If they eye offend thee pluck it out, or in my case it was my uterus
I had a hysterectomy yesterday. It’s been in the works for almost 9 months, well really almost a year and a half now. When crap hit the fan in 2023, one of the things I wanted was a hysterectomy just so that my period, which has been painful for years, was one last thing I…

Learning how my muscles work
Have you ever known you were doing something wrong, but no one has been able to tell you how to do it right? I have, especially with exercise and posture. Last year I went to a migraine clinic that worked a multiple prong approach. Parts of it worked, but one part didn’t, and that was…

With that I have had a lot of thoughts about beauty, body image, and self worth lately…

How I’m Doing with Migraine Treatment Keto Update.
Today is day 108 of keto, and I’m feeling a lot better. I’m not cured, but functioning at significantly higher levels. After I got over the keto flu (which, for me, only lasted a few days and felt like a minor PMDD day (I told the Dr.that and he said you must have really bad…

A Day in the Life of a Neurodivergent Family
I’m taking a brief interlude from explaining my migraine treatment to tell you about the day I had last week. It started like any normal day. I woke up around 7:15, but had a hard time getting out of bed until 8 or 8:30. I went upstairs to work on the large amount of dishes…
