All of the self-good will I had earlier today vanished and embarrassingly quick. One more night here at the hospital. Okay. I’m okay with that. The health insurance failing to pick up the bill sent me into spasms. I didn’t question it. I didn’t stop to think. I just went to a dark place very… Read more

What a way to spend valentine’s day. I’m in St. Francian hospital, room T524. I guess it’s a nice enough room but I can’t see out the window, my back hurts, the bed is uncomfortable…. I’ve been unhooked from the IV drip and have been running to the bathroom myself… which sets off the sensor alarm on… Read more

I think I truly am my father’s daughter.  Although a loyal and strong family man, he was a bit of an ass. He was offensive, difficult to get along with, stubborn, and everything had to fit his viewpoint. If it didn’t, it was automatically wrong or rejected.

I scared myself yesterday. Typically, in a daily life of an anorexia, it started with breakfast. Instead of having my usual, I went with half a cup of egg whites.

And he’s off… Jason is off to some sort of governmental party that’ll keep him away for a couple of days. I think it’s great that I know my tax dollars are being spent on shrimp cocktails and the Marriot. But, honestly, I’m glad we have a couple of days apart… sort of. Of course… Read more

I’m in flux right now. The popular belief is that the masks and lockdowns will come back sometime in September. But this is based on a lot of heresy. It will be until it’s not and I refuse to believe that American (and the world) would allow such restrictions again. But people will. I don’t… Read more

For 48 years, I never went to the ER. Not even once. I had no need to. I was in generally good health and stayed out of trouble. ER was a place for burn victims, car accidents, and heart attacks. It was a place for emergencies – which is why it is it the ER.… Read more
