Surprise

As bleak as my previous posts have been. It’s been the truth. It’s not been an easy road these past few years. I have struggled for some time now on what exactly has happened over the course of what?  5 years?  The acne. The pus. A constant thing that never really went away. As I… Continue reading Surprise

Sick

I don’t even know how to start typing this blog entry.  As I sit here, it’s hard to find the words, or just type what I am feeling.  Numb.  That’s how I feel lately.  I was hoping that the antibiotics would start doing something, but its hard to say at this point if they at… Continue reading Sick

Caving to pain

I woke up today in an absolute blur. I took an ambien last night to just sleep. Sleep is something that I haven’t been able to do, or even get much of. As I rolled over to see my wife out cold and snoring, I looked at the window. It looked like I had woke… Continue reading Caving to pain

Being Chronically Ill

Past couple days have been rough. The facial pain has been getting worse and worse. On the sides of my nose, cheeks, and jawline. Just fucking hurts. Today I started to notice that the implant that was placed on the rear left, the surrounding tissues look, angry. Red, and swollen.  I am fairly certain that… Continue reading Being Chronically Ill

Exaustion, frustration, yet determination.   A week ago, my body told me I was in trouble.  I listened.  The past weeks something was wrong.  Heart rate speeding up, slowing down.  Blood pressure always high.  Never would I have imagined what was actually going on.  For as long as I can remember, my arm has been… Continue reading A Week Later

Home….

As I sit here on the couch near midnight.  My mind won’t stop running.  My arm fucking kills.  I keep getting weird spasms, and pains.  I’m pretty sure its all fallout, but knowing what was just removed, has me a bit anxious to the fact that something might be still wrong.  Call me crazy all… Continue reading Home….
