Nine Months Ago My Life Changed Forever
So here I am, nine months post surgery. To say that things are “normal” wouldn’t be correct at all, I am still dealing with constant pain, my hip is still dislocated, my back makes weird sounds and I am getting fat from lack of exercise. I often get to feeling like I am no longer Read More…

A set back day
Well as sometimes happens today was a bit of a set back day, my hip is having more pain flair ups today, I didn’t sleep much and I have burned all of my proverbial spoons (look up spoon theory) anyhow, didn’t get my DDp Yoga workout in today as planned, honestly I am in just Read More…
I hate working overnights
I started working ems in 1994, come this September it will be 23 years of long shifts, lukewarm food, and lousy sleeping accommodations. the realization I have had is I hate working overnights, I don’t really care about shift differentials, or more freedom because of less management etc, I want to sleep in my bed, Read More…
