You get a couple of looks and then it is all over. Best to have the braces and casts for YOU rather than what fashion statement you may be making.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I had a T-shirt made up one year that said: I hung on tight and it WAS a bumpy ride! If you think I look bad... You should see my jetski! Feel free to use it! Debbi SoCal EDSers Hostess with the most'est! Well, ... at least the hostess with the most'est pink flamingos! (Wink, wink all you SoCal EDSers!)

It will save you a whole lot of time! LOL! Hope that made you smile! Debbi ****************************** LoL - thanks for the smile Debbi, it's a great idea! Actually with the state I'm in brace, splint, crutches and plaster wise at the moent I'm seriously considering wearing the T-shirt I made up bearing my stock reply to the inevitable " what happened to you? " question. It reads " When Bungge Jumping Goes Bad " on it and certainly raises a few smiles! Well I figured if I'm going to be gawped at for being a cripple I might as well get some fun out people reactions! ;-) Take care and keep smiling darl. Love and hugs....Jo xxx P.S. I'm hoping to evetually start making T-shirt with suitably sarcastic or witty slogans for the physically challenged amongst us, hopefully to raise money for EDS and Orthpeaadic research purposes. Any suggestions to add to my Bungee and " Hypermobiles do it bedning over backwards " designs would be gratefully recieved :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Oh, Jo -- I do hope that your wrist gets better soon and I hope you don't have to go for more surgery --- that would be a bummer!!!! Take care and rest well. Love, Patti Plastered again! xxx To learn more about EDS, visit our website: http://www.ehlersdanlos.ca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
