I think we can safely assume that Gawd does not want me to exercise. We can start with the last time I tried to start eating healthy, and wound up in a hospital on a restricted diet, for ‘unrelated reasons’. For a couple weeks, I’ve been considering getting back into Continue Reading
I just threw away $600. Sort of. I finally tossed out my leftover Lovenox syringes. After paying $1,200 for the full prescription, (no insurance), I had some difficulty with the idea of throwing away half of them when I didn’t need them. I knew there was no way I’d ever Continue Reading
I guess I have lost weight again. I was a little worried, with the way I’d been eating lately, that I might start putting weight back on. A couple years ago, health problems had caused me to lose weight, which once it stabilized, was a good thing. But now, I Continue Reading
Today was a good day.
Last September, when I was checking out of the hospital, the doctors mentioned in passing that whole testing me for everything under the sun, they also saw something in my other lung. They didn’t know what it was. But they were “fairly certian it’s nothing”. Just in case, though, I should have it checked out again in about a year.
So while being able to walk and stand and breath again was all good, I’ve spent the last year wondering if I was just getting better so I could die of lung cancer.
Thanks to everyone who came out to RFD tonight, for the mini-celebration. I took my last pill over dinner. Thanks to everyone who helped me and offered kind words or entertainment while I was less-than-optimal. Thanks to Bryan and Sarah for rides to and from the hospital, and waiting for Continue Reading
I’ve been thinking the last few days about hospitals and doctors and mortality and all that. It kind of freaked me out, and surprised me when I realized last night that in my core family of 4 people, 3 of us had unrelated life-threatening conditions in the last six months. Continue Reading
It’s stupid. There’s nothing about being sick that isn’t ridiculous or stupid. I get struck out of nowhere with a condition abnormal for someone in my age and fitness, and the doctor’s can find any cause. And it can’t just be a run of the mill thing. It’s got to Continue Reading

I just stabbed myself in the stomach for the first time at home. These tiny little needles, that cost ohhhhhh so fucking much money. See, earlier this week, while out with friends, my shoulder and side started to bother me. Not particularly bad, but uncomfortable. For all I knew, I Continue Reading
The sun has finally come back. It brings a different air to the day. When the businesses all close, and the nightlife starts to grow, and the sun hasn’t set yet, life seems a lot less hectic and much more fun. Warm weather, humidity, and sunburns are surely just a Continue Reading
The only problem with drinking all this water that’s supposed to be so good for you is that you constantly need to pee.
Yes I went to the doctor today. It all resulted in a thinner wallet, a new gel splint, and appointments for Physical Therapy (cause god knows the weekend I spent sitting on my ass left me forgetting how to walk).
Ive been sitting on my ass too long. Didn’t even have a real weekend, stuck in the apartment the whole time with my fractured ankle.I may lead a quiet life normally, but this is fuckin ridiculous.
