One of the ways I keep busy/engaged is through knitting, and with my sister being pregnant it is time to knit “all” the baby items. Before we knew the gender of said baby, I knitted a blanket that I knew my sister had admired when I made it before. It’s called sprout, and it features… Continue reading A long awaited knitting post

Dealing With Pain
The last few months have been pretty painful, I am not going to lie. In some ways they have been the most painful of my life, due to the nature of the pain. This whole journey started off feeling like my back was being broken in two, pain so bad I had to stop in… Continue reading Dealing With Pain
The Mental Space
Generally, I’ve been keeping a positive outlook on things, but I am human, and I do struggle keeping my positive attitude going at times. Today is one of those days so I am writing a post focusing on what is often the elephant in the room, mental health and wellbeing. Some of this might border… Continue reading The Mental Space
Driving Part Deux
It figures on the first stormy, rainy day I would have my in-car evaluation but that is the way things go sometimes. We left the house in some rain and while I was in the waiting room it started to pour. Oh well, in Ohio one must drive in the rain so I got that… Continue reading Driving Part Deux

I Guess I’m Making Progress
The funny thing about recovery is that when you are going day to day, you don’t always see the progress that you are making. It is even hard for my parents, since they see me everyday. Therefore it is good when I get periodic check ins with my various friends and they see the progress… Continue reading I Guess I’m Making Progress
Appointment City
Going to all of my appointments and coordinating them is a full time job. I am so glad my housing situation is mostly on track, I don’t know what I would do if I was still waiting on that to all get taken care of. In this week alone I have 5 appointments, and two… Continue reading Appointment City

The Big Appointment
If you have followed me since my illness, you have known then how I have lamented that Neurology couldn’t see me until April 11th. Well today was finally April 11th. I had a relatively early appointment of 10:30. This was a marathon appointment as you will see below, and turned into a much longer appointment… Continue reading The Big Appointment
