As expected, I'm in a ton of pain right now. I have some impressive bruises, too. It's snowing here today (a rare thing) and while it's pretty, the cold and pressure changes are making my joints ache. Saturday was the worst. The slightest movement caused massive amounts of pain and I haven't been able to sleep much.
I've spent the last two days laying in bed, soaking in Epsom salt, fielding phone calls & watching cheesy horror films. The Epsom salt baths don't really seem to help much. They're good for minor muscle pain, but not Ehlers Danlos Syndrome + accident pain. When I do manage to fall asleep, I wake up from dreams that people are trying to rip my joints apart or jamming evil looking serrated knifes in my joints. That's the best way to describe the pain.
One positive to come out of this is my cousin is coming to visit. My Aunt G thought it would be nice to make some food for me & have my cousin bring it down so I have someone here while the Mr. is at work. My overly dramatic Aunt M threatened to come down as well, but we talked her out of it. Phew! Aunt G asked M if she'd like to make something too & M blew everything out of proportion. She likes attention and had me added to the "Prayers for the Sick" list at Mass. Former neighbors & other family members have been calling all day. I'm sure by now all of Pittsburgh knows about it or at least the mutated version of what "happened."
