SEASONAL SELF-PITY SYNDROME

Pools & beaches can be extremely anxiety provoking, so I try to make what I wear over my afos as comfortable and as easy to get on and off as possible.

I’m pretty sure fall gets the ”favorite season” award for people living with chronic conditions and disabilities. Personally, my body just works better with pumpkin spice lattes, crisp (not too hot & not too cold) air, and the return of all my favorite tv shows.
This post was previously published and has been updated to include the current styles of AFOs (leg braces) and disability-friendly boots.

However, the small commission helps me offset website costs and occasionally indulge in a few Starbucks skinny vanilla lattes. Shoe shopping…
