Thread: Certain things in life just cost me more money. I jokingly call it the crippled tax. I have to buy a first class seat on flights more than 2hrs bc thr pressures against my nubs becomes unbearable. I have to use valet parking or hourly parking at the airport because the
Walk across the parking lot causes me to sweat, when I sweat my nubs rub raw inside my liners... blister then bleed. I have to buy premium seating at concerts because can’t get to any other seats. My shoes and pants wear out quick because the metal and plastic is unforgiving
But perhaps the worst added expense for us crippled folk is a phone. At least once a year I fall so hard that I shatter my phone. It used to be 2-3 times a year but the water proofing helped a ton. (My hands are also severely damaged and I dropped things all the time)
I’m not complaining. I’m so ecstatic to just be here, having survive A FREAKING BOMB GOING OFF UNDER MY FEET, I’m not trying to invoke compassion or guilt... just shedding some light on this awkwardly expensive side of my life. Also, I tried for 5 minutes to screen shot...
My shattered screen from a... wait for it... t shirt on the floor cause fall this am. Got my phone, a ham string and a finger but I’m here haha!
