Long-time readers know that I battle Depression.  Those of you who are new and would like to learn more can catch up on previous posts about that here. I was inspired to write today because Kimberly at All Work and no Play Make Mom Go Something Something is celebrating a mental health awareness day with […]

Ccbvmvjblmgvgffdbycyfggigigihuhkuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. GmncMx ***The above was typed by G when I wasn’t looking. I’ve decided to keep it — it’s his first blog post! ;-)*** But back to me (’cause I’m so vain I thought this blog post was about me). If you know who I am, you know I’ve been gone for quite a while.

We went to get rabies shots yesterday morning. Yup. Rabies. Remember that whole bat thing?  Well, apparently if you wake to bats in your bedroom when you’ve been sleeping, the right thing to do is to go get shots just in case: The bat managed to quietly and calmly crawl on some exposed area of […]

I haven’t been around for a while, as you may or may not have noticed. I’ll pretend that you’ve all been waiting with bated breath to hear about what’s been going on, since believing that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. 🙂 Largely I’ve just been busy with work. Once upon a time my […]

w00t! Today lovely Lynn from All Fooked Up is hosting me for her “Go Ahead, Amuse Me” series! Please go check out my post about post-surgery humor there (yeah, that shoulder surgery, that was yesterday), and be sure to check out Lynn’s stuff, too.  She’s MORE than funny enough to justify a Reader subscription. Cheers!

Well, a couple, I suppose, if you count the couple of tiny incisions that are required for arthroscopy.  And then there’s the whole ablation/debriding thing they’ll have going on once they’re  in there… but they don’t technically use knives for that part. I saw my new MD for the […]

It’s Valentine’s Day! And rather than go all mushy about my two amazing men (which I could do ad nauseam, believe me), I will instead devote this post to a break-up. I will start with one of my favorite quotes, from one of my favorite movies, Singles (start at 1:11 if you don’t want to […]

sigh Those of you who’ve dealt with depression and/or anxiety understand the title of this post. It’s that feeling you get when you wake up one morning, and all of a sudden you realize the world doesn’t actually suck.  Or rather, and much more accurately, that you no longer feel a constant impending doom crushing […]

You may have noticed Monday’s incomplete post about waiting. At the time, I was in the waiting room at my physiatrist’s office.  On tap was my treatment for a frozen shoulder, namely a corticosteroid injection into the shoulder capsule (to reduce inflammation) and manual manipulations to break up the scar tissue that’s been keeping my […]

So this morning I had a NCT (nerve conduction test) and an EMG (electromyogram).  I would give you a link to these on Wikipedia, but there’s a blackout going on dontchaknow.  You’ll have to look them up yourself tomorrow if you’re really curious. This is in re: my frozen shoulder.  At my last appointment the […]
