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
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….

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
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
Pisces Gonna Pisces
Once a week or so I get to go to the Drake Center for water-based physical therapy. Those who have known me a long time know that I was on swim team for a long time when I was younger, and I am a water sign, and I do love the water, whether it is… Continue reading Pisces Gonna Pisces
