8. All the up, down, shimmying on the ground, pushing, pulling, reaching, bending, lifting and twisting had two bad consequences: A.) My knee blew up like a sagging water balloon and is incredibly painful and unwalkable right now. B.) All this heavy physical activity thoroughly exhausted me into really low calcium. I’m back home and having bad spasms and tingling. Such is the life of a Hypopara. Also, it’s a really good reminder of why we OVERbuilt this van: because I have unique medical needs and each element was designed to keep me alive, not just comfortable. If the bed had been working, I would’ve chewed a Tums and laid down for a nap until I recovered. When it’s all functioning as designed, that’s exactly what I’ll do when I need to do it.
