#KAFOs

[caerphillycheese]

Three images from a set of at least six taken in Chester, UK in the early 1970s and featuring an attractive lady named Jean. These images were on Flickr at one time but the person who posted them has deleted his account. If the lady still lives, she will now be in her seventies.

[ann-nitta]

And now for something completly different …

[story behind] A friend of mine got these shoes for something like 5 euros. I got it for the Valentine’s Day - perfectly my size. I offered to wear it for 3 days … with cheap KAFOs or without 😀

Ok we started adding more stuff with time…

Polio fiction

So, this is a bit of a first draft from a new LGBTQ contemporary novel which includes a lead character with polio - he's in his 30's. Should I keep writing?

In his wildest dreams, the college student would join the professor in the pool. He imagined them both swimming Olympian lengths, the professor with his powerful arms and slow, two-handed strokes, the student with his own ardent but clumsy efforts. He envisioned the professor's braces - the steel and leather contraption on his leg from childhood polio - and the Canadian crutches he sometimes used to move about, now abandoned at the edge of the pool.

The student could see the professor's crippled legs in the water - a sensation he could only dream of in his fantasies. He imagined the current of the water, the way it brushed against his skin and the professor's, like a secret embrace. He wished the professor would reach out to him, but the student held back, knowing his feelings were all one-sided.

Still, the student was transfixed by the professor's movements. The professor moved slowly through the water, his arms outstretched, as if conducting some kind of invisible orchestra. And the student, watching and yearning, felt a strange elation, as if by being in the professor's presence, he was also lifted up.

The student remained in the pool long after the professor had finished his laps and crawled his way back to his crutches. The student kept swimming, his mind lost in a kind of reverie. He imagined himself joining the professor on dry land, or maybe even in the air, the two of them soaring above the pool and the world like birds.

The student's reverie was broken when he realized the professor was standing at the edge of the pool, watching him. The professor didn't say anything, but the student could still feel his presence. He felt like he was standing on the edge of something he could only dream of - coming out to the professor and feeling his crippled legs in the water.

Dan, the student, followed Prof. Davis into the locker room, Their lockers were next to each other. Dan was entranced by the flaccid limbs of the professor with the powerful upper body. He watched as Prof. Davis dried his crippled limbs. They chatted about college sports. Davis seemed interested in keeping up the conversation. Dan saw his opening when the prof said, "Of course, I never played sports because of these," grabbing each paralyzed limb in turn and dropping it as it flopped.

Dan saw his opportunity.

"Don't want to be nosy, but what happened to your legs?", asked Dan.

Davis raised an eyebrow, clearly taken aback.

"I'm sorry," Dan said quickly. "It's just...I've always been fascinated by them. It looks like polio, but you're too young for polio."

Davis looked at Dan for a long moment, his expression unreadable. The older man swallowed and said, "Very perceptive. You're partially right. I should be too old for polio. But my parents were living in Peru when I was born and I got a damaged polio vaccine, thus this," pointing at his legs.

"I'm sorry," stammered Dan, "it's none of my business. It's just I've always been curious."

After a long pause, Davis chuckled , "Do you want to touch them?"

Dan reddened, but before he could speak, Davis held up his hand..."Not fair..I'm sorry, that was uncalled for! Sometimes I have a weird sense of humor," he chuckled as he returned to drying his thin legs.

Dan's heart leapt into his throat. He had dreamed of this moment, but never thought it could actually happen. "Yes," he wanted to answer. Yet, not knowing how to respond now, he simply smiled awkwardly.

As the two men returned to dressing, Davis quietly said, "but seriously, if you're really interested, I'm happy to share...just not here," he said with a wink.

Davis nodded and lifted one of his legs, teasingly showing it to Dan.

"Yeah, that would be cool, if you're serious."

