Hold On

I had one of those productive-but-frustrating appointments on Thursday morning, the kind that leaves me bristling with resentment in the moment but settled into a better, more balanced place a mere thirty minutes or so later. As I won’t stop internet (and real-life) shouting in recent weeks, I’m in the middle of a huge developmental ..read more

Away from Home

For the good part of a year, I found it hard to believe that I was home. Funny, then, that I’m going to celebrate the end of that year by sleeping in a bed not my own. The difference, of course, is that for the first time in what feels like forever, a night away ..read more

Now that I’ve started taking showers in the shower rather than supine in bed and am thus able to wash my hair the old-fashioned way, I’ve become, for perhaps the first time in my life, open to the possibility that expensive shampoo, conditioner, and styling goops might make a difference. To clarify, I in no ..read more

It’s Been (Quite) a Year

I’ve been awaiting this day for months with a curious mix of over-the-top excitement and nervous anticipation, proud and pumped but not wanting to jinx myself. Exactly a year ago, I was discharged from the hospital. That’s right: today marks a year since I’ve been an inpatient. A year without an admission. A year without ..read more

The Proverbial Floodgates

I’m not sure my husband is particularly happy about the consequences that my latest accomplishment (and, in some ways, the greatest one besides the obvious stuff such as, you know, surviving) will have on his ability to enjoy the night without getting soaked in second-hand water. Yesterday evening, I showered in our shower for the ..read more

A few weeks ago, I wrote about a medical issue I was experiencing. (I password protected the post because I wanted to err on the side of caution re disclosure of specific health-related information. If you want to access it, shoot me a message.) At the time, a full resolution seemed imminent, and I was ..read more

The Beauty in Monotony
De Morbo Sacro

The longer I’m home, the more I appreciate monotony. Before I continue, let me provide a bit of clarification. In my head, I distinguish monotony from boredom (although there’s beauty in that, too). Rightly or wrongly, I’m not a huge fan of monotony’s duller cousin. Boredom is hours dragging on with little to break them ..read more

Although I met G by a stroke of pure luck, our friendship now seems as meant to be as anything possibly could. She and my husband were participating in the same forum at their place of work when they discovered their mutual connection to epilepsy—she lives with it, and he lives with me. After asking ..read more

Over time, my right foot has slowly loosened up (as I’m striving to in life in general). When I first started rehab, it hardly moved at all, but with much work, some coaxing, and a few Botox injections, it began flickering a little and then bending a bit. Eventually, I reached a kind of compromise ..read more
