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…

Catch up! 1/11/2022- I was diagnosed with COVID-19, and Pneumonia.

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…
