I've been putting this health update off but - despite the initial good news I got a few weeks ago, biopsy results were actually not great. Looks like my stomach lining is severely - potentially permanently? - damaged, so that's fun. I am looking at long term management vs treatment afterall. This is honestly still a better answer than I could have gotten, but I'm...

Still waiting on biopsy results, but otherwise all the news from my medical procedures this week is good. I have a pretty severe infection in my stomach lining, but it's extremely treatable. Already on new meds and a different restricted diet (though less restrictive than what I've been doing for the last two months) and should be fully back to normal within a month or...

This week and next I finally have a bunch of diagnostic procedures and hopefully can get better, actionable info for the health issues I've been juggling since January.

One of my doctors put me on a restricted FODMAP diet a couple months ago which thankfully has already made a big difference. I was on a running hiatus for a while, but as evidenced by several...

Nothing I really hate, but

Ten years ago today I finished packing up my car, left New York, and never looked back. The road trip along the way and subsequent move to San Diego changed my life in ways I hoped for, and ways I never expected. A lot of people told me “No.” I’d had a recent heartbreak and a lot of weird trauma around the end of that...

I had the gigantic honor of being invited to lead Zion National Park's Pride Parade at their first ever Pride event in the park. I got connected to the park through the local LGBQT+ community, since I've been leading group hikes for them.

The parade doubled as a service parade, and we cleaned up trash along the trail as we went. My heart is so...

Sorry I haven't been terribly active or updating much recently. I'm having a bit of a terrible time tbh, and this has been a pretty shit year for me (granted with some nice highlights).

Please note, this blog is a bit of a vent but I am *not looking for unsolicited medical advice, thank you*

I've basically been having non-stop health issues since getting covid...

Tomorrow we close and new buyers officially take over the property my ex and I bought together. This has been such a dragged out process of emotional and financial stress.

The end of the relationship on its own was stressful enough. Imagine being with someone for almost 5 years, buying a house together, and then getting broken up with over text message after they secretly...
