Chew on This: What Should I Eat on the 4th?
Being on an elimination diet for the past 9 months I find it hard to go to parties. The only reason I’ve been on the diet so long is because I had about a 2-3 month period where I couldn’t even eat regular food, let alone test out new foods to see if they affected …
Meditation – Get Some Headspace
A year and a half ago, a friend posted something on facebook about an app she had found called Headspace. She said she had just finished the Take 10 program and was going to sign up to take the rest of the series the app offered. “I pay for a gym membership and this would be like a …
Medication: Ativan
One of my ex’s used to tell me to try his ativan when I would get a stomach ache. It was a test to see if I was getting stomach aches because of anxiety. Unfortunately, the pill just made me tired and didn’t take away my stomach ache. Last year, when my nerves were severely …

Happy Father’s Day to the King
To my Father, Dad, Daddy, Supa Playa, King Garmo, I can always count on you to be my rock, to be my strength, to help me find a solution. You’re there to hug me, catch my tears, allow me time to grieve, but always pushing me forward. You’ve driven me hours to doctors appointments looking for …
2 Years Ago
2 years ago I was having knee surgery. 2 years ago I was under the assumption that I’d be taking PTO for a week and then work from home for 2 or 3 weeks. 2 years ago I had no idea that my issues wouldn’t be fixed by a ‘minor’ surgery that I had scheduled. 2 years …
Treatments: Lovenox Update
December, January and February I injected 40mg of lovenox in the morning and 60mg of lovenox in the evening in hopes that it would start to help my avascular necrosis (AVN). The hope was that the blood thinner would get my blood flowing into my femur and that the parts of my bone, which weren’t …
