Mini Vacation to MV

From Thursday to Monday, I was visiting my Aunt's house in Martha's Vineyard with a few friends.  I had a great time, and wanted to share some pictures with you!









We saw 2 sunsets, got a few items off MV bucket lists (backdoor donuts being one, and no, it's not as dirty as it sounds).  We went to the beach almost every day, and I got some great color by accident (I used some expired sunscreen).  I got to swim almost every day, one day we even swam way out to a sand bar, and back in.  A lot of exercise!  I even managed to sneak in some water aerobics exercises. All in all, it was a great trip.  The only thing I didn't do that I wanted to was pick up a black dog collar or leash for Huck, who is coming home on Saturday!  I expect my blog to be flooded with puppy pictures over the next few weeks!

    sounds like a nice little get away! Me and my family always enjoy a nice trip to the Marthas Vineyard rentals we frequent every summer. They can just be so peaceful

Talk About the Sh*t you Don't Want to Talk About

I haven't updated this blog in a very long time.  I actually deleted a ton of posts while I was applying for social security disability. I posted about Cushing's Awareness day earlier this week on facebook, so I guess I'm in a sharing mood. Anyway, for anyone who even reads this, I was watching a documentary on Netflix about a teenager with anorexia and mental illness who found meaning in her life through yoga. (It's called I Am Maris). It's kind of the reason for this post. To start - let's go back to June 2018. My grandmother died.  She lived a wonderful long life, but it was especially hard on me.  She was the reason I got out of bed every day, my best friend, and so much more. I actually don't remember how I got through most of the summer. In the span of two weeks at the end of August, my mom turned 60, we went on a family vacation to the vineyard, my best friend got married, and I wanted to kill myself.  Yeah, you read that right. The day after re

Happy New Year!

Happy 2018!  I hope this year is a good one for everyone.  2017 was not the best year for me, and it seems like a lot of people relate to that, either for personal reasons or global ones. 2017 started off with me being in the second month of unemployment.  I had just been denied social security disability for the first time this go around, and was feeling sicker than ever. Over the last year, I've faced more challenges than I ever thought I could, and somehow made it to where I am today. In 2018, I'm looking forward to finally being approved for disability.  I am also looking forward to some resolved health issues, or at least next steps in figuring out what is wrong. I hope 2018 is a happy and (relatively) healthy year. Happy New Year!

10 days at MGH

It's been 10 days, and I am still in the hospital.  I walk two or three (very short) laps around this floor and my heart rate is upwards of 130, my lips, fingers, and toes are increasingly blue-tinged.  My oxygen saturation levels are even lower now, after sitting here for over a week.  So what have we accomplished so far?  Let me tell you. I had the arterial blood gas sampling done on Sunday.  It took a couple more tries but success!  It was of course, painful but nothing that I couldn't handle, especially if it meant an answer and an easy fix.  My arterial blood looked very dark as she was drawing it out, not the bright red oxygenated blood you usually see from arteries.  The doctor commented on this, and said that it was very interesting. Unfortunately, I did not have an abnormal level of methemoglobin.  So that ruled out methemoglobinemia .  The plan was to have an echocardiogram on Monday.  After waiting most of the day, I got pushed to the next day's schedule
