One has only to google Keto diet (or ketosis, ketogenic diet, etc) with or without the Paleo addition to learn more than enough of the purported benefits of the diets/lifestyles. Please, don’t make be drop a LMGTFY. I have exactly four weeks until I have back surgery to repair a herniated disc in my low […]


I guess, considering my state of ill-health and morbid obesity for nearly half my life, it could be considered no small miracle that I’ve only ever had surgery once (I am not counting when I had my wisdom teeth out, K). The kind where you get the warnings about anesthesia and you get to breathe […]


Day by day, as I sit waiting for a call to schedule my back surgery, I get better, stronger, in less pain, etc. The other day I felt stable enough to attempt some ‘moves’ and I was successful in a full squat – plus standing up unassisted, w/ both legs powering, and no scaling. Huge. […]


I have decided that if it’s offered to me as a viable option, I will be having surgery to treat the herniated disc. Then, I will do what I know how to do to keep the other discs I found out are ‘bulging’ from getting as bad as the herniated one. Today I went to […]


By the end of the week, I will have had visits with 5 different doctors. I won’t go into the boring details, but the outcome is that I’m feeling a little better, I have more homework – from the Chiro and the Physical Therapist, and I have an appointment for an MRI on the 24th […]


In so many ways I feel better than I ever have. In other ways, I just feel old & decrepit. The supplements really helped, and I felt like I was getting better, then stuff started going numb. Fingers, toes on my left foot, and my right leg from my thigh down. My hip is hurting […]


Hello World. Been a while, huh. I wish I could say it’s been a Tahitian vacation or I’ve set some sort of speed-eating-bacon world record in my time away. Unfortunately, I’ve been kinda dying. I’ve spent every day since Thanksgiving in wretched pain. I thought it was my back again. Over-indulgence over the holidays. The […]


I haven’t visited my own blog since the end of October. I started writing a post then got distracted & just never came back. Life is what it is. I’m still grieving and processing stuff from the last 7 months. Still working on me, my marriage, and my life. Got off track w/ that & […]


So, I survived without coffee yesterday. Barely. The night before I’d had nothing but nightmares & I was exhausted. I did have some chai green tea, but no coffee. No UTI or bladder stuff, either. Moods were definitely more off kilter – I’m putting that down to bad sleep. I watched Van Wilder & held […]


I have spent the time since therapy contemplating stuff. It was a good session. I also signed up for the coping skills class – that starts Monday. According to the psychologist, I definitely have Bipolar 2. That’s good – less severe than 1. The anger stuff may have started out because of the bipolar swings […]
