Wise MadnessAnother day that got away from me. I have something of an excuse. I woke up several times in the night. Once I woke up shivering. I had kicked off my covers, but it wasn’t cold enough for me to shiver. My brain was telling my body to raise its internal temperature. I get that […]
My tummy isn’t happy this morning. I wonder if the beef gravy for my poutine was in the fridge too long. Each container is enough for three dinners but as much as I love poutine I don’t want it every night. I try to space it out over a week; maybe this was longer. At […]
I didn’t mount an expedition yesterday or call a friend. I did receive two calls. One was from my therapist; out session today is going to be by phone. I told her weeks ago this would happen. It’s how you stop a disease from spreading. This was much tougher on people before the internet and […]
Blogging in the time of COVID-19 is different. My entire schedule is different. Writing in the afternoon is becoming more common. I wish it wouldn’t. Notice I’m still saying COVID-19 even if the world is saying “Novel Corona Virus.” That causes too much confusion as there are many corona viruses and what applies to one […]
To isolate or not to isolate, that is the question. The more I read the more I become convinced that isolation is necessary to limit the spread of COVID-19. The numbers all agree, the sooner people isolate the sooner and greater extent that it stops spreading. I hate this, I’m a social person. I’m a […]
Yesterday was the second Tuesday of the month and that means I went to John Platt’s On Your Radar. This month’s guests were Damn Tall Buildings, South for Winter, and Jared Feinman. In the morning I had an appointment with my gastroenterologist who is my de facto primary care physician. I last saw her in […]
Sorry I didn’t write yesterday; I had a mild Crohn’s attack. I need to discuss the language with my doctor. I didn’t have a flareup, food just got stuck in the scarring in my small intestine from previous flareups. I had to go out yesterday as I had a 1 PM appointment to reapply for […]
I surprised my therapist by asking how the hospital is preparing for COVID-19? She said I was the last patient she’d think was worried about that. I’m not germophobic and medical issues are the one thing I have less anxiety about than most people. I’m not afraid of getting COVID-19 and picturing me or my […]
I was in way too good a mood during therapy yesterday. I know why but that’s not the most useful state to be in for the therapy to be effective. It’s not that I don’t want to be in a good mood, it’s that I want to time them for when I’m not working on […]
It’s a good thing when I don’t write about my health. Today I’m going to write about my health. I threw my back out on Friday. I wasn’t even sure I was using the term correctly until double checked with Google. It means I strained a muscle in my back. I did it just reaching […]
