If you’ve been keeping up with my Stardate Instagram/Facebook posts, you have probably seen that I had a frustration cry again on Sunday morning. Lots of reasons for that. I am taking the loss of my independence, going and doing on my own hard. Having my parents take me everywhere is exhausting for them as… Continue reading No Recovery Manual

Coming in 2022!
I commented on a Facebook posting of my Mom yesterday that adulting is hard so I’d rather get it all done very quickly. Yesterday I took what is probably the most “adult” thing you can do aside from getting married and having a sprog and that is putting in a contract with a builder to… Continue reading Coming in 2022!
Moving in all directions at once
There is a reason that I posted the photo above as the cover for this particular installment. Everyday has brought its own crazy challenges, from my Dad being absolutely stubborn about an infection on his legs, to starting the process of selling my place at breakneck speed. Everyday is filled with research, discussions, and ultimately… Continue reading Moving in all directions at once
I Finally Cried a Bit Today
This will (not) be short, and there will be much more on this topic, but I finally broke down, admitted this whole situation sucks and is a bunch of bullshit, and had a bit of a cry today. Honestly, I think Mom was relieved a bit, and I am relieved a bit, and like usual… Continue reading I Finally Cried a Bit Today
Home 2.0
Yesterday, was a big travel day. Got everything gathered, my Dad came about 11am and we were on the road and home just after 12 noon. My parents, sister and brother-in-law and some of my friends did a ton of work to get my Schultz Rehab area ready, and I arrived home, or at least… Continue reading Home 2.0
Mentally Preparing Myself to Get Out of Here…
Well, I knew it would happen eventually, that I would be getting out of a hospital setting. Word came down late yesterday that I am getting discharged from here because I no longer need 24 hour nursing care- which is great- but that doesn’t mean I am fully prepared to be at home (which is… Continue reading Mentally Preparing Myself to Get Out of Here…
Groundhog Day Special- What does a day in inpatient rehab actually look like?
Today is Groundhog Day, the day where we have the truly strange tradition of hauling a rodent out of the ground and declaring if winter is over or not. This tradition has its roots in the Pagan Holiday of Imbolc which is around this time of year, and it signals the start of spring where… Continue reading Groundhog Day Special- What does a day in inpatient rehab actually look like?
The Mental Side, and the Importance of Family
I’m not going to lie. The loss of my independence at least for the short term has started to hit me hard. I know the best thing for me is to go to my parents, and although I love them tremendously, that doesn’t mean I want to live with them full-time. They are working hard… Continue reading The Mental Side, and the Importance of Family
The Great Housing Debate of 2022
Part of my life adjustments I am having to make is to think about my housing situation. I bought my current place almost 10 years ago, and four years ago, I did a good amount of renovations in the kitchen, flooring, windows and carpet. I knew if I ever had to move doing those renovations… Continue reading The Great Housing Debate of 2022
Coming to terms with being differently abled.
People have commented that I have an inner sense of peace about all of this. I suppose I do. I know that nothing I personally did caused this to happen. I cannot control what my immune system decided to do or not do. Do I wish that the doctors had figured out and treated my… Continue reading Coming to terms with being differently abled.
