TLDR: The bad: My knee is toast. The good: My insurance will pay 100% for a knee replacement. And I have a better understanding of why my knee hurts as it does. The longer version: I went to see an arthroscopic surgeon, that is, someone who specialized in arthroscopic surgery, rather than someone whose specialty […]

I started posting Medium articles in January of last year, as a way of adding another revenue stream. I honestly don’t make that much money from them. However, I really enjoy writing them, so I continue to post articles every week. You can read the articles as I post them. You can also see them

Weight has stayed the same, even though I walked a lot more last week. I keep hoping it’ll just disappear without any effort, despite knowing better. I missed a couple of days of email last week. That’s okay. I had a LOT going on, and there was only so much I could do on those

If the day I got the vaccine was day 1 (because I had some symptoms on day 1), yesterday would be day 2, and today would be day 3. Yesterday, I was exhausted for the entire day. I told Blaze that I had one brain cell in the morning, two midday, maybe six by evening,
I got my second vaccine shot yesterday (Friday). When I got the first shot, I had symptoms in about an hour. I felt sick, tired, feverish, achy, etc. Spent the night sweating through my sheets, then having chills. However, within about 24 hours the only symptom that remained was the exhaustion. Second time around, I
I’m pretty much at the exact same weight I’ve been at, neither up or down. This is a good thing, as I’ve been over eating and not exercising. We’ll see if I can start doing something about it sooner rather than later – will really depend on how next week goes. I had a bad
