Neuropathy

By: Yoshi

Today I just wanted to touch on something that’s a daily thing for me. Neuropathy. The reason I wanted to touch on this is pretty simple: I want to know if anyone else has similar issues as me. I don’t expect anyone to have the same conditions as I do exactly. I’ve already been told [...]

So. yeah.

By: Yoshi

It just seems like everything in this world is going crazy. With the oil crisis in the gulf, I just don’t know what to think of anything anymore. But I won’t talk about that here. This place is all about me. What’s been going on? Well since I last posted, I’ve steadied out on my [...]

Possibilities

By: Yoshi

So as of late, things have been going good. I’m starting to really get into a routine of taking my meds and insulin at regular intervals. I’ve been getting used to doing readings every so often as well too. As of now, I’m on at least 18 different medications and two types of insulin. I’ve [...]

Dealing with “normal” life

By: Yoshi

Dealing with post transplant has been surprisingly easy for me. This is not to say it’s been easy on Meesh. Unfortunately, she’s had to deal with more than she should mainly because I either cannot or should not do it. She lifts all the heavy things, she cleans the litter box, she does all the [...]
