Pop Culture + Chronic Illness

Kneecap replacement/MPFL reconstruction (end of) week 2! I’m getting used to peg-legging it around. My mood is stabilizing.

Sleeping is getting easier. I got a new pillow that was recommended by a fellow Ehlers-Danlos syndrome person and my neck feels sooooo much better. I have to sleep on my back and my neck was just lolling and hyperextending all over the place. The new pillow seems like a game changer.

I wish I could figure out a way to lessen the irritation on my legs from the locked Bledsoe brace. There’s a part that is denting the inside of my upper thigh on the non-surgical leg. I see the surgeon on Monday, so I’ll ask for tips then.

This cat though. She and my partner, Jon, are just magical. I’m a lucky girl.
