Greetings, squadlings.
I know. I have been gone for a very long time. Believe it or not, I’ve had absolutely nothing to say.
ANYWAY, I have a post for you.
A few years ago, I wrote a post about a morning with endometriosis, which you can read here: https://sennajandy.wordpress.com/2018/04/10/a-morning-in-the-life-of-endometriosis/.
Now, time has passed, and I get to write a new one: A Day In The Life of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Yee, and I cannot stress this enough, haw.
MONDAY APRIL 12TH, 2021
10AM:
The pain starts in my lower back. Oh goody.
10:23AM:
Time for braces. Ankles and knees go first.
10:28AM:
I start packing up my EDS bucket–extra braces, medical tape, athletic wrap, my glasses, the book I’m reading, heat pads, phone charger, and my finger splints. Then I head downstairs. I lay on the couch on my screen porch, waiting for the sweet release of death.
10:55AM:
Wrist braces go on. The pain is getting worse.
12PM:
Lunch time. I made a grilled cheese. Sitting down. I feel like someone hit me with a truck.
12:30PM:
Finger splints go on.
1PM:
Time to shower before work.
2:35PM:
Time to leave for work.
3:10PM:
Arrive at work. Boss asks “how are you?” I respond, “do you want the honest answer or the lie?”
3:30PM:
Sent home from work. That didn’t take long.
4:15PM:
Bedtime.
5:45PM:
Dinner time.
7PM:
What is this? I can move again?
9:30PM:
And I walk my dog like nothing happened. Pain is 90% gone.
So that’s how I spent my day.
Be well, squadlings.