Chapter 2

So a few weeks later, Dan showed up at Davis' condo as agreed, rang the doorbell and entered the prof's home. After showing Dan a seat in the living room and returning with a couple of beers, unlocking the brace on his almost completely paralyzed left leg, Chase sat down next to Dan. As they had quickly dressed weeks ago at the pool, Dan had watched as the older man took a heavy, old fashioned steel and leather brace out of the locker and deftly strapped it to his shortened left leg.The right leg was just strong enough that with the combination of his braced left leg and the crutches, it could hold his weight. As they left the pool, Dan followed the crippled man and marveled at how his movements were almost athletic - balletic even.

Dan couldn't believe he had somehow followed his dream to his home! Chase was wearing shorts and a tank top, showing off both his powerful arms, shoulders and chest, as well as his crippled legs.

"You know what I bet you'd like?" asked the prof. "How 'bout if you help me with this," as he touched his brace.

Davis took the young man's hand and moved it to the drop lock.

"Pull this," he directed as the knee lock unlocked and the brace freed.

The two men sat down.

"Here...undo the buckles."

First the knee and then the thigh.

Dan's hand trembled as he touched the professor’s paralyzed limb, feeling the warmth of Davis' skin beneath his fingers. "Grab my leg and lift it out of the brace," Davis instructed.

Gently, Dan wrapped both hands around the professor's thigh, feeling the flaccid muscle beneath his fingertips. He began to massage slowly and carefully, noticing how soft Davis' limbs were under his touch.

"What do you think?" Davis asked, a knowing twinkle in his eye. His chest was broad and smooth and his arms were thick with strength. His shorts rode up slightly on one side, hinting at two different legs below - one completely paralyzed and the other thin and weak but with some muscle.

"It's sort of what I imagined," Dan breathed, transfixed by this image that seemed almost too perfect to be real.

Davis smiled knowingly. "I've seen you looking at them," he said in a soft voice. "I happen to like being appreciated."

Trembling, Dan reached out and touched the limp flesh. It was warm and soft and somehow electric, sending shivers down Dan's spine. He touched it gingerly, barely touching the crippled leg. And then backed quickly away.

"It won't bite," chuckled the prof taking the student's hand and returning it to his small left leg. Davis held Dan's hand on his flaccid thigh. Dan gently squeezed as he felt the soft flesh,the thigh bone barely beneath the skin. It was as Dan expected...soft, tender, smooth, so very thin, without muscle, but a rigid bone under he soft skin.

"You like that?" asked Davis, his voice low and husky.

Dan looked up at Davis and found something in his eyes that he had never seen before - a kind of raw hunger mixed with tenderness, and something else that he couldn't quite identify.

"It's amazing," he said softly. "I've never felt anything like it before."

Davis smiled at him, a small, knowing smile. He took Dan's hand again and guided it up his thigh, all the way to his hip. The student felt his body shiver with excitement as he felt the bulge of Davis' cock beneath his shorts. He looked up at Davis, who was now staring at him intently.

What would the other Prisoner's T3 Guilty Restraints look like? (Fun Theory)

This is the Second Part consisting of 005002008007009,

To understand this post, you need to read the First Part to so that my conclusions make sense.

The First Part is here, consisting of 010004003001006.

Just to re-establish what we know. There are three elements of varying reliability that can assist us.

a) The Sneak Peaks from the PV Trailer (002003006007010) Which is mostly reliable for previous T1 Guilty Prisoners b) Undercover second chorus sprites Reliable if you're Kotoko c) How they killed their victims Pretty reliable

We also know that those with a Double Guilty will likely have a collar.

Disclaimer: Since this section has a majority of Prisoners without a lot of information to go off, I'm having a bit more fun with it. It's a lot more speculation (also influenced by my own biases) so these ones are likely not to be as accurate.

With tha out of the way, let's get back into it!

Shidou Kirisaki

I discussed this dude a lot in Mahiru's section. Hi again Shidou. A world where he got guilty so Amane didn't kill him.

Sneak Peak: Nil

Now the funniest thing he could have is a plague doctor mask. Keeps hitting stuff with that long nose. Try to treat Mahiru but keeps pecking her and can barely see. Jackalope would be disappointed, he likes how Shidou looks. But I don't know if Milgram would want to cover a prisoner's face entirely.

Muu's restraint shows we don't need to be limited just to real-life head restraints.

