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

Even more facial pain

Today has been a day from hell.  I woke up just not feeling good. Everything hurt, but I got out of bed anyways.  The pain is different today.  My face just hurts.  It burns.  It feels  like something is in my cheeks and jaw.  It just feels…. fat.  The rashes I was talking about before… Continue reading Even more facial pain

A Week Later

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

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….

Not Even 2 Weeks……

And I’m fucking admitted again. What the fuck. Yep. You read that right. 2 weeks. Back to back.  Clots.  It’s like a sequal to a terrible horrible movie that get to see on repeat.

A Year Later

Today basically marks a year of fucking hell. A nightmare that I’ve literally never been able to awaken from. The implants were placed September of last year, first implant failed the day before Thanksgiving.  I never want to experience that again. Looking back at this past year, I don’t even know how I made it.… Continue reading A Year Later

Hospitalized…. Again

You’d think this shit would be over. You’d think that things would be “under control” as best as they can be.  Nope.  As I sit here at UC Health, I just have to wonder what the fuck. This week didn’t start out right. Fuck last week. It’s all just a fucking blur at this point.… Continue reading Hospitalized…. Again
