Doctor: You know it's bad when you are my most straightforward patient of the day. [Regarding me, the patient, who has around 18 specialists and several rare, complex medical conditions.] Me: Wow, that is a rough day! Both of us: LOL

I love Chewy! I told the wonderful customer support person how Abigail Bagel got her name (my favorite NCIS character and a beanie baby re-named Bagel). Today, Abigail Bagel received a package with a Bagel toy and a personalized evidence bag with her new favorite treats!

You know you have complex chronic medical issues when... The guy at the pharmacy greets you by name and tells you, "See you tomorrow!" as you leave.

I'm going out of state & taking my cat with me for the physical & mental health of both of us. I have complex health issues & chronic pain. My cat literally helps me survive it. It's going to cost MORE for my cat to fly there & back (on the FLOOR) than it will me. Southwest Airlines

What next universe? I had an upper endoscopy today to try to figure out why I'm having horrible episodes of nausea. They found my stomach full of food despite 12 hrs of fasting. We already knew I have gastroparesis but it was always well-controlled with meds. Not any more. 😢

Dementia really is a long goodbye. It has been so painful to lose my daddy a little at a time. I feel like I've been mourning his loss for years, but as this horrible disease prepares to take him from this world completely, I still feel completely unprepared. I love you daddy!

For those who have asked how they can help, first and foremost, prayers for my dad, James Arthur Wright II, and prayers for peace for my family. A friend also setup a Meal Train. It's hard to think about meal prep right now. mealtrain.com/zzg4mo Thank you 💙

Ended up in the hospital for a couple days due to headaches getting out of control and ensuing VP shunt concerns. Unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience UT Southwestern Medical Center. Any recommendations of where to go for any future VP shunt concerns in the Dallas, TX area?
