Happy 24th to meeee
My 24th birthday is tomorrow. 24 is real adult, 23 is just graduated from college last year, 24 is a respectable age. I am in a season where I am focusing on myself and on rehab and I have been for the last 4 years. I’ve had a couple relationships years ago and that’s just not something I have the…
9/25/25
I went to get my nails done last week and could not stop reflecting on my progress with getting my nails done since my stroke happened 4 years ago. I was big on manicures before my stroke and remember vividly my mom struggling to get my hand open enough to do a very not professional home dip manicure on my…
Orthwein Center
8/18/2025 Two posts in two days?? Who am I?! I love writing about what’s been on my mind. It’s a great way for me to get it out of my head, on paper (Or screen) and then I can untangle them. Today I went to the Orthwein Center and got a tour of everything they have to offer to help…
Just some stream of consciousness- what’s been on my mind
8/17/2025 I’ve always been somebody that has a lot on her mind. My mind is never fully present where I’m at physically, I’m always thinking about what I need to do next. But lately, my mind has felt heavy. I’m very emotionally intelligent and painfully self aware. This makes me a very good patient medically, because it gives the professionals…
July in summary
8/8/2025 July was a fabulous month for me. I was home (in St. Louis) for a total of 11 days this past month. I became very accustomed to living out of my suitcase. Gone are the days of just catching a flight one day and turning around and flying back later that day or even the next day. I met…
Updates
6/23/2025 With everything going on in the political climate, and all my traveling the past few months and in the coming months, my mom decided to help me deep clean my depression room a couple of days ago, just get rid of the clutter that builds up when I’m in and out so much. My mom really helps me cut…
Let me be honest
Like I’m not normally? Lol 5/29/2025 I have been on the freaking struggle bus lately. In March, I went down to Houston for PIR treatments, and I had to get a comprehensive blood panel done at a lab. No big deal, right? Well the results came back and my cholesterol and triglycerides were extremely high. Like I should be dead…
The last month (or so?)
4/17/25 Hello!! I have been swamped focusing on my continued hand recovery, which I have realized recently is creating a hand that works entirely differently than it worked before. It looks the same, and it’s still attached to me in mostly the same way as before, but the neural pathways on the right side of my brain that controlled it…
Big news!
3/17/25 I have a lot of travel coming up suddenly. My dad and I are going to Houston next week so I can receive some PIR® treatments that I keep talking about to see how the insulin affects my brain’s healing and reconnecting process. Basically a science experiment. If I can derive benefits from the treatments, despite not being diabetic,…
