So you may have seen the post back in March about the Life as a Zebra Documentary that was released. You may have even watched it…related to it in some way…or even learned something.

For the month of February, I was followed by cameras as Max, the reporter, documented my life with EDS and POTS. 

1.  Medical Stuff:

• 1 Day of PT.  It was my last appointment in the building I have gone to for 3 years.  My next session is in their brand new facility.  Can’t wait to see it!
• 2 Days of Home Rehab.
• No doctors this week.

Allie and I have danced together since the time she could walk.

We have continued to dance through gymnastics.  Through celebrations.  Weddings.  Funerals.  Sicknesses.  Concerts.  Recovery.

Prolotherapy, round #Ihavelostcount.

Thursday marked nine weeks since I had my last prolotherapy injections.  That is the longest I have gone since I started, and I think it was a couple of weeks too long.  The two weeks leading up to my appointment, I was dealing with some major neck and shoulder pain…to the point that I was sleeping with my trusty rice heating pads again.  Needless to say, I was ready to get in the car and make our way to Dr. Cantieri’s office.

There’s always an air of excitement when it is time for me to return to Toledo to either see Bev or Dr. Grubb.  I think it’s because it took so long for me to get into them, knowing that they are two of the best Dysautonomia experts in the world.  Call it hope, call it an understanding, call it an appreciation for doctors who care and “get it”…call it what you will, but it never seems like a chore to travel to Toledo to see these two incredible doctors and people.
