Really? It’s ONLY JANUARY????????
As you can tell from the title I’m a little bit perturbed. My 2022 isnt going great…..So end of December 2021 I was diagnosed with Shingles, above my right eye, heading towards the eye. I woke up and my eye was swollen shut. I went to emergency room where they diagnosed me with shingles gave me meds and told me to Call my Ophthalmologist because it was very close to my eye. I called and they were able to get me in that same day. When I got there doctor looked and he wanted to get a picture but my eyelid wouldn’t open up. So he gave prednisone drops and…

2021 Re-Cap
So yeah, I did a pretty horrible job this year of my blogging business. I fully intend on making that up in 2022. But first lets recap 2021 and what a rollercoaster ride it has been. COVID-19 of course destroyed my business, so a large chunk of my life in 2021 was spent, trying to avoid situations where I would avoid being in public. I continued my Wednesday IVIG Infusions for my Gastroparesis (yeah 8 hours long infusion). I’m so glad I get along with my home health nurse, I dont see how she puts up with me half the time lol. We sit and watch movies and talk and…

Without further ado here is a brand new post: So last night 1/11/2022, I was watching Wanda Sykes (a comedian who I…

Cancel Culture???
Cancel culture (or call-out culture) is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles – either online on social media, in the real world, or both. Those who are subject to this ostracism are said to be “canceled.” —Wikipedia Cancel culture allows people to identify who is loyal to their movement. Broadcasting the transgressions of others forces everyone to respond. Though targets of cancel culture commit transgressions of varying degrees of severity, often they have done something that has gone out of fashion. —Wikipedia Let’s say you and I have been best friends since we were kids, and we are sitting on a porch just…

Criticism: The Good, the bad, and the ugly!
So I’ve been kind of writing this post in my mind for 2-3 weeks. Finally I think I can post about it without cringing. So here goes. No matter what industry you work in or hobby you do, you are bound to come across constructive criticism. This form of criticism is used mainly to motivate a person to do better than they have done in the past. It’s not meant to hurt your feelings or make you feel unwanted. 2-3 weeks ago I received some criticism from my mentor about some behaviors. I will now go into detail about it specifically. We were at third-party person’s house having a training…

Black Lives Matter vs. All Lives Matter
Ok, whew! Where to start with this post. Its been a long time coming. First, we thought that all we had to do is survive and get through COVID-19 together. Now we are adding protests, shootings, rioting, and looting. My poor city. Our downtown area looks like a war zone. Windows are broken and boarded up. I barely even recognize it. So, our city has had an officer-involved shooting where an innocent bystander was shot 6 times and died. This bystander was 26-year-old Breonna Taylor. Breonna served the city of Louisville as an EMT. Just looking at her pictures you could tell she was a bright and happy young lady.…

Daily Lupus Awareness Fact of the Day!
Hello, I hope everyone is doing great and being safe out there as Kentucky starts to open up businesses for the economy. I had surgery on Wednesday that went well. I will go into more detail in the next post about it. Today being that it’s Lupus Awareness month, I feel that it is appropriate to publish one Lupus fact for every day, starting today. A lot of people still don’t know what lupus is and by posting about it I will be educating and hopefully we can get some funding going towards Lupus research and be on the track to find a cure. Well I guess here goes. 1st…

The Spoon Theory
I did NOT write the Spoon Theory. This is a good representation for how people with chronic illnesses deal. Some days I wake up with no spoons. Those days certainly are rough. Do you know of someone that has an invisible disease or chronic illness,(Chrons, Gastroparesis, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Polymyositis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, etc) I could probably fill this page up with all of the diseases that are considered chronic or invisible. I do have a bone to pick with why my own chronic illnesses don’t get enough funding or research hours. 2012, is the first time a drug made specifically for Lupus has been on the market in 50 years.…

May is Lupus Awareness Month
In 2011, I was living what I thought was my best life. I had been on the police department for 2 years. I was involved with Kentucky Womens Law Enforcement Network and I worked a ton of off duty jobs for extra money. Around June I started having so trouble with both of my knees. I’ve always had trouble with my knees and when I would go to the doctors they wouldn’t know what was wrong x-rays, MRI’s would show everything was fine. Towards August I started to feel extremely tired too. No matter how much sleep I got I was always dragging. I stopped taking so many off duty…
