it's monday night, on a crisp september evening, and i should be with my friends at Jubilate Chorale rehearsal. i am like pavlov's dog- i feel like something is physically missing because i am not there, doing what i love best. i wish everyone a great semester, and i look forward to seeing you all at the concert, but it's just not the same. this diva is feeling very much left behind tonight.
i am the forgotten diva. an authentic, trained mezzo soprano, i am now housebound. i have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type 3 (Hypermobility), a genetic defect of the connective tissues of the body. along with it comes lots of pain- RSD, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and a host of other conditions. i now use a power wheelchair to get around. i used to tour the world, and now i miss just putting on a gown and singing with my friends. i am ever hopeful.
