I’m disabled but I basically have an invisible disability. I had a brain tumour that’s left me with a plate in my head, short term memory problems, tunnel vision, a bit of slow processing and a weak back. I wear caps when I’m out so most people can’t tell I’ve been ill. I wear the sunflower lanyard in places like the airport.
Pinching this for my brothers birthday 😂
Six years ago today!
