Trying to Get on My Feet

I spent too much time laying down this morning. Mentally I am not great. But I have since gotten back up. I've been cleaning baseboards. To do it, I've been using my orange duster. Honestly the constant bending makes me sore. I want a longer duster that I can stay up right with when I … Continue reading Trying to Get on My Feet

Dr Appointments, Diet, Mania

I went to the GI doctor today. He thinks, based on imaging that was done on me when I was in the hospital, that there might be something wrong with my liver. I have to get an MRI soon. Hopefully it's nothing. I also have other problems they found, but I likely won't have surgery … Continue reading Dr Appointments, Diet, Mania

My reactions to cities and other busy places aren't normal. I feel worn out and defeated. The life of travel I dreamed of won't happen. … Continue reading Agoraphobia?

Dieting is So Hard

I like food, especially rich or sweet foods. Because of a botched surgery, I have limited mobility. I can walk, but not far enough to actually take a walk. I am on medication that causes weight gain. In fact, I have been on several meds that caused weight gain. Between these three things, dieting is … Continue reading Dieting is So Hard
