What do you even say to someone when they ask “What happened to your knee?”. I never know how to respond because it’s just genetics but if I say that they always start profusely apologizing for asking!
I used to say my joints are loose, which they sre, and I’ll say I have EDs. It was easier to explain, than: It’s a connective tissue disorder, and so on..
When they start apologizing, “I say don't be! I love educating people and spread of awareness.” (but only say that is you do)
If not, or I a not in the mood, I would say, “oh, you know, shit happens” usually, I get a laugh as they drop it.
