Life is Hard, Yard by Yard...

But inch by inch it's a cinch....(taking things one day/minute at a time).

Today was my first day of classes for the Spring semester. I am taking 3 campus classes and one online. My professors are great, the classes are interesting, yet I am beyond exhausted and in pain. My right shoulder dislocated twice. I have no idea how I am going to make it through the semester but I just have to keep chuggin' along.

The headaches I have had since August are definitely getting worse again. I was wearing sunglasses for awhile because I was very sensitive to light, but now my vision is darker. When I am not wearing sunglasses, I see everything as if I am wearing them. I can't wear them anymore because then it just makes it extra dark. Strange. I see the craniocervical manipulation specialist on Tuesday. Hopefully that provides some relief. Perhaps he can shed some light on the issue.

I am having horrible and random lightning bolt nerve pain in my knee. It is likely my nerves firing again and returning back to normal. Although the process is quite painful and unexpected.

I am waiting to hear back from Dr. Shiple. I need a new post-op knee brace. I am having a problem with the straps (they are cut too short). The brace slides down my leg all day. Seeing as I need my knee to be locked in extension and stable, I need a brace that stays on.

I also made a shirt on zazzle... Front: "My joints go out more than I do" Back: "Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Awareness" with a zebra! I am still working on the final touches and details but I will post a picture when it is done.

Also, the Bruins need to start playing better because they are stressing me out.
