I started this Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome blog in 2012 to keep motivated. It served its purpose in that regard. My favorite college professor who has written text books on Medical Ethics and fictional novels has read it and encouraged me to write a book. His advice means the world to me. I feel too green to write a book. I'd like to live more, become a parent and really discover what I have to offer the world. 2015 is going to be about beginning to find my voice.

Travel
Arrived home a few days ago from a Caribbean cruise. The cruise was amazing! 4 excursions over one week. Glad to be back though.
Does anyone else feel like travel is incredibly overwhelming?
I had my own pillow, but the bed was less than adequate. I feel like a hard bed just pushes against every joint in my body and causes everything to dislocate/sublux. It's a nice surprise to wake up and at every movement feel something pop. I describe my shoulders and clavicles popping back in like, "being punched in the shoulder from the inside." I always worry beforehand about those kind of accommodations. All-in-all, I think it went well. By the 3rd excursion day, we nixed the kayaking and snorkeling for a day of lounging at the beach and I got a massage by one of the locals. We did the same thing the 4th day, although I probably should have resisted flinging myself onto and inflatable and racing to the top.
Today, I'm topping off my vacation with a raging sinus infection and I can't tell if the dizziness is from the sinuses, my neck, the baseline dizziness that I've always had worsening or the ship. Let's call it the ship for now and not worry!
Lots of rest before back to work this week and then, next week, back to my usual PT and workouts.