So in that case, I propose a wired manneiqun head restraint.

Like the manniequn from Throw Down but without the flowers. If he got Double Guilty he could just have more wires. I just think this would be cool. The wires would likely be gold in colour, kind of like his Conservatory. I think this would be more interesting than some alternatives.

Posing

His hands are tied, a lot like Muu's Guilty restraint. Does not look comfortable.

He can't smoke anymore unless someone helped him. Side note: I think this restraint looks so cool, I can't see a different type that would work so well with his coat. So we'll say this is his restraint. His right leg looks like it's been bent awkwardly. Speaking of legs I'm unsure if they would be restrained. We do see him walk a bit in Throw Down and Triage, but not sure how to combine that well. With how far apart his legs are I wouldn't say an Ankle Hobbit is appropiate. Perhaps leg braces? If we want to get a bit medical a Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (KAFO) brace may be suited specifically, an older leather version with a locked knee joint to restrict him. Whether that be necessary I'm unsure.

Method of Murder

Snips

Yeah considering his restraints from Undercover, that's all handled.

Though thinking about it now, his medical equipment on his T2 Sprite would likely be removed. And if his hands weren't already covered, his gloves would likely have been removed too.

Conclusion

I added gaps like in the Throw Down manneiqun, which wouldn't exist if unforgiven twice.

A Guilty Shidou and Innocent Amane would be amusing going into Trial 3. We never got to see how he felt about his innocent verdict, so it would have been cool to hear his thoughts on his guilty. Since I discuss him a bit last time I'll finish my discussion here.

Yuno Kashiki

Decide I should go between Sneak Peak and non-sneak peak prisoners, so Yuno is up!

Sneak Peak

A Scold’s Bridle, amazing, no notes. A punishment for gossip in the form of public humiliation. I like how there's a single link where a chain is meant to attached that looks like earrings. The way she stares at the audience is very fun.

Aisak Yuuka (Yuno's VA) did say she suspected Yuno would get guilty in Trial 2 because of the things she was saying in Tear Drop, and in this world where she did, a Scold's Bridle is very fitting.

Scold's Bridle tend to have a spiking gag so that speaking brings pain. Would Milgram removed that feature to let Yuno speak, or would her voice drama have to be Es reading out her writing, ending with her calling out? Maybe it depends on if she was unforgiven once or twice. They could remove the gag all together, which would make the headgear Scold's Bridle in design mostly. Maybe no earrings?

Her restraints remind me a lot of Mikoto's. You can see her original horizontal restraint being immendely tighten, but on top looks like Mikoto's X restraints, expect now there's a collar linked to it. Don't think she would get them unless she had a Double Guilty. Funny her final restraints look like his original ones, did Milgram already view him as dangerous?

Wait it isn't his turn yet, sorry Yuno.

Posing

Yuno of all people covering for Kotoko? Haha

Anyways we have another Sneak Peak restraint that actually works with instead of against Undercover! Makes life easier for me.

She also has a bent knee, which due to Kotoko I've been using as an indicator of leg restraints. But I feel stumped. I guess we could go for another round of Leg Braces, but that doesn't feel suited.

You know how Amane's sleeves got huge for T2? I feel like Yuno's dress getting longer and heavier that weighs her down and restricts what she's able to do. It not only acts as a restraint, but also make her look more modest, as opposed to her occupation, since being unforgiven is rejecting her beliefs. She's a prostitute because she wants to be, so forcing her to wear/look more like an outdated idea of a "proper lady" may link with the Scold's Bridle.

Or just leg restraints for the knees (boring answer).

Method of Murder

Well this does make me like the long dress idea more. Not sure what else to say here. I really can't tell where her arms are. Are they crossed or just pressed against herself? Makes the arm restraints seem like a reference.

Conclusion

Depending on how we reach this point changes if this is classified as "warm" to her, if a Guilty verdict is reached because it's her, or just due to other's moral compass and lectures. Would of liked a 50/50 for her, that be nice.

I hope Life is wild.

