On Friday morning, when I woke up. I was met by the usual Charlie Horses in my calves and feet. I waited in bed for about 10 minutes for the spasms to let go so I could get out of bed. The night before was abysmal. Maybe slept for 24 hours total. Kept waking up… Continue reading Yesterday I Felt Like I Was on Fire

The Sinus Infection from Hell
This morning was rough. Not gonna lie. I woke up at 6:15am, instantly gagging and getting a ton of crud out from my face. I spent a solid 20 minutes of trying to pull it together. The usual garbage came out. No real change there. The pressure I’m feeling between my ears, behind my eyes,… Continue reading The Sinus Infection from Hell
First Post Op ENT Visit | Operative Report
As each day passes, things seem to feel somewhat better. This morning the pain is still coming and going, but the Vicodin seems to be keeping it in check.

3rd Day After the Facepocolypse
WHAMMY Day 3. Wow. My last Dilaudid was at 5am today (I still have 5 left), and that stuff was really hiding the real pain. I’ve transitioned back to my Vicodin, however, it does absolutely nothing. The shit part of this deal is my need for continued pain management. Opiates suck. I cannot wait for… Continue reading 3rd Day After the Facepocolypse
The Day After
The morning after. I don’t know where to begin to be honest. Last night I broke down… I had to. The culmination of the past 2 years in conjunction with the procedure, the extreme amount of pain, and just “the walls caving in”. It’s done. I made it. My wife has been the most supportive… Continue reading The Day After
Fred’s Eviction Day
Well, I tried sleeping last night, but that really didn’t work out. Too much was on my mind. It’s crazy to think that modern medicine has advanced as much as it has over the years. I probably got about 2 hours of sleep last night. I kept waking up. The nerves were starting to set… Continue reading Fred’s Eviction Day
Mentally Preparing Myself for the Future
Today has been a day of reflection, anxiety, nervousness, but optimism. I haven’t felt optimistic in a long time. I have always been a positive soul. Trying to do whats best, and helping out anyway that I can. The toxicity of the past 2 years has left marks, however, a grim reminder of how bad… Continue reading Mentally Preparing Myself for the Future

What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger
The infinite wisdom that my mom used to tell me growing up on a daily basis is starting to punch me in the face every day, and starting to bring light of my ongoing health problems. My mom had a quip for anything and everything. The one that that was very common was “What doesn’t… Continue reading What doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger
