Another Coincidence

It's my year for coincidences:  through a mutual friend, I just got in contact with a woman with an L5-SI 1 disc herniation who is also completely unable to sit or drive and is homebound with a young child--and she's hyperflexible, too!  We exchanged some email and then spoke on the phone for an hour, comparing notes, tests, treatments, doctors, mothering through pain.  It's fascinating to have someone where I am. I thought I was the only one in this very odd situation.  I'm sorry for her but happy for me!
