Otherwise, ENJOY!!
I did explicitly state that you should not misuse the concept of accommodations, but I don't exactly agree with this. Disabilities can be temporary, intermittent, or hidden. I think it is unlikely that you would get prosecuted based solely on one photograph, especially if you have any medical documentation to support your position.