Amane Momose

A world where Amane got a second Guilty verdict. Muu, Amane and Kotoko would all be our "enemy" in that case, especially Amane and Kotoko.

Sneak Peak: Nil

What comes to mind is a Crown of Thorns.

I mean if they're willing to put spikes on the veil covering Muu's face, then a barbed wire crown wouldn't be too wild.

She wouldn't be able to put her hat on, that signifies her leadership, due to it. It'll be one of the most simplest restraints yet one of the more painful ones. I think it would have a more tight-knitted pattern design than above. Her hair would likely be uncut too. Long bangs.

I assume the thorns would be outwards, stopping her from being able to touch her head, maybe one or two inwards to keep it in place.

Posing

Her arms look like a Minecraft Villager haha. Though with how big her sleeves are now, it'd probably be a lot harder to make it work. They would have to overlap them.

Anyways her arms are trapped, I find it funny she's not praying like Muu is. With how low her body is to the ground I suspect she would have some heavy restraints on her legs (though Muu stands up straight now, maybe if she was guilty twice it would be worse? Undercover c'mon.). Perhaps with her Double Guilty verdict she's forced to make herself smaller, emphasising her youth. That she is a child being punished, regardless of what she says. Because her thoughts and beliefs have been rejected.

I would like if she's forced to stay in a bent knee position, in which she can either kneel or sit like she is above. Like a rigid knee brace at an acute angle. Have to kind of waddle on each knee to get around. Greatly annoying. At least Fuuta can help her.

Method of Murder

Funny how both her weapons have a sphere on the end yet Undercover doesn't depict that. Inaccurate and unreliable. Haha

Arms are have been dealt with! So not much else to mention.

Conclusion

She's going to be pissed with a Double Guilty, I bet her T3 Sprite would look angry. So both Amane and Fuuta would be against Es/Us. Assuming everyone else's verdicts are the same, 4/7 prisoners would be rejecting us, ans of the three not I doubt they would help us. A very fun time.

Kazui Mukuhara

Guilty Kazui, he'd be happy?

Sneak Peak

Upon closer look at his Sneak Peak, he doesn't look too upset, especially if you cover half the face at a time. He's definitely thinking though.

Anyways, our third muzzled Prisoner, perhaps I should give the others a muzzle? Funnily enough, his muzzle also has that strap being held across the top of his his head (see image below) like Kotoko's T3 Sprite. The shape of the muzzle isn't like an animal's snout, also isn't a cat muzzle (they tend to cover the eyes) so not sure what to make of it. Just a human muzzle.

Can't smoke or drink now huh. Or eat? I really am curious how it works for Mahiru and Kazui with their muzzles.

He's the only Sneak Peak to have a leash that we don't see what restraint it's attached too. I would guess the one around his abdomen. The V shaped restraint is interesting too.

Posing

His pose in the Sneak Peak makes it look like his arms are by his side, but there's nothing that really says they can't be behind him. So he can join the Yuno and Kotoko Undercover gang, maybe part-time, half-commited.

I enjoy the idea of him being forced to be in a bow-like position. Having to respect the judgement and views of those around him instead of his dreams during his life, now the same to the prison. It may force him to look up at Es, and many others aswell. The biggest Prisoner, who found his height and weight useful, restrained to be slightly off-balanced. If we just tightened his leash attached to his abdomen he would be forced to keep his head down. Also this could go hand-in-hand with Amane's kneeling.

But he would need a collar. And if he's only Guilty once, he shouldn't have that. Perhaps his restraints only prevent him from standing upright, but with a Double Guilty, he would be pull down dramatically.

Imagine if he only has one Leg Brace, so his straight leg is actually bent. Getting denied his stance. Not too sure about the legs.

Method of Murder

I only just realised how much pain Es looks to be in, holy. Their back ouch.

"It's not my lies that killed her. She's dead because I stopped lying to her! If I had just kept lying- She wouldn't have died…!"

So yeah, the muzzle checks out. Not many other restraints work except maybe his hands. Well they're behind his back so they won't be of much use.

