Yesterday, I was feeling really down. Then I got a video text from a friend. He wanted to share a funny story and let me know he was thinking of me. The story made me laugh and the message made me smile. Little things can mean so much.

I just woke up. Which is hugely disappointing.

I thought maintaining my sobriety meant I was strong. But this diagnosis, this diabetic amyotrophy, challenges that notion. I do my exercises everyday, I keep my glucose levels within range, and I try to put on a happy face. But I’m really struggling.

I hope Bubo wins the Superb Owl this year.

I know I have many more years left in me and I also know they are all going to suck.

So I have started to write my memoir. Trying to understand how it all came to this.

“I was born with a black eye. Literally.”

A few things have changed since I got home from rehab for my legs.

- I don’t enjoy horror movies anymore
- I can’t watch hospital dramas anymore
- chocolate tastes funny
- I have no motivation to do anything except sleep, it’s the only thing I want to do

No, no, no, no, no. She was my favorite. I remember watching the first episode of Schitt’s Creek when it premiered on POP TV here in the states because I couldn’t believe I would get to see her every week. Her instincts, her timing - impeccable. Rest in peace, Catherine O’Hara. 😭😭😭

People keep telling me that with time, medication, and physical therapy, I will walk again. But I don’t feel it. I used to be so lazy, I’d joke about trying to become inert. I just never thought it would really happen.

Alive, well-ish, and watching the Golden Globes with my dear friend Lorraine.

This is the story of two sisters. Jessica Tate and Mary Campbell. These are the Tates. And these are the Campbells. And this is…

Thank you for all your support. But it turns out my legs are currently worse than they were when I started rehab. I have very little control over either of them. And it sucks.

Spaulding, you’ve been great. But I’m going home. 😊

I was in a hospital for 9 days. I’ve been in this facility for 15. I just wanted to let to go home. I never want my vitals taken again.

I’m at my best when I’m asleep.

I am embarrassed. Sorry.

I’m tired of being asked how my pain is 18 times a day. On a scale of 1-10. I don’t fucking know what your 10 is, how are you going to know what mine is? And which pain? My knee pain, my nerve pain, my hip pain? It’s all 10, let’s just go with that. (They decreased a med and now I’m irritable). 😡🤬😡

Sure, she was beloved as Laura Petrie and Mary Richards but her performance as Beth Jarrett is by far, one of the best ever recorded on film. Happy Birthday to the late great Mary Tyler Moore.

Someone bought and downloaded a copy of my book! It’s a Christmas miracle! 🎄✨🎄

Merry Christmas! 🎄 I tried this year! 🤣

During my Occupational Therapy session today, I had enough time to shower but only enough time to shave SOME of my face. So, I am now, at least temporarily, Amish.

The birthday boy needs a shave and a haircut. He’s looking well beyond his 53 years.

I have been diagnosed with diabetic amyotrophy. It’s very rare and will require therapy and proper nutrition to help with strength. Additional medicine will help with the nerve pain. Luckily I’m in one of the best rehab facilities. Thank you everyone for your kind and supportive words. ❤️😊❤️

I don't recognize myself anymore. Physically, of course, but mentally as well. Being in pain almost all the time affects a person. Not knowing what's next is challenging. Fearing I’ll never
be well enough to enjoy my life fully. To never go to New York again. 😢🙁😞
