Most importantly, I feel confident, and beautiful again!!! I was SO shocked when I got them, they look so real! They look like my old teeth before they jumped ship, but straighter haha. I most DEFINITELY cried when I first saw my smile for the first time i... » Continue Reading
Hello everyone, I’m sorry I’ve been absent. There has been SO much that has been going on. I’ll fill you in. Last I mentioned, I spoke about getting a hysterectomy. Well, that has been put on PAUSE due to my personal choice to not go through with it. My husband and I have decided that it’s in our best interest for our family to try and move out of our apartment that we’ve been living in for the pa... » Continue Reading
Ahhh Christmas is over and Yule is coming to an end. Things at home have been kind of stressful and straining, but I’m hoping once the new year starts better things comes to my little family’s way. My both my sons (bio & step) are on winter break and we’ll have my stepson here for a little bit during the break before the new year, and before school kicks back up again. He gets to come over, have C... » Continue Reading
Today I got the call. The call to get the ball further rolling in my court. To talk to the surgeon about getting my hysterectomy. It’s set for February, 13th, 2025. The kicker about this is that the facility that I have to talk to this surgeon at is the same facility that denied me my original consult that set me up and denied me over my age (view previous blogs). So, that makes me kind of nervous... » Continue Reading
Alrighty, so today was the day. The day of my tubal consult. For those who have read my blogs you’ve seen that it was HELL trying to get into a clinic to even be seen for a consult in the first place (see previous blogs to see why). My husband went with me, and it was kind of funny showing up to the clinic and realizing it was down the street from his fathers apartment- my father in law. Anyway, I... » Continue Reading
So I’ve been a little absent the last couple weeks. There’s a lot to it, and a lot has happened since then. Some good, some eh. My pain in my neck has gotten a bit better, but the migraines have taken the toll. Living my life with chronic migraines- it’s to be expected. I do what I can to overcome them and live my daily life, take care of my son, do daily chores and take care of our animals too. I... » Continue Reading
Today I managed. I woke up not feeling too bad, and thankful. All my work to feel somewhat decent paid off, and I was able to enjoy today. I didn’t have to take pain meds or muscle relaxers today. That’s always a plus when I don’t have to take extra medications. I got to ply with my son, be more attentive to our animals, and I got a decent nights rest. I didn’t need to do extra ice pack sessions, ... » Continue Reading
Living my life, most of my life I’ve had many health issues. Many surgeries, health complications- you name it. As I’m getting older my conditions worsen, and new conditions arise. I’d give anything to be normal. To wake up everyday feeling good, to end my day feeling anything but tired. The major conditions I’ve faced in my life don’t, and havent made me stronger, they have drained me. Just compl... » Continue Reading
Tonight I got some sad, heartbreaking news. My father who I have’s spoke to in a long time. Periodically we have had a unstable relationship due to my upbringing. My mother too. Well, tonight he told me today that there are 5 nodules in his lungs. They suspect that he might have mesothelioma. He doesn’t know for sure- YET, but will let me know, but for now the doctors are just keeping an eye on t... » Continue Reading
Today was a very stressful day. Yesterday my hopes were high of taking control of my bodily autonomy. Today, they were crushed, by yet again… a fucking man. I called a clinic to get a tubal consult as i mentioned in my last blog, and this morning I was given the most devastating news. I woke up to a MyChart message from the clinic stating that the doctor is refusing to see me due to the fact of my... » Continue Reading
Well, I did it. I found a place that will give me a consult to get my tubes tied. I’m doing the damn thing. I called around to 6 different laces that would schedule me onto their wait lists or who would have the availability to see me sooner than January 2025. Most of the places I called were either booking out too far, or over booked, or I needed a referral. But, then I got lucky. Finally, there ... » Continue Reading
What was a dark couple of days has turned to rage. Amongst Woman, POC, Men, Non-Binary, Queer, Gay, Moms, Dads, Grandmothers, Grandfathers, Sisters, Brothers and Neighbors. But, there is a rage out there, a wave of resentment and fear of losing our sacred self, our bodily autonomy. WOMAN are PISSED. We’re angry, BLACK WOMAN are angry. We all have every right to feel the way we do. This is beyond c... » Continue Reading
