I would love to tell you that this was going to be an orderly and comprehensive post. Alas, I spent far too long trying to make some sort of headway in producing a more cohesive blog appearance, and therefore… We’re just going to do a Jackson Pollock style splattering of updates and hope at least
My fasting blood sugar on August 9th, 2025. All we see here in these posts is just a part of my life, just like that is just a part of my face from November 8th. All photos/screenshots by Ariana. I noticed that I stopped having blood sugar crashes a few weeks after I got COVID
Me, 26 days after my cervical corpectomy this January, and me this morning. The scar has healed so nicely, you can barely tell I had this surgery by looking at me. Reading my writing though? Lol, that is an entirely different story… I spent months not writing here and we’re already back for my second
