Tights and boots have been a staple of my fall war

Tights and boots have been a staple of my fall wardrobe since the 90s. Fall fashion is the seasonal consolation prize that makes it easier to accept that colder weather is coming.

So, it sucks to discover just how much harder it is this year to put on tights. Thanks to weakening legs and diminished upper body strength, lately I’m more inclined to call them ‘Fights’ bc the struggle to get in and out of them is real. #fallDownWardrobe

MS progression isn’t always measured in the doctor’s office, but in the small and insidious ways that make us ask ourselves, when the hell did it get so hard to [insert formerly simple task]?

I’m not ready to give up tights but I hope our adaptive designers are working on something cool (zippered tights? Idk)

ID: without a hint of her existential ennui, Ardra wears a big smile and yellow “taxi” mitts with a navy shift, knee-high boots and those effing tights. She’s standing with her @rollzint Rollator outside NYC’s new theater, The Shed (where she just saw Sondheim’s Here We Are. Here we are, indeed.)

Optimus Prime goes to Manhattan 😍

This trip would be impossible without my Rollz Motion convertible rollator/transport chair (not to mention my husband who spends
more time than I do pushing it these days 🙏)

Thankful for the tools and the ppl who help me experience so much of the world.

(And 50 points to whoever knows what the word is for feeling grateful for help while simultaneously feeling pissy about needing it.)

My cardio is getting in and out of a jumpsuit when I have to pee.

ID: ardra stands with her @rollz Rollator in a park on a sunny autumn day. She’s wearing a one-piece button-up denim jumpsuit: the true definition of a fashion risk. ⚠️

There are many things to worry about when travelling with a disability and most of them start at the airport #iykyk

I’m happy to say I breezed through YTZ this morning and both me and my mobility aid made it safely to NYC 🍎

Special thanks to the staff at @porterairlines who made me feel well looked after.

Normally I would rally and drag myself up those stairs in an attempt to avoid being an inconvenience but Porter was like, sit your ass down, we got you, girl.
