Yeah, I would like to.

I mean, as I have more time, but I mean, it also would like animals and stuff.

It's also hard because as I get older with my illness, I get more chronically ill.

And most of the time I do use my cane and I.

you know all of this stuff and so dang you're on a cane now yeah oh yeah yeah i have a cane i have a wheelchair i have a handicap sign i try to like not um because as soon as i give into it you know it weakens your muscles and everything even more but there are some days that are really really nasty

Yeah, I've had a genetic condition my entire life.

After what happens with it, it's called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, in case anybody wants to know.

But what happens is that you're actually not supposed to have kids.

Because what happens is that chemical prolactin, I think it is, correct me if I'm wrong,

It goes in and it makes all your ligaments really loose right when you have a baby.

But when you have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, everything is already super loose.

So essentially it makes it loose and looser and it doesn't go back.

So my skin and my tissues, bones, ligaments, they're already really, really thin and loose.

Oh, yeah.

Loosey goosey everywhere.

I can pick up skin.

Everywhere.

I mean, including, you know.

Wow, your eyelids.

Yeah, I mean, everything, everywhere.
