My friend said I could play pickleball and I didnt really want to but look at me!!! Pickleball is easier than tennis? #disability #disabilitytiktok #pickleball

I’m 17 and have had 33 surgeries and I have many more upcoming. My next and biggest one is a jaw surgery that would help me open my mouth wider. As it is now, its hard for me to eat and it takes forever due to my jaw not being able to open very wide. It also hurts my speech. I dont really want to get this surgery because the recovery is very long and painful and actually they aren’t sure if it will get the results we want. But I do have to try at least. I am not sure on the best time to have this surgery either and that is something I’m talking with my parents about a lot. My senior year is coming up sooo….

My mom is 100%native which makes me 50% native. Have you ever been to a POWWOW?? My mom takes them seriously and she is NOT giving up her heritage. Which means neither am I.🤷🏼‍♀️
