So I’ve had this odd habit of popping my hip in and out since I was a kid…anytime I was standing still, I could feel this little bone popping in and out of place when I moved just right. Little did I know, this quirky subluxation would end up helping my doctors finally diagnose my… Continue reading What is EDS?
When Meg from BBH posted on Insta about signed copies of her book up for grabs, I immediately jumped at the chance. I’ve told her this before, but I was reading her blog before I was even diagnosed. Many hours were spent digging deep into every post available on her site. It’s a real goldmine… Continue reading Segway Into My New Life, A Story of Diagnosis – My Review
This week, I received two pieces of awesome news. I was asked by a teacher to speak at IUPUI next semester on MS and Exercise, and I was asked to submit an audition video for a web series on rrms. Stumble Pup is movin’ on upppp. What does this mean? In the grand scheme of… Continue reading What’s This Mean?
This time two years ago, disability advocacy would have never crossed my mind. I’ve always been the type to go out of my way to be polite and courteous to others; holding doors open, making sure the lady in the wheelchair can get through, walking delicately around the blind guy with the cane, etc. More… Continue reading We Deserve Better
“Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.” Theodore Roosevelt April 8th, 2018, was one hell of… Continue reading Rebirth
This week has been a fulfilling, exciting blur. Dr appointments, new job stuff, old job stuff, college classes, vocational program classes, and all the extra stuff life with MS brings filled my week up very quickly. I’m loving the new productivity I’m experiencing. It just feels good to get stuff done, doesn’t it? Writing about… Continue reading Feeling Fulfilled
I know it’s almost never Friday when I post these, so this week, it’s just Feelings. I’m feeling a ton at once, so no specific focus this week either. This post is about as scattered as my mind lately. Somehow, another month has passed me by without posting on here – it’s not that I… Continue reading New Circumstances, New Feelings
I’m Bri, and I’m thriving with RRMS. Stumble Pup is my way of trying to find my way in the new community I find myself a part of, and to provide a little soft space to land for those struggling with MS or mental health issues. Basics first; I was formally diagnosed with RRMS in… Continue reading A Little Bit More
I realize I haven’t done one of these in a freaking month and I have a million excuses, but none that really trump the importance of this for me. Not necessarily blogging, but writing in general. Connecting with others in the auto-immune realm is also really important…without Instagram and my local support group I’d be… Continue reading Friday Feelings, 4
I decided to rewind back to the travel post I wanted to do before I got caught up in my feelings on Friday. In the past couple of years that we’ve been married, Phil and I have been to some really beautiful places. For our honeymoon, we went on a 5 day cruise to the… Continue reading Carnival Sensation + Cocoa Beach
