Chronic Living

Originally posted 2022-02-24 09:00:45. Living with someone with Chronic Pain/Illness. Everyday is a struggle. You have to sit back and witness the person you love in pain, often with no solution, no answers, and no end in sight. It’s never ending doctor’s appointments. It’s watching them lose everything, including their hobbies, their happiness, and their joy. It’s waking up in pain, not knowing if it’s going to ease or get worse. It’s having to get…

Isn’t funny how dating when you’re married can be 30 minutes of a quick bite on the way home from doctor’s appointments… Yep that was our “date night” yesterday.Quick but enjoyable. The food was lacking but the quick conversion was all that mattered.We had to stop by Lowe’s home improvements to get a few things. Then Cicis pizza was in the lot next door so we quickly decided to go knowing…

May or may not

Originally posted 2022-01-31 09:00:25. Shop gifts for every occasion at Groupon So I saw the oculoplastic surgeon that performed my tear duct bypass. The swelling in my face and around my eye was minimal compared to the first few days. It’s like I did a stay at home/DIY ballooning of my sinuses 🤣. My momma had the balloon thing done a couple of times to her sinuses since she had chronic sinus issues. I haven’t…

Second Infusion

Had my second infusion this morning. I figured I would be ok to drive myself afterwards so I didn’t ask anyone for help. Wellllll…. maybe I should have. The infusion went without a hitch. Only issue was there was someone doing maintenance in the building and the guy was doing something to the bathroom ceiling and when he did he created sheetrock dust. That sheetrock dust went all over the toilet, toiletpaper, etc. I didn’t…

One-eyed Willie

Originally posted 2022-01-12 09:00:19. I feel like I look like One-eyed Willie from The Goonies. I’m home from my tear duct bypass surgery from yesterday. From what I remember I only had one issue. My blood pressure. It was upwards of 180 over 100 something and they couldn’t get it down. I was hurting so I imagine that’s the culprit. They gave me more medicine in my IV twice and still didn’t budge my blood…

Still Waiting…

Originally posted 2021-12-16 13:25:26. My last post spoke about me being told I needed to have a fusion asap. After the MRI and nerve conduction study I went back to the the orthopedist for a follow up. Well… he left me so confused. He didn’t see the fusion as urgent anymore and then said I needed a carpal tunnel release surgery. I left there so freaking confused. I immediately contacted my pain management docs expressing…
