The horrors persist, and so do I.
Today, my pain doctor and I formed a new treatment plan. My goal is to stop taking opioids by Spring 2026. I’ve been taking prescription painkillers for over a decade at this point, and I’m only 34. I’m done.

I'm also set to do an evaluation tomorrow to confirm that I am able to do EMDR and then I'm gonna start on that, as well as upping my PT to twice a week. I've got the rest of the summer and the fall to complete EMDR while my regular therapist is on maternity leave.

I'm doing the hardest work of my life, and un-paralyzing myself. It is so painful I can't explain in words, but I'm hoping that I will eventually get to a turning point that I won't be in as much pain. My PT says I'm thisclose to walking without a massive limp. I've taken one (1) smooth step so far.

I've been having tremendous success with Physical Therapy this go around- probably because I bought some Brooks shoes and it literally changed my life. But also, I've found motivation in needing to outlive some people and a future that's worth fighting for.

I'm having a summer of transformation. I've become someone who gives a shit about their health. It infuriates me to say that eating healthier, moving your body, and getting offline actually does work.

Started the day by watching National Treasure. Afterwards, I watched the live news (bc I’m a political masochist). I followed that up by watching the Eras Tour concert movie for a pickup, and now I’m finishing this dark day with Inglorious Basterds.

I highly recommend.

1500 treasonous scum who tried to end democracy on January 6th, were pardoned by their leader today. The America I love, is over.
The rule of Law is over.
Decency, morality, civility, class, grace and justice, dead.
I couldn’t hate this asshole more.
If you voted for him, let’s avoid each other.

We went to the opening of Insidious: The Further You Fear tonight. It was INCREDIBLE!! 10/10 I won’t spoil anything but it’s truly magical and such a wonderful new entry into the #Insidious universe.

This has been one of the worst days of my life. My husband and I made and hardest and easiest decisions we’ve ever made. Today we helped our sweet Sanford cross the #rainbowbridge

I have insomnia the night before Thanksgiving because of course I do.

It’s not like I need to be awake in four hours to start the food or anything.

I did my first rage room this afternoon, along with my husband @whirlingnerdish.bsky.social and my incredible MIL. It was the most therapeutic thing I’ve ever done. 10/10 recommend, ESPECIALLY with the November we’ve endured so far!

Went and watched #heretic night, finally. I can’t stop thinking about it, it’s gonna need at least two more rewatches before I catch all of the details. Hugh Grant is a SUBLIME bad guy. So so so good 8.5⭐️/10
