Neat little man-made cave area in the gardens. A fab place to cool off from the hot sun. It's tucked in behind the waterfall.

Photos my Mom took of me, after I took photos of her 💗 Wearing one of my fave floral #jumpsuits. I love jumpsuits & have several different ones.

My first time enjoying Pease Lake in the Highlands. 2019.
My friend, Lyrica, introduced me to this lake 🥰 We've been back a few times since this day. We took a small inflatable boat out & paddled to far end of lake. There was only 4 other people at lake at other end.
You can see part of my atrophied legs here - left is thinner than right.

Asher doesn't want me to put my leg braces on because it usually means that I'm leaving him inside/at home, by himself.

Reminder that #polio hasn't been globally #eradicated yet. I'm a #PolioSurvivor dealing with PPS - #PostPolioSyndrome now.
#Pakistan and #Afghanistan are the only countries in the world where #polio remains #endemic

Gunmen killed one soldier and wounded another on May 31 when they opened fire on security forces escorting a team of polio workers during a door-to-door inoculation campaign in a former Pakistani Taliban stronghold near the Afghan border, police said.
Alright y’all, time to bless you with polio things
1) Y’all don’t want polio, it’s a fucking ride
2) vaccinate your damn kids
3) polios perceive the world as 20degrees colder than actual temp
4) paralysis is NOT the worst part of polio
5) y’all REALLY don’t want polio #polio #poliosurvivor #backonmybullshit
