Recovering Nicely in Public Address System
Still recovering, but definitely feeling a lot more human than I did a week ago. It’s amazing to be sleeping on my stomach again with no CPAP and no breathing strips. Wish I had a home sleep apn...
Ice Cream, Wine, Candles... and Boogers in Public Address System
I slept well enough two nights ago with no breathing strips or anything, or at least as well as a 60-year-old can sleep. Due to there still being swelling and scarring in my nose that’s going to...
Pissers in Public Address System
A real pisser is the local dental place I called to ask if they did mouth guards for sleep apnea, who said no. Then they called while I was trying to hit the road, but I couldn’t get to the phon...
Success! in Public Address System
Stents and the stitches holding them in are now out (no pain, just a nasty taste from the lidocaine), and I can already breathe much better even though I’m not fully healed yet! Swollen turbinat...
ViviBook in Public Address System
Still recovering from septo surgery. It’s been long, tiring, and slow. I’m definitely getting too old for this shit. Please consider joining and reading this AI-generated book based on a synops...
The Aftermath in Public Address System
OK, now I should finally get caught up. As I said yesterday afternoon…Writing has been hard since I couldn’t see well, and speech-to-text was having trouble understanding me with my nose packed ...
In the OR in Public Address System
Written on the 26th…I feel like I’m never going to feel human again and get back to myself! I’m so backed up in my writing, and even after just a couple of days, my coloring, VR, and scented can...
Prepping for Surgery in Public Address System
Written on the 25th… Finally got my surgery, and now I’m going to try to get caught up. I was giddy with relief when I saw the text message saying to show up at St. Joseph’s the following mornin...
Before Surgery in Public Address System
I had my septo surgery, and it’s going to take me a few days to get caught up. I’m exhausted and in recovery. Here’s what I wrote right before surgery… On the way to Rhonda’s now. It’s so stupi...
It's a Go in Public Address System
Septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery is a go for tomorrow morning! It’s gonna hurt but if it’s going to give me my sleep and my life back, I don’t care. I’ll check back in as soon as I no...
58 in Public Address System
If all goes well without any unforeseen delays, I should be roughly 58 hours away from surgery. Damn, do I wish I could snap my fingers and jump ahead in time! The waiting, stress, and exhaustio...
True Crime and Nane in Public Address System
Tom’s tentative plan is not to renew his license when it expires in 2030. He’s eagerly awaiting the day he’s not able to drive because he hates driving so much, lol. He also insists that an Uber...
The Waiting Game in Public Address System
As exhausted as I am, I want to write while things are fresh in my mind. Slept shitty, and part of it was my own dumb fault because I overdid the estrogen again. Because of this, I was up for fu...
Lab in Public Address System
Can’t say how often I’ll do updates here but they’ll be brief and to the point compared to LJ, for ex (link is on my profile). Had my blood work done today, seeing my doctor Monday, then I just...
Surgery in Public Address System
Decided I missed writing here publicly. Surgery is on Tuesday, and I’ve been going through hell in the meantime with one appointment after another. Every time I’m told there’s nothing left to do...
Had AI summarize my 2025 journals for me. It’s not quite my style, but it’ll work for now. Having AI double-check for errors in journals and stories is one thing, but this? Next year I’ll go bac...
There isn’t much left of 2024, and if you’re wondering why I’m cramming half a decade into a single post, it’s because I didn’t do the greatest job documenting the highlights of my life other th...
January On the 4th, I noticed my red and white blood cell counts were rising again. That had me on edge until the 8th when I got the best news—my tests for leukemia and bone marrow issues came b...
January On New Year’s Day, Mary dumped me. She said someone told her I was supposedly badmouthing her in my blog. I wasn’t even surprised anymore, just angry—used for years, then discarded like ...
January 2015 ended on a fearful note, but 2016 began on a hopeful one. Unfortunately, Lexipro worsened my already disrupted sleep patterns so I didn’t take it for long. Menopause wasn’t easy...
January: I saw Dr. O, my new endocrinologist. She doubled my levothyroxine dose from 25 mcg to 50 mcg and then eventually to 75 mcg. We got Amazon Echo’s Alexa. February: Got a new MacBook Air...
Written in late 2014, edited in 2024 The teens ended up being the worst years of my life, especially mid-2014 through 2016, and then beyond. 2014 was both great and horrifying. This time, the ...
Written in 2013 This may be one of my shortest yearly reviews, even though 2013 turned out to be one of our best years yet. We became homeowners again! Part of the funding came from my inherita...
Written in 2012 2012 turned out to be one of our best years, though it came with significant losses. This time, it wasn’t about financial or material loss—it was about death. I find myself almo...
Written in 2011 Much of 2011 was not a good year, and I am determined to make 2012 better. Tom got laid off again in early March. Once again, we were thrust into the endless cycle of poverty w...
