What is POTS?

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a form of autonomic dysfunction. In other words, the part of your nervous system that controls all involuntary functions (breathing, digestion, heart rate, etc) has decided to rebel and you are now in a civil war with your body.

This week marks two years since my life began on a new course. Two years since I got POTS but also two years since I realized strength comes in many forms and that even though dreams may have to change, it doesn’t mean life has to be any less meaningful. Happy Saturday y’all <3

Moms are pretty cool <3

2018 >>>> 2017. This year was a massive step for the Heidi comeback journey. I got to attend two weddings, meet two nephews (one being Winston), get an amazing new roommate, be able to row, be able to live alone, be able to eat some sweets again, start a bookclub, start a blog, be able to laugh again without my heart flipping out, pass my EMT recertification, go to two concerts, teach my student life skills, vote, talk to my grandpa for the first time in years (cochlear implant), meet some amazing new friends, become a massive Attack on Titan fan, and listen to the same CD for an absurd amount of time in my car. Super stoked to see what 2019 brings. Happy New Years y’all!
