Em”brace”ing life
I made a pun, on purpose! Most of the time I don’t even realize I’ve made a pun until my husband starts laughing. But that’s not why I’m writing this post. Braces (the body kind, not the teeth kind) have been part of my life since I was 12. I have quite the collection of…

Grief
I wrote this in the middle of the night almost 2 months ago at one of the lowest points in my journey. I had multiple diagnosis via blood work and imaging, but had yet to talk to the Dr and come up with a game plan for treatment. I am in a much better place…

If they eye offend thee pluck it out, or in my case it was my uterus
I had a hysterectomy yesterday. It’s been in the works for almost 9 months, well really almost a year and a half now. When crap hit the fan in 2023, one of the things I wanted was a hysterectomy just so that my period, which has been painful for years, was one last thing I…

Learning how my muscles work
Have you ever known you were doing something wrong, but no one has been able to tell you how to do it right? I have, especially with exercise and posture. Last year I went to a migraine clinic that worked a multiple prong approach. Parts of it worked, but one part didn’t, and that was…

Genetics
Genetics…. The gift that keeps giving. Today I am sitting at the physical therapist with my daughter. She is here to help with pain from joint instability due to hypermobility. Yay! (That’s sarcasm in case you didn’t know). There are moments as a mother where I feel horrible for passing on my less than stellar…

Story Time
I’m sharing a funny story because sometimes you just have to laugh at the things kids do even if it drives you insane. My oldest hates sudden loud noises. We’ve already established that in a previous post. One sudden loud noise she struggles with is when her baby sister cries. How does she deal with…

I’m so cold!
I HATE WINTER! I could just leave my post at that and it would sum up my life right now. I (unofficially diagnosed, because I don’t get diagnosed until I’m dying) have Reynaud ‘s Syndrome. Basically if my hands or feet get cold the small blood vessels in the skin narrow and my hands and…
