Finally, a rainy day in the midwest. Every year I like to get a new outfit or two to add to my school collection, and cycle out some older things. We do have a tax holiday in Ohio, but Macy’s seems to give things away frequently and today was no different. I wanted to take… Continue reading Shopping in a store is not all it’s cracked up to be…

Assessments and Things
Sometimes squeaky wheels and talking about things get the grease, and that certainly happened after I posted about the Paperwork Blues last week. I finally feel as if things are moving again, even though things are still agonizingly slow. Thing number one is my wheelchair finally got processed to order. I am still awaiting an… Continue reading Assessments and Things
Paperwork Blues
I haven’t written much here on the blog because there hasn’t been much to report. I’ve also been fighting probably my deepest depression since all of this started. It is directly related to the fact that it takes literally forever to get this paperwork sorted so I can get back to my life. I’ve lacked… Continue reading Paperwork Blues
An excursion on my own
Last week during the big heatwave I had my first excursion on my own without my parents around to rescue me since January. I attended the OEA Leadership Summer Conference in Columbus. This was a good test to see if I can function on my own with my new handicapped status, as it was all… Continue reading An excursion on my own
A Long Awaited House Update
While I have been dealing with my slight detour with my health, Ryan Homes finally broke ground on my house. They broke ground on May 31st, which makes my delivery date somewhere in very late August or early September. By the end of the first week they had the foundation poured. That of course had… Continue reading A Long Awaited House Update
A Slight Detour
Well, things don’t always go to plan, and that is certainly the case this past week. I landed in the hospital this past weekend with a severe allergic reaction and infection around my surgery site. I first noticed that a rash around my incision and such was spreading on Tuesday, so I started taking benadryl.… Continue reading A Slight Detour
Sparky 2.0
Friday was a big day! It came both quicker and slower than I expected, but I was more than ready to get Sparky 1.0 replaced so I can get the MRI finally and hopefully get a firm diagnosis to what is going on with me. As procedures go this was fairly straightforward. Reported to registration,… Continue reading Sparky 2.0
The EMG…aka controlled tasing
An EMG is one of the tests the neurologist suggested I get when I saw him in April. For those who don’t know what it is, it is a test that uses small electrical shocks to determine how well your nerves in the periphery of your body (arms and legs) conduct signals. I finally had… Continue reading The EMG…aka controlled tasing
The Secret Is Out….
So the secret is out, yes I can walk, some. This post has been percolating in my head for a good long while, and while yes, my walking has gotten better in the last four months, the fact is that long term as I have said before on this blog is that I will be… Continue reading The Secret Is Out….
A post about pee
After being rescheduled, I finally had my urodynamic study done yesterday. This test was to give some insight on to what is happening with my bladder and how I can best manage it going forward. First, this test involves them manually filling your bladder, and is somewhat invasive. You also have to get fully dressed… Continue reading A post about pee
