I'm tired of trying to explain to people my diagnoses and how they affect me, even though I look all right.

I had my Tethered Cord Surgery on September 14th. It is both better and worse post-op than I expected. The hospital experience was hellishly painful, but since arriving home, I’m moving around better than I expected. I am more fatigued and more in pain than I remember being after my C1-C2 fusion (although almost 3 years might have softened the memory). Bowel and bladder seem better, but I am concerned with some heaviness in my legs and some discomfort in my hips like that pre-surgery. The real test for my walking will be leaving the house for my follow-up with my neurosurgeon. For those who have also had tethered cord release surgery: how did it improve your symptoms and how soon did you notice improvement? Did it take a while for the full effect to be seen? I know that there was always the chance of some of the neurological symptoms becoming permanent, but I hope that this is not the case here. I’d welcome any input/ would appreciate hearing your experience with tethered cord release surgery; I believe my was L5-S1 and I had an occult tethered cord, if that helps. God bless… #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #tetheredcordreleasesurgery tetheredciresurgery #laminectomy

Thoughts on going back to school ? I asked my daughter to comment on the pro and cons. "So far, my back to school experience has been virtual, as most of the schools are. Its been challenging, but intriguing to find out how to use different apps, and technologies so that I can continue school virtually. This virtual school actually makes it a lot easier for me personally. I honestly prefer virtual learning, other than the fact that I don't see my friends. Since going virtual, it helps a lot with my pain, since I can sit at the comfort of my home without having to climb stairs or walk from and to different classes. Another helpful part of virtual learning for me is how I have so much flexibility to attend my physical therapy and laser therapy. This is mostly why I love taking part in virtual learning! as frustrating as it may be, the best this I can do is stay virtual to keep myself and everybody else safe". I think that having the option of virtual is a good option for a kid with a medical condition.
