There was a clear benefit in how I felt in body and also spirit for having used the wipes so just as a concept I recommend trying them if you find regular washing to be difficult for you. #Disability #ChronicIllness

What I like about this model in particular is that it can be set for different kinds of pill schedules. #Disability #ChronicIllness #GiftGuide

Is it something that would make the person getting it go “Oh cool! I totally needed that!” or “Awesome, I didn’t even know that was a thing!” If so, it's on the list. #Disability #ChronicIllness #GiftGuide

Bumped into two of my neighbors who told me they look for Fia and Zella sitting in front of the window shade every morning, because apparently their two little heads turn in unison to watch them walk by.

All of the wipes tested came out even in terms of feeling cleaner compared to the baseline of the same amount of time without a shower or sponge bath. #Disability #ChronicIllness

This is what just *one* of my medications would cost me per year without insurance coverage. Which I'm finding out a not insignificant number of 2026 Medicare plans will not cover. Open enrollment is going to be so much fun, I can tell.
