After a failed attempt last month to have a discussion with my headache specialist regarding my migraines getting worse, today was my first successful Telehealth discussion, and it felt good. Really good. If you have a doctor who actually cares, regardless of their field, this is not a difficult process. However, it has lead me … Continue reading Telehealth and A Scheduled Appointment
Poison In Lethal Doses
Out Of Order
This is my self-portrait at the moment. I genuinely wish I had more to offer today, but my pain levels are sky-high and my doctor has decided that he won't be treating my pain after all. This agitates me to be told one thing and have another thing entirely occur. It also means I will … Continue reading Out Of Order
Current Mood: Disturbed
It's disconcerting to know that the state of Georgia has decided to reopen and force people back to work, in what will almost certainly be an issue with mass casualties. Just because your state hasn't seen New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington State, Italy, Spain, or China numbers does NOT mean you are safe and … Continue reading Current Mood: Disturbed
Confrontation
Anyone who has read my work for more than a month or two can likely tell you basic things about my character. My friends can tell you precisely who I am and what I stand for. My own brother has described me as, "The last person I ever want to disappoint because you're scarier than … Continue reading Confrontation
A Splash of Humor, A Heap of Honesty
Started a post early this morning that isn't done yet. When a migraine threatens to birth enormous puppies of agonizing torture through your skull, you need to sleep and hope it'll help. Unfortunately, I woke up and it was worse, so I left a message for my doctor's office to get back to me. My … Continue reading A Splash of Humor, A Heap of Honesty
Apparently, We’re Doing Odd Miracles This Week
After folding clothes, tossing things, setting things aside for another time, and searching high and low, I finally locate the missing cord. I didn't scream, "YES!" like I wanted to because someone else is now doing the whole, "Work from home" thing and I am trying to be quiet, out of the way, and respectful. … Continue reading Apparently, We’re Doing Odd Miracles This Week
Seriously?!
Today was a rough one for me. I did what I could (which was very little. I ended up going back to sleep out of sheer stress and frustration, paired with poor sleep and nightmares.), made a great dinner, and when it came time to backing my laptop up, guess who couldn't find the second … Continue reading Seriously?!
Super Tuesday
I took the morning to research a little more into who I inevitably chose to vote for tonight in the #MassachusettsPrimary. I had to consider my values into the checklist and see if anyone could meet even 60% of what's important to me, from A to Z. 🚫 I will NOT publicly endorse anyone, EVER. I don't … Continue reading Super Tuesday
I’m Awake
I'm not sure what I did to deserve intense sunshine this morning, but it somehow encouraged the migraine I woke up with. By "encourage", I mean it made me ten times sicker than I thought possible. Reluctantly took Relpax. The problem with the generic version of this medication is that the side effects can give … Continue reading I’m Awake
14 February 2020
It's been an insane week for me health-wise. I was trying so hard to be positive (and remain positive. This is easier said than done.), but I have so much information I need to process and this will take time. I owe myself that before I talk about it. I was fine-ish, until I got … Continue reading 14 February 2020