Conclusion

I really don't have much to say because I'm not too sure how a Guilty verdict would effect Kazui. Would he be more open with discussing with Es? Nevertheless with him and Kotoko unforgiven in this world, Mikoto would be the only strong fighter with near complete freedom.

Mikoto Kayano

Finally. Welcome Mikoto. Been referencing your T2 song a lot haha. I would assume Milgram might hypnotise Oretoko when the new restraints are added, not wanting to mess up again like last time they put the restraints on.

Sneak Peak: Nil

I feel it would have been something interesting, since this verdict seemed to be what Milgram was expecting.

We could slap on another muzzle haha, it feels like at least one Non-Sneak Peak prisoner should be muzzled. It would even out the Prisoner gender ratio 2:2 too. Or maybe his eyes would be covered, like the blood in Double. His card, the Hanged Man, is about a new perspective, but he'd be getting denied that with his vision gone. His eyes (and eyes in general) are emphasised in Double a lot and even scribbled out. Fuuta, who loses sight, also has a lot of eyes in his T2 MV.

I'm really not sure though. Maybe a muzzle + something covering one eye? Depending on why he was founded Guilty would change things.

Let's go with a blindfold thingy.

Posing

THE HANGED MAN.

His arms are triangle bent as opposed to Kazui and Fuuta 's more rectangular bent ones. A lot like the Hanged Man card in his MVs on his shirt, phone, and card. Though he's messed up the pose, only one leg is meant to be bent.

Following the logic with Amane, he may have restraints on his legs that bend his knees. His legs seem parallel to each other so the leg restraints may be connected. Knees + Ankle Hobbit?

Method of Killing

Guys I think he killed with a baseball bat.

Welp his arms are restrained. Is there anything else needed?

Conclusion

He's never changing his clothes haha. But hey! Oretoko is still around!

He'd likely have more restraints on top of his original ones (as should any of the other Double Guilty here) but those are a lot more vague so I don't draw them in unless provided.

I wonder would they do with this verdict, try attacking Es again? Not as quiet as a Innocent Verdict created.

End of the Second Part

WE'RE HERE. Thank you for taking your time to read this! If you found it at least a bit interesting than I'd be glad haha.

These posts have taken me over a week to make, spending my free time on them, so I'm very grateful to be able to finish them. Once again please lmk if you have any ideas.

This part is probably not as strong as the First Part and a lot more brief, (though I'm a fan of my ideas of Shidou here,) nevertheless hope you enjoyed it! Since we'd likely never get confirmation it's fun to theorise what could have been!

I'd love to hear anyone else's thoughts! Thank you again!

[armoredcrystal]

hi, I hope this is okay to ask, but because you were talking about your job and identified viktor's braces in one post, is there anything you could tell me about what kind of brace Jayce would wear?

Let's assume he needs it because the fracture healed wrong. The first brace he makes himself just to stay upright, then he gets another in Piltover.

Is what he wears in Piltover accurate to what someone with his issue might wear (I feel like he's not in the city for long so he might not have had time to get the perfect one)? If not, what should his brace look like?

this is absolutely okay to ask! (long post incoming)

the brace jayce wears first in canon is the world's worst kafo (knee-ankle-foot orthosis), i believe. it doesn't have the patellar support that viktor's does, but it doesn't seem that he needs the same support that viktor did, given his second brace also doesn't have patellar support.

jayce's first brace also does not have the structure to provide much more than lateral (side to side) stability. both of them look like they work more to keep his leg bones aligned than to support motion. given there's a hinge on only one side, his knee may be lacking stability in one direction instead of both rather than needing weight redistributed.

anyway- as for what it looks like. it's a kafo still, but with what looks like fracture bracing and/or splinting for the lower leg. this one is also properly secured around his thigh, so just for that it gets many more Realism Points.

now- and sorry for just now answering your question, this is a SI for me- ideally jayce would have had his leg set and cast to prevent a chronic injury, but he is doomed by the narrative to be a mirror to viktor. whoopsie.

i don't believe we're told *exactly* what he broke, which makes it hard to say what he'd need. if it was his knee, he'd use something like an offloading brace with lateral support. if it was his ankle, he'd probably use an afo, given the lasting damage from walking on it anyway. if it was one of the long bones in the leg, he'd probably keep it splinted/immoblized.

tl;dr- we don't know enough about what he broke to tell what he'd need. his first brace is shit and would only provide lateral support and *maybe* ankle support. maybe. the second brace is more accurate to what someone with a chronic injury may wear. i think it's important to remember that a lot of the smaller details on his brace are aesthetic and stylistic, and it can be hard to tell where that starts and stops, but yeah- his second brace gets the thumbs up!

