Hi.

I have good news! We finally figured out what was wrong. I’m in the process of getting it treated. It requires two surgeries, one of which I had two weeks ago. It went very well, I’m recovering nicely. The second surgery is scheduled for March 5th.

If you want to know specifics, read on.

Hi.

I’ve had a few developments over the past week. Hard to say how major they are just yet. They’re each certainly significant in their own ways, but they each also have strings attached to them. I’ll do my best to explain.

Hi.

I haven’t made a post for a lot of reasons. Mostly because I didn’t want it to be all doom and gloom. I’ve been in a lot of pain and dealing with a lot of problems that, as I’ve come to learn, even when I THINK I understand, I don’t. There have been doctor's visits, but they've amounted to little as of yet. I’m undergoing physical therapy, but it’s slow going. All that’s really changed is my health care provider and the amount I owe in medical bills.

Back from Mayo. Got some good news, got some bad news. I'm still processing all of it.

Mayo is tentatively back on. I worked directly with my insurance and switched my PCC to be Mayo. Turns out some of the pieces of info I was quoted initially WERE true, as Mayo is within my insurance network. I don't understand why that still meant I still needed a referral before, but no matter. Appointment is now set for November 17th.

I deleted the November 2nd entry to avoid confusion. Here's hoping that's the last of the roadblocks.

I don't know how frequent or detailed these will be. I was already keeping a sort of personal health journal to try and figure out what the hell was wrong with me. Maybe these can serve as a sort of spiritual successor while also keeping those interested in the loop.

When last I spoke to all of you, I mentioned how frustrated I was. I mentioned how my eyes were sliding over the words and that it felt like I couldn't focus. I thought it was due to burnout, and maybe there was some aspect of that. I thought my inability to concentrate was just some kind of mental block that would subside if I just stepped away from everything.

Hi.

So, I know it's been a while since I've posted anything. I apologize for that, and I'll give you a small explanation. I'll keep it short and sweet for those who don't like long blarghs.

• I live in Saint Paul/Minneapolis, Minnesota. If you've been keeping tabs on current events, I don't think I need to say much else.
