(written on the 30th and Oct. 1st) I think it was another challenging night, pain and discomfort wise. Boy am I regretting having done those things to try and aggravate the nerves issues prior to the MRIs. It didn't work in time, and now I'm just... miserable. Ugh. After getting up and getting squared away … Continue reading 2024-09-25 (Wednesday) — Mt. Hood… In the Dark

(written on the 30th) It was a really rough night's sleep last night. I didn't do very well with my spine issues in overdrive and then the addition of heartburn on top of that. I don't know what caused it, certainly something that I must have done when trying to aggravate things for the MRIs, … Continue reading 2024-09-24 (Tuesday) — Gorgeous Fall Colors

(written on the 30th) After decent night's sleep in the Walmart parking lot, having woken up a good while earlier than I needed to be in Payson to pick up my mom, I decided to take the time to clean out the van a bit. So I gathered up trash and threw it away. I … Continue reading 2024-09-23 (Monday) — On the Road Again

(written on the 30th) Not sure exactly why or how it happened, but I reverted right back to where I had been most of the previous week. I was right back at my mountain parking spot. Pain and nerve issues. All the efforts that I had made to cause myself to go into the MRI … Continue reading 2024-09-22 (Sunday) — Regression to the Mean

(written on the 24th & 30th) I forgot to mention in the last post that I got the results from my cervical MRI. They accidentally screwed up and sent me the results of cervical MRI three times instead of sending the results for each of the different MRIs, so I'm headed to take care of … Continue reading 2024-09-21 (Saturday) — To the Mountain! … Again. 😁

(written on the 23rd) Bought some underwear, tried it on, realized it was the wrong size so I swapped it out for the next size up. Headed over to visit Richard since I'd been here over a week and I hadn't seen him. Fortunately, I had managed to pull myself out of my depressive state, … Continue reading 2024-09-20 (Friday) — Sour Milk

(written on the 21st) The day started with a little trip over to Walmart after getting up and leaving the Maverik. I bought food and and A new ice bin for the cooler, as while I was cleaning out the cooler, the old ice bin fell onto the ground, and because of the cold, cracked … Continue reading 2024-09-19 (Thursday) — Of Brakes, MRIs, and Good Friends

(written on the 20th/21st) I think I mentioned something about expecting police to kick me out of my parking spot? I think it was like 1:30 in the morning, or something like that, and I was still awake when I saw the familiar super bright headlights flood the parking lot, The telltale sign of the … Continue reading 2024-09-18 (Wednesday) — Mountains, Waterfalls, and Camp Fires

I've been... paralyzed ...for the last... four days now I guess it's been. Here I am in Utah with family and friends I could visit, but I've been paralyzed in the same parking space since Friday night. I have no explanation or reason for it. I keep waiting for police to show up one night … Continue reading 2024-09-17 (Tuesday) — Paralyzed
