivated a lot of hobbies that involve sitting down. Writing is one of them, and I’m dead chuffed as my poetry class starts tonight. I also have dislocatey fingers though, so it’s not without pain. A lovely lady on twitter suggested I used a Lamy pen, and it’s really helped, even if I do look like I’ve robbed it off a toddler prodigy. Any other writing / pain tips gratefully received! #writing #hypermobility #chronicpain #spoonie #spoonielife #lamypen #ididntstealthispen #fountainpen #dislocatedfinger #sittingdown #lovesitting
