A couple days ago, I was diagnosed with End Stage COPD. I’m only 40. Apparently, it took this long to get a doctor to look into my breathing problems. I’m always very short of breath. Even when resting. I also get frequent upper respiratory infections. Primarily pneumonia. I even managed to contract the Swine Flu… Continue reading Oh boy, here we go again…
I have an invention for you. Ok, I know I have talked about this in other blogs and maybe even in this one. However, I would like to mention it again. My idea came about based on what I’ve gone through in my 40 years of being sick aka my entire life. Idea: A device… Continue reading Attention: Doctors, Inventors, Geniuses, Engineers, etc.
Question: Why do we have to go to like 800 different doctors to get, even the simplest things, looked at? I went to the doctor today for a few things… 1) To have my chest x-rayed due to fluid in my lungs, breathing difficulties & angina. 2) To get an ultra-sound of my huge goiter… Continue reading Le Sigh…
I’m baffled by this opioid crisis that people speak of. Primarily because I don’t know how the hell these people even managed to get them in the first place.

Everyone probably thinks that their “loved ones” would be there & care for them if they became gravely ill because.. they love you unconditionally, right? Wrong. In reality, no one actually cares. They can’t be bothered with your sick ass interrupting & complicating their seemingly happy, healthy life. Some, quite frankly, just outright loathe your… Continue reading

I’ve had pneumonia for the past week or so. The day’s run together like streams converging into one another.. so, I can’t be certain of how long. But it’s nothing new to me.
