For the first time y'all are hearing from me directly. I hope I can be half as entertaining and informative as Bobby. Forgive me if I repeat him from earlier posts. Life is getting somewhat back to normal. As normal as life can be for someone with Chiari 0, platabaysia, basilar invagination and ehlers danlos syndrome. Didn't realize how much I appreciate driving for myself. Access-a-ride was a great service, but there is nothing like going where you want, when you want and with whom you want. I feel like I have lost 2 summers in a row. When I went in the hospital it was spring, when I got out it was full on summer. Now that I am back to work fall is just around the corner. I went back part time on Monday and hope to be up to full time by the end of August. When I got home from working 4 hours I slept for 2. My coworkers have been more supportive than anyone could hope for. The headache continues...and continues...and continues. The doc says he is not supprised, be patient. Other than being headache free I don't know what else to wish for. Progress for rest thus far...well...the right foot and left hand have begun to get the train with the rest of me and not have minds of their own. The world famous Dr. O suggested I start knitting to help get the left hand on board I had to tell him I had already started this last year when she was doing more and more her own thing. Another MRI, I have lost track of how many this makes, and another doctor appt on Monday the 13th. Cross you fingers and continue those prayers and positive thoughts, I can use every one :)

Hi Sharon ~ thanks for visiting my blog ~ life with Chiari is nutty ~ Blogging has been my salvation as a place to vent and let my brain tail spill out all kinds of strange topics ~ but it's working for me and I have met some really neat blog buddies out there in cyber space who also have Chiari. I will read your whole blog soon, but it looks like you are on the mend. ~ Lace
