Bill Klein says little people deal with lots of ‘heavy sh*t’

In his Instagram update, Bill Klein also revealed he got a lot of messages from people asking what was going on with his wife Jen. He explained that she had hip replacement surgery over 20 years ago. The replacement failed (which sometimes happens) and she needed revision surgery.

The caption of his Instagram post shifted a bit after that as he noted that as little people, he and his wife deal with a lot of “heavy sh*t” all the time.

He penned: “Being an LP is a lot more than dealing with the pointing and staring…not that I would mind that crap stopping completely too… for our kids sake if nothing else.”

“But we deal with some heavy sh*t almost every year, for the better part of our lives.” Bill Klein continued.

Other members of the LP community related

In the comments of his post, there were a lot of members of the LP community that found his post to be super relatable. In addition to praising him and his wife on being brave, here’s what some of his followers had to say in the comments:

  • “As the parent of a child with #diastrophicdysplasia I can attest to this. Every year there is a major surgery. But- it makes us appreciate the everyday things even more. AND seeing successful adult LPs like you all also helps remind us it will pay off.”
  • “As a fellow LP this sh*t is intense and constant… glad she’s doing well!”

Even parents of children with other medical disabilities found the post to be extremely relatable and appreciated it.
