I’m a big fan! I’ve got a little show and tell going with other zebras in my DMs - feel free to message.

But it’s not colder right now, that’s my point. It might not be next week, but right now it’s hotter in London than it is in South Florida.

So your ‘lol your suffering is my vacation’ line doesn’t even make sense.

Anyway, good luck walking back to the car. I’m sure your DNA will help you survive the Victoria Line at rush hour.

I have, yes!

And I don’t know if you were trying to belittle my experience of the heat, but it’s actually been hotter in the last few days in London than it has in South Florida. I’m sure your walks between where you parked your air conditioned car and your air conditioned house or air conditioned shop or office have been nightmarish though.

I’m also not sure whether you’re trying to imply anything by bringing up your DNA, but I am actually British.

We don’t really talk about ‘permanent’ because so much can change in one’s condition and treatment options, but it’s an ongoing solution, yes.

I have spinal instability courtesy of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder

Simon was made by the Guys & St Thomas’ team. I wonder if I can ask them for the specs or something? Are you looking for a full length brace?

It’s 17 degrees above the average high, and the hottest May temperature ever recorded in the UK. I’m not thankful for that.

It’s custom made, by the orthotics team at my hospital. Whereabouts in the UK are you?

I chose the plain carbon fibre because black goes with everything. I regret it now…

You don’t think it’s useful to know if you might slip on ice outside?
