Midgar-Zolom113 karma

I was born with Ehler-Danlos Syndrome, Blepharitis, and a body that is only misshapen enough to give me a bit of Scoliosis. I have been in constant chronic, sometimes crippling pain all my life and my vision is so bad that corrective lenses cannot be made strong enough for my eyes anymore. I cannot get lasik. I cannot look up when I am outside due to the bright sunlight.

Thank you for doing this. I am an evolutionary dead end and while I cherish the life that I have, I am incredibly grateful for what you are doing for your children by making sure that they do not suffer.

Until we have the ability to manipulate genes, I'll be a living, fighting example of why we need these options!

I must be doing something wrong, because I have to take my clothes off to get a five dollar bill shoved into my cleavage...

Thanks! Video games are the only thing I'm good at since I am physically unable to do a lot of things. I grew up with FFVII and Midgar Zolom always conjured dread and anticipation... I guess that's because I played chicken with him so much. :)

I plan on adopting children instead of having any myself, as I would have a high risk pregnancy and my hips, thanks to my spine, are extremely crooked, so I plan on getting sterilized as soon as the opportunity arises. I can always pass on FFVII and my morals, though!

So far I can honestly say that I wouldn't have my life any other way. It's been stressful and I'm not even financially stable (I had to move back in with my mom when I lost my job from the constant EDS dislocations) but I am doing my damned-est to make the best of my life!