[the-worms-in-your-bones]

Once again thinking about romana being disabled

I think she’s got some stuff going on pre etra prime, but not much physically, to me all of the gallifrey main characters are autistic so that obviously also applies to romana and I also think she has some brain fog and auditory hallucinations (mostly from Pandora fucking with her mind), I do think that she gets chronic migraines that start with her meeting Pandora and get worse and worse up until her regeneration, they don’t fully go away after it, but they get much better

After etra prime things end up getting a lot worse, even after she’s ‘fully’ recovered she doesn’t regain all of her strength, her baseline is now much lower than it used to be. She’s almost constantly fatigued and her legs will no longer support her weight for extended periods of time (I like to think she wears kafos), twenty years of malnutrition also completely wrecked her digestive system so now she can barely tolerate actual food and can really only eat those nutrition tablets (occasionally she’ll eat real food, but more often than not it leaves her sick and in pain for at least the next day or two)

[saturnsedan]

OBSESSED tell me all about your griffith recovery au PLEASE hes so PRETTY

Aiyah, thank you!! As much as I love the Golden Age Arc in its entirety, I'm such a sucker for prolonged hurt/comfort and that sweet, sweet angst. And I wish we would get to see more characters living with disabilities.

But it really all started because of what Judeau says his plans for the future are! He wants to take on the responsibility of caring for Griffith. He's willing to commit himself to a life of crime in order to support him.

So, in my AU, the raiders split off from the rest of the Hawks to follow Guts and Casca. Their goal is to find suitable allies outside of Midland. The rest of the Hawks (who are mostly injured at this point) would stay with Judeau and Griffith. They move into the mountains to stay with Godot and Erica.

Corkus already has experience as a thief so I think he'd do well with the arrangement. Especially if they put him in charge of that side of things - it'd give him something to do instead of wallowing in despair.

Pippin has experience working as a miner so he's more than capable in assisting Godot in that way. I also like to think he could help improve that dank, little cave they're going to be keeping Griffith in.

Rickert would help design KAFO braces for Griffith, and Gaston could make up a stiffly-boned corset for back support. I just think it's important that they all get to let their individual skills shine!

Most of Judeau's time would be spent tending to Griffith, keeping him healthy and entertained. Once he's back to a healthy weight, he'd really encourage him to move around as much as he can. Whether that be with his braces or by crawling.

Speaking of, they'd sew in extra padding into Griffith's hose and the elbows of his shirts so he can crawl comfortably. I imagine that he'd get quite good at moving around like this to the point his speed is a little frightening hehe!

[caerphillycheese]

This lady, whom I believe to be English, also appears in at least two more photos that I have seen. In every one, she is heavily braced (suggesting that she may be able to walk a little bit) but I have never seen any photos of her actually standing, Does anyone know anything more about her?

[cripplecharacters]

I’m making a backstory / writing fic about a minor character from a show. In her promo images, she had what looked like a lower leg / ankle brace, as well as a walking stick. In her few appearances, it turned out these were just decorative (not a brace, just an odd shoe). I was thinking of writing her as disabled in a fic, however there are 2 problems. One, I don’t know how she was disabled. What sort of problems require a brace? Two, I’m not disabled. Is it okay to make this change?

Hey!

I think it's fine to make an already existing character disabled. Especially if you're doing it for the reason you said and not for the way too common "angst because disability is so sad and tragic" reasons.

The type of ankle/calf brace you're describing would probably be what we call an ankle-foot-orthosis (AFO for short), but I can't tell you 100% without knowing how exactly it looks like. This is the most common type of orthosis. A lot of people use it.

