Bit of a sleepy Sunday Afternoon around here. Things seem to be calming down a bit, which is good and bad for my recovery. I always seem to have to be doing something, and I feel like I am not being productive just “recovering”. I know my body needs rest, and I know that I… Continue reading Sleepy Sunday Thoughts

I guess I’m disabled now??
Late last week UC Health finally got my health records to the Ohio Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation a state agency underneath the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities. I was accepted, so I guess that means I’m officially disabled now? I was encouraged to reach out to them by my wheelchair specialist at NuMotion, but the… Continue reading I guess I’m disabled now??
Keeping the Peace
We did end up finishing everything for Tuesday when the movers came to put my life into storage. Then my Mom’s wonderful housecleaner came in and did wonders for my place. Seriously she’s never looked so good. If you are in the Middletown, Franklin, Monroe, Lebanon and West Chester/Liberty Twp. area and are looking for… Continue reading Keeping the Peace
Boxes, Boxes Everywhere
I swore to myself when I moved into my current place a little over 9 years ago, I wouldn’t move again like *ever*. I have moved more than most in my life, and that is a significant part of my story. This blog is somewhat my therapy so here is the somewhat redux of the… Continue reading Boxes, Boxes Everywhere
Birthday Reflections
As I sit here watching the 2009 reboot of Star Trek (so well done, I really hope the rumors of more installments are true) I reflect on the last 6.5 weeks and the last 52 weeks at large. In June I officially “came out” as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and while I know… Continue reading Birthday Reflections
No Recovery Manual
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
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
Keeping Mentally Active During Recovery
My Mom said to me late this week “do you ever stop and turn off?” and my retort at the time was “I turned off for about three weeks already while I was in the hospital and in rehab.” My parents, while still active in their own ways, are in the slowdown phase of their… Continue reading Keeping Mentally Active During Recovery
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?
