Enjoy. Windy with off and on spits of rain here. Raw 50F

Daughter made good strides over the last 2 day. Was able to get out of bed, sit up, go to the bathroom, and walk dow the corridor a bit. She’s being discharged today.

Today is epitome of grade A spring shit.

Thanks Brian. It’s been a long journey. The tethered cord is a condition that can happen in people with her condition. She was finally diagnosed about a year ago with EDS - Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. She also has POTS and MCAS. For those who don’t know what these all are, here it is in a snippet. EDS - Ehlers Danlos Syndrome is a connective tissue disorder that causes hyper mobility and other connective tissue issues. This is the scary one that has a high morbidity to it to those with more severe cases. She is lucky hers is on the milder spectrum but debilitating nonetheless. MCAS - Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and certain things can trigger your mast cells to activate and it causes a whole. It cause rashes and allergic responses. POTS or Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is a nervous system disorder that cause dizziness/fainting and elevated heart rate. Come to find out these 3 disorders are pretty commonly diagnosed together. She’s struggled in the last several years to do anything. Her joints are those of someone in there 60s/70s. She can get around a bit at home but she uses either a walker or a wheelchair when she’s out and about. It’s been hard to see all this take so long to get diagnosed.

Raw afternoon. Showers and bit of a breeze. Low 50s.

Just been a tedious stretch. Need to reshuffle the deck. Does look promising for sustained warmer anomalies by mid month.

Thanks for the kind words.

Daughter just had her 2nd surgery in a little over a month. 1st was a cholecystectomy. Ended up showing it was partially nectoetized. Scary. 2nd surgery was scheduled. Spinal surgery for tethered cord. This should alleviate many if here strength and pain issues. Sad it took us close to 8yrs to get this diagnosed. 1st day post surgery she had to remain prone. Yesterday was 1st day to attempt to sit up. Was rough. Went dizzy, lost vision and hearing and had to lie back down. Also got a spinal induced migraine. See what today brings. Optimistic she’ll be able to come home tomorrow or Monday depending on how physical therapy session show her progressing back to some level of basic activities.

Not too bad of a start though. Breaks of sun before overcast rolled in. Line looks broken so maybe we salvage a not so bad a day.

Nice rains today. Peepers are still lit in force. Been going off every night now for a month. Im done with these 40s and 50s. Want more consistent 60s with some 70s thrown in the mix now.

2mo into spring and no thread.

Kinda chilly out there. Upper 40s.

Ahhh, reminiscing. 1 of 2 20”+ storms this year.
