Hello everyone! Long time no post, it’s been crazy. In the first half of July, happy things kept happening. On July 2, I saw the cardiologist, since the PCP had previously given me some bad news about my heart. Well, the cardiologist looked at everything and declared it all to be a false alarm; my…

Yeah, it’s been pretty painful. Just one week ago, I was so hopeful going into the procedure. They had to put a stent in my right ureter. The last time this happened, I didn’t know that I was supposed to limit activity afterwards. So I was walking three miles each way to my highly-physical job…

Well. I’m here awaiting a procedure. They’re planning on doing lithotripsy and placing another stent for my right kidney. I am incredibly frustrated because I thought the stone would just pass by itself, but here we are. So, I thought I would type out my plan for my life, because why not? I definitely feel…

Well, just to start off, I want to reassure my longtime followers that I am okay. Things in my life were extremely rocky for a while there but I am happy to report that I am alive and figuring things out. Aside from the fact that apparently my heart is going to shut off in…

Well, this is the redacted letter I got today from the PCP. As background, the medications listed are all in the same class, which my insurance won’t pay for. I was stable on semaglutide (which is in this class) for years, but, you know… it’s expensive. So when my insurance changed, they kicked me off,…

So, in the interest of avoiding clickbait, I’m not like immediately about to die; the guy gave me 30 years. It just sucks because that would put me dying at 65. Anyway, I had a check-up with the PCP today. It had been on the calendar forever, so I had a list of topics that…

I sleep with a CPAP machine. Sleep apnea runs in my family, but was probably brought on earlier in life for me due to the medications I have to take to survive my day-to-day with PTSD. Sleeping without the CPAP is like not sleeping- it takes time, but it isn’t restorative. The problem is, I’ve…

I mentioned in my last entry that I had a dream that things were okay and it was hard to wake up from. What I didn’t mention is that this has been a recurring dream my entire adult life. Sometimes I get it once every week or two, sometimes it’s basically every night. Right now,…

BFI. (2017, July 14). This Week: Homosexuals (1964) – extract [YouTube video]. Retrieved April 26, 2024 from https://youtu.be/6PBZQJb_7QI I saw this video recently from the British Film Institute, and it was weirdly validating. It was originally recorded in 1964, when apparently it was illegal to be gay in Britain. So they interview this gay guy,…

Hello! Long time no blog! I always make sure I have at least one entry per calendar month, so this month was cutting it close. I was short on time so I made this vlog/podcast. It came out really long but it’s been two months, and I’m not usually known for my few words. Digital…
