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 […]


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. […]


So, I had my surgery consult Tuesday. Spent the rest of that day sort of processing the emotions and thoughts it all stirred up. Wednesday, we’ll call “Fun with Migraines”. I’m not an organized thinker, so bear w/ me. 1. My surgeon knows his shit. I learned so much – about my own situation as […]


So, at what point in your journey will you make the shift? Will you always be the person you were the second you decided to be that person no more? Is that your ‘normal’? So, if life intervenes you are just returning to that ‘norm’? Or, will you eventually *BE* a new person? Will you […]


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 […]


So, I had my MRI yesterday, and I already got the call from my neurologist w/ the results: verdict – herniated disc. He’s giving me a referral to a surgeon to discuss options. Hubby and I have talked. I will talk to my Chiro, too. Already talked to my Physical Therapist (who says I’m ready […]


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 […]


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 […]
