via Daily Prompt: Subdued This is a republish from a month ago…I published it and then it somehow unpublished itself back into my drafts…so here’s a post from the middle of October! I’ve been quite subdued this week. The Google definition of subdued is “quiet and rather reflective or depressed.” I really can’t think…
My health insurance company is going to hate me by the time this year is over. Fingers crossed that this means next year will be a tamer year as far as medical procedures go. Yesterday I had my appointment with Dr. Bain, the neurovascular surgeon my case was referred to at the end of August…
via Daily Prompt: Waiting Sometimes I feel like that’s all I do. Wait. The life of a person with chronic illness is full of waiting.
via Daily Prompt: Trust I have trust issues. With my body and health in particular. But is it any wonder? Considering all the health disasters I’ve had this year, I don’t trust my body as far as I could throw myself. I’ve had enough issues, it’s hard to trust that I’ll ever really be…
It’s 7 am, but still pitch black outside. Such is October. Sunrise isn’t for another half hour. I’m not in the best of moods this morning. While I sort of successfully got my sleep switched over so I’m not awake all night, now I can’t sleep for more than 2-3 hours at a time,…
Some days I amaze myself. And I’m actually able to do a thing. But today I sort of had to, so I’m not sure if it really counts as a thing. And yet, I’m exhausted enough now that I think it does count. Well then.
I was supposed to be normal today (well, now yesterday, I suppose…) I was supposed to go to the Skillet concert with David and my endo sister April and her daughter. We had box seats and everything. Sort of an early birthday present. I love Skillet and I’ve never had the chance to see…
I think the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon is particularly fitting given the type of surgery I had and the risk for a CSF (“brain lubricant”) leak! ? This is probably going to be very befuddled because I only slept for two hours this morning before having to get up and go to my follow-up…
I wonder what it’s going to be like to feel better. That is, totally and completely better. What does it feel like to not have a headache every second of every day? I can’t recall. Or to have energy, where I don’t have to fight with myself and give myself a pep talk just…
I’ve heard the stories, and I’m sure some of you have as well. Every now and then, someone in one of my Facebook support groups will post the news that her significant other is leaving because he or she can’t deal with her chronic illness. Sometimes this is a breakup; other times it means…