For younger people; cerebral palsy will be the most common reason they are used, and by a wide margin. A stroke or a brain injury (traumatic, or infectious like encephalitis) could also cause it. Someone with late onset spinal muscular atrophy could also use AFOs or KAFOs (K for knee, they go above it), same for people who have low level spinal cord damage (e.g. multiple sclerosis, lumbar SCI, polio etc.). A tumor in either brain or spine could also require braces long-term.

If you specifically want her to have one orthosis and not two, you should probably look into hemiplegia/hemiparesis. All three of the first suggestions above could cause it, as well as conditions like Brown-Séquard syndrome.

All of the above would make sense for using a cane as well. I hope this helps,

I'm making a wheelchair user picrew because I'm so fucking tired of not being included in picrews so I'm making one for just us, WIP

[ID: a screenshot of a picrew of a wheelchair user doing a wheelie. the wheelchair user has a pink rigid wheelchair, strawberry hair in a short ponytail, a nasal feeding tube with pink tape, a green crop top with mushrooms on it, blue jeans with a crescent moon and stars on them, a pink ostomy bag, and pink AFOs]

I fucked up quite a few of the pinks in this, they don't match, oh well I might fix it later

I'm adding:

-an variety of skin tones

-a variety of hair textures and styles

-head coverings

-medical devices (HAs, BAHAs, CIs, 3 types of feeding tube, oxygen tube, tracheostomy, PICC line, Hickman line, ostomy bag, AFOs, KAFOs, knee braces, wrist braces, elbow braces, CGM, service dog, no constraints on the number of medical devices)

-customizable wheelchair options (arm rests, clothing guards, push rim colors, spoke protectors, calf strap, backpack, power assist)

-multiple vitiligo options

-multiple styles of glasses

-facial differences (microtia, anotia, cleft lip, ptosis)

I'm going to try to add:

-different body type

-prosthetics

I can't add (due to constrictions with layering and the base)

-missing limbs

-different styles of wheelchair

if there's anything you think I'm missing or want to suggest you're welcome to comment/send an ask- I need ideas

Foje mi volas, ke iu nur brakumu min kaj diru:

“Mi scias, ke estas malfacile. Vi estos en ordo. Jen kafo kaj kvin mil dolaroj.”🫠

.Whiskey. Back from the doctor's and going to attempt writing. But medical tw and rant tw under the cut first.

So apparently my last doctor was fired for lying on insurance papers. She had me marked down as a quadrapalegic with severe cerebral palsy. I have never had anything like that in my entire life. The only time paralysis was even mentioned in my entire past was the doctor who oversaw my mother's pregnancy warning her that with spinal cord deformities and spine diseases that paralysis was always possible, there was a chance I could have been born with it but I wasn't. And even one look at my medical history will tell any doctor that I have never had cerebral palsy, (which for those who don't know is basically a brain injury caused by lack of oxygen in the womb) what I have is a sister disease to cerebral palsy and spina bifida. I have Sacral Agenesis (missing the Sacrum of the spine) caused by Caudal Regression Syndrome. Basically big long fancy words to explain there's a deformity to my spine itself, I am missing bones in my spine. Literally that's all it means. Spina Bifida - spinal cord deformity Cerebral Palsy- brain injury Caudal Regression Syndrome- spinal column deformity

There's a huge difference there!

And I am not paralyzed at all, I walk wearing KAFOs, knee, ankle and foot orthotics, AKA leg braces because I have muscle weakness from the knee down.

She marked me down as having Cerebral Palsy and paralysis because my insurance would pay higher for it because Caudal Regression is harder to prove because it's rarer. Cerebral Palsy occurs in the US alone at a rate of 3 children in every 1000 births.

Caudal Regression Syndrome (which is what I actually have) occurs at a rate of 1-3 out of every 60,000 to 100,000 births in the US. (much rarer than Cerebral Palsy.)

Rant aside, going to refill my coffee and get to work. I'm just really pissed she ripped off my insurance because she wasn't even marking my diagnosis correctly!
