Just wrapped up #Lifesavers2025 by presenting a session on Transporting Children with Special Health Needs. Now, I'm heading back to @KetteringU. It was great seeing all of my CPST friends!

Midwesterners it’s time we settle the debate. Which ranch is the best?

@broadwaybabyto Traveling with POTS is the worst. It takes me days to recover. I now always travel with disposable tablecloths in my carry-on because I have had enough of laying down on digusting airport floors trying not pass out. People don't understand that sitting is sometimes not enough!

Everyone remember Brian - who felt he was aggrieved because people on his flight to Florida were in wheelchairs yet able to board plane without assistance? Brian felt it appropriate to photograph them & complain to the airline. What’s worse, the airline pandered to him. /1 🧵

@POTUS Great! Now do it with car manufacturers like @GM and @Ford and their ridiculous ads that do not apply to 99% of consumers.

I’m proud that my Administration has taken on price gouging by cracking down on hidden junk fees like surprise overdraft and deposit fees, credit card late fees, and hotel booking fees. They add up. And the American people were sick of being played for suckers.

@Delta just completed my 4th flight this Dec, and all 4 had unacceptable seat cushions causing pain and lower limb numbness for hours even after arrival. There is no resiliency, the foam was permanently compressed. What is your field maintenence schedule and procedure for seats?

@ChrisDJackson @CarterlandMovie Just watched it for a second time on a Delta flight today. Sadly, that's the only place I can find it.

Does anyone know how to watch the @CarterlandMovie? 🤷

Thank you for the advice, @mikemorrison

Chewy made it safely to Florida, all the way from @KetteringU, in his bilateral hip spica cast! #InjuryFree2024 #betterposter

@mrcheshire @dieworkwear First thing I noticed as well.

@dieworkwear he is also sitting in an M series 3 BMW - the stripes on the headrest give it away

This is incorrect and shows how little the average person knows about garment manufacturing. 🧵

1) I think generally healthy/abled people often feel better when they workout so they offer this advice to chronically ill/disabled people thinking we will get the same results. The harsh reality is that a lot of chronically ill/disabled/chronic pain patients

@Alina_MSN_RN Yes. At least once or twice a day for the past 3 years.

#longcovid has anyone had a symptom where you feel like if you don't remind your body to breathe you won't breathe?

@ProfessorKBB That’s so smart! I usually just had a clean outfit always waiting by my apartment door and would immediately change and throw clothes in the laundry. Your way sounds easier!

When I say I live my life upside down - I really mean it! I’m mostly bedbound now - but when I was still trying to exist in public I would frequently sit or lie down everywhere and anywhere. That’s life with POTS - you either get down voluntarily or your body forces you 🧵/1

I'm at @SAEIntl WCX today. My #AutoDrive students gave their presentation for the Mobility Innovation Challenge, on how to make autonomous vehicles accessible for people who are deaf or hearing-impaired. I'm proud of all their hard work!

Any good suggestions for kids toys for 4+yo that teach coding or similar?
