My Soul

My Soul hurts as today, June 14th 2025, marks one year since my Chewy has been gone. I know he isn’t hurting anymore. He isn’t suffering from the agressive cancer that ravaged his body, but it hurts so much that it is hard to even explain. His loss has changed me. I love dogs but it has left me no wanting to “fill that hole”. I hope those of you reading this understand what I…

Consult for Laser Therapy

Originally posted 2021-08-26 09:00:00. I had a physical done this morning with my primary doctor. I brought up the issue of repeated …dare I say…boils. I hate these f’n things with a passion. I suffer from Hidradenitis suppurativa and some days the flair ups are worse than others. I do not shave and in full disclosure I have to use tweezers to pull any unwanted hair to help prevent any boils in that hair follicle.…

So, now we are going to try an epidural to help. I can’t…

Comfortably Numb

Originally posted 2020-02-29 08:32:10. This is where I am right now. As much as I smile to hide through the pain this is me. I will admit it. It’s like I am almost not even feeling things the way I would normally. Am I depressed? Maybe so. I am not suicidal even though I will admit that after my momma’s passing all I wanted to do was be with her. The moment she passed I…

Iced Donut

Originally posted 2023-06-03 17:08:39. This surgery seems to start off a bit different. Now… this may be too much info but majority of my netheregions is purple. This is what I have to sit on to be semi comfortable. I didn’t realize I needed to relive having a monthly cycle. 😩 I have cramps without the rest of it. I’m not exactly sure why I have cramps. I mean they moved my bladder I get…
