The Bee’s Knees

Today, I saw I new orthopedist and he actually gets Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome! And understands that I don’t want to wait until I’m 60 to be able to walk more than a mile!

My fantastic physical therapist, Teresa Swango, recommended this new orthopedist, Dr. Klinge. They are both part of the Lahey Health system in Massachusetts. I’m excited about our plan:

1. New MRI
2. Arthroscopic cartilage clean-up and/or …
3. Kneecap replacement and ligament strengthening

I’m slowly becoming bionic! I started with my left ear. Then my left foot. Then my left breast (well, there’s a metal tracking clip in a fibroadenoma, not exactly bionic).

I don’t want to jump into surgery on my knee, but it’s a relief to have a medical provider who understands that I want to improve my quality of life. I want to dance again at Heroes!
