I am so sorry to hear about your MIL Jen. I will pray for her. You sound just like me. I can be left alone for a length of time because I require so much help. It is a big source of guilt for me, and a fear. I used to be a very independent person and never asked help from anyone. Now I don’t recognize who I am anymore. I can’t handle a long car trip either. I spend most of my day laying down, and like you if I push myself I pay for it for days. (pushing myself is hardly anything). I hope your MIL recovers completely. This has to be very hard for your husband and you. Life can be so difficult and family is a gift. I know this has to be hard that your body won’t let you travel to be with her and your husband. Make her a video sending your love. I did that last week when my uncle was in the hospital. He really appreciated it. ((Hugs)) as y’all are dealing with all of this.

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
