“We believe wheelchair users should have access to the same styles and trends everyone else has, without ever having to compromise comfort.
Our clothing has signature cuts and styles to fit a seated body shape, falling and draping naturally without interfering with wheelchair mechanics. We use top-quality fabrics that look beautiful and feel luxurious.
Our Easy Zip Back option in coats is just one way that we’re making layering up and staying warm easier than ever. Discreet zippers in the back mean that Easy Zip Back coats separate into two individual pieces.
Our signature ‘L-Shape’ means that IZ coats have the length you need over your lap while looking sleek and clean so you don’t sacrifice your style.”
The IZ Collection goes up to a 2X and has a wide range of masculine and feminine clothes.
They look gorgeous, but be prepared. They are expensive.
Carrie Fisher and Gary – Star Wars: The Force Awakens Premiere at Leicester Square on December 16, 2015 in London.
So, this is important. Carrie Fisher has an invisible illness and disability – severe mental illness – and she’s been really open about it. Open to the point where she has her service animal Gary out on the press tours.
Yeah, a service animal. Not a guide dog, a therapy dog. Fisher has almost died because of her illness – and the reason she could DO Star Wars is because she has accommodations that work for her.
Everyone is talking about how Gary has stolen the show – but he is *important*. He is working. He is what she needs to go out and do this shit.
Next time someone with a disability asks for you to do something simple to accommodate them I want you to think of this. This is Princess Leia and this is her accommodation for her illness.
Ten years ago, I was about to get sick I cannot remember it I cannot remember waking up at 7am, 5 days in a row Week after week after week I don’t remember if it was easy but I remember it was possible I cannot remember when nothing ached When if I didn’t walk, it was because I was lazy Not because I couldn’t
I cannot remember When taking a shower Was relaxing Instead of exhausting
I cannot remember When I wasn’t a burden When I was fun And energetic And up for anything And no one had to slow down or miss out Because of me
I cannot remember How it is to remember When I didn’t need to write anything down And didn’t break promises And didn’t forget my own name When I knew all the words I needed When everyone said How eloquent I was I can remember everyone said it But I can’t remember being it
I cannot remember Being upright all day And never lying down Or counting the hours From painkiller to painkiller
I cannot remember Reading page after page for hours For fun And understanding every word Without reading a line twice over Or three times, or five And without feeling like a failure
I cannot remember No pain I cannot remember it What did I do? Did I walk faster? Or further? Did I stay out all night? Or did I just sit around? Without knowing that one day Just sitting around would be all there was And even then The pain wouldn’t end
I cannot remember Having energy instead of pain I cannot remember Concentration and memory And still knowing how my sentence had started When I got to the end
Two thirds of my life, I was healthy And I cannot remember
