It’s appointment day. Hurray! Yes, you’ve come to the right place, the kind of place where people with pre-existing conditions that are largely home bound get excited about going out, to see the wide, beautiful world, to see a doctor, and hopefully, a diagnosis. But here’s what’s going to happen. “Well, we see your lung…

There’s something extremely calming about installing a new Operating System. At least, that’s what I used to think, before all the health drama, back when my primary machine had a Microsoft Operating System installed on it and eventually over a year of use it came to a slow crawl (in my experience very typical of…

It used to be easy for me to figure out what to write about. I may have had Lyme, but I had a lot of time on my hands, outside of eat, work, sleep, survive. It’s not like I don’t have plenty to write about these days, it’s that a fair amount of PTSD combined…

I honestly didn’t plan to. I was having another perfect (as near as could come under the circumstances) not smoking, chillaxing, reading. I woke up feeling physically rather well, especially considering the last couple of months, and while I had a few downward dips, felt well enough to go out to the movies in the…

I’ve got no friends. Okay, that’s not exactly true. I have friends on social media, but I don’t have any friends in the city I live in. Okay, that’s not exactly true either. I do have friends in the city I live in, but, well, I guess that’s where the definition of what is and…

I’m fortunate to have a job where I can work from home (I definitely would not have been able to commute over the last two months without even more serious health results). I’m also fortunate to have an understanding manager who’s allowed me to work half days this week as I finish up one of…

I was feeling “great” (in relative terms) the other day when I was sharing a bit about my condition. Fine until about 1:30pm when I had my one-on-one with my manager. Then bam! over the course of an hour I went from feeling decent to my heart’s palpating, I’m short of breath, I’m dizzy, I’m…

If you’re wondering why I haven’t written in awhile, I’ve been out sick. Not sore throat, fluish symptoms sick, but really goddamn sick. Even now, as I sit here writing after waking up at 5am, unable to get to sleep again, I’m hardly in the mood for writing. I need a few weeks off. I…

I recently used the word “fun” in a negative light. My wife asked my why and I said, respectfully, that it wasn’t a quick conversation. And it’s not. Not for me. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I am, like it or not, an autistic of a sort. Not your…

I’ve had a pretty serious health episode but plan to write about it as soon as I’m feeling better.
