A lot of people have said the last year that they admire how I have dealt with the cards I have been given and enjoyed my positive outlook. Well, my outlook isn’t always so positive, and I know that currently I am dealing with a pretty bad depression. This has been going on for a… Continue reading Dealing with Depression

Settling Into Life
The last month has been crazy busy. I closed on my house, I moved, and finally my car came through and I am driving again. I joked to my primary care doctor and orchestra friends that I am finally a “full adult all grown-up again”. I must say it feels good, but it has been… Continue reading Settling Into Life
Everything All at Once
Well we always knew September would be busy, and that has absolutely turned out to be true. First off I am officially an Auntie as of earlier this week, so that is one of the “impending” things of September already done and dusted. My sister and niece are doing well and are resting and recovering… Continue reading Everything All at Once
House Update-Stealth Mode Edition
As the days go by we are getting closer and closer to my house getting completed. My sister, brother-in-law and I decided to take a stealth mode visit today to see how things were going. First in the garage are my cabinets and what looks like vanity tops and sinks. So that is exciting that… Continue reading House Update-Stealth Mode Edition
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
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
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
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
