Awesome Explanation of PCS

The video link I have posted below is exactly how I feel.  People tell me "you look fine" but I am not fine.  They just don't get that my world is spinning all the time.  I want to thank this man for stating this so eloquently.  It's hard to explain to people exactly what this crazy syndrome is and how it works.    This video says it all.  I had to watch it over and over.  This was made for the Neuro 2011 Film Festival.

Update on my sister-in-law:  They did a MRI last night and realized that since this hip injury is an old fracture and her muscles and tendons were shrinking.  So when they operate they will go in and try to see if they are able to stretch them back out again and replace the hip.  If not they will have to repair her hip the "old" way and her one leg will be shorter.  She may require special shoes.  But you know what, that is just fine, she will at least be able to walk.  She has had a tough year with injuries because of the osteoporosis.  She broke 2 vertebrae in her back last summer and her shoulder is dislocated.  They won't operate on her shoulder because she is not in that much pain and the surgery will be too traumatic.  The doctor's also said her shoulder could have been like that for a long time and nobody knew it cause she never complained, poor thing.

Thank you for all the prayers and good thoughts.  Please keep them coming until she is safely out of surgery which we do not know when that will be.
