Where I’ve Been

I owe everyone an explanation for my abrupt take off and infrequent posting. I have felt off and fatigued for months. Barely able to concentrate on a focused task. All of it culminated in a sudden ER trip very recently. My oxygen levels dropped to 89% and blood pressure went sky high. While I was not given any medicine or equipment, I was given tests to rule out most acute injuries. This lead me to only one conclusion.

A Portion Of Hope

A plate sat in front of me. It contained a portion of my Thanksgiving dinner: olives and baked brie. Meant to be an appetizer and no more. But it was significant to me. I had gotten a diagnosis for my current health issue weeks before. I was battling significant gastritis from stress the entire time.…
