My favorite daughter comes home tomorrow. I'm happy, but a little down. It's been a really lonely week, but it's also been relaxing, I got to eat what I wanted,, lol, including meat, and meat, and more meat, and nothing at all if I didn't want to! The days went by super fast, I got no sleep because.....cats like to wake me up at 5am now. Been really depressed about the last Dr appointment, and family drama, ex-family drama, cat drama, Grace's drama, and life drama. I felt good for about 1/2 a day and was going to create, but something else came up. I need to quit making excuses and just do something. maybe tomorrow after the airport.
Thanks for reading! I am going to continue to leave the page up because I still have every intention of getting my art started again. I just can't give up yet. I think about it every single day, come up with new ideas and at least sit in my desk chair. That is me not giving up yet.

Yesterday I drove Madi to the airport and after about 24 hours of flying, she is in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It's one of the largest cities in the world and locals tell them to hang on to your phone for dear life because people will fly by on bikes and just grab them! They also put used toilet paper in the garbage, not allowed to flush it 🤢.
I am one jealous momma but I am so glad she gets to do this! I have 2 weeks of me time and I'm gonna attempt some art.

Frustrated. My ortho guy told me that if the injection works then the only way to fix my neck is the surgery. If it doesn't get fixed, this will be what I have to look forward to for the rest of my life.
Unfortunately, the injection did work some, like between 40-50 % pain relief.
I have a followup in a couple weeks to find out next steps.
I absolutely refuse to use the car money that was gifted to me for traveling. I'm getting a goddamn car, lol. I mean, I doubt my daughter could take time off anyways. And, quite honestly, who tf would want drs to pull bones out of their neck through their mouth? There's just something not right about that!
But, I am throwing a warning out there. If I'm crabby, look crabby, sound crabby, don't talk, ignore you, crying, it's because I'm in the worst pain of my life..... and I'm crabby.

Some new developments.
MRI showed bone marrow edema in c1 and c2 (neck). Pain clinic will not do anything for it. Yesterday I saw ortho and he also won't do anything. Apparently, I have OS Odontoideum. C1 & C2 didn't fuse before I was born. Nice that I find this out 53 years later 🙄. This explains a lifetime of neck pain and headaches. It's super rare, less than 2% of population have it.
The surgery to fix this is hilarious. They go through the mouth and remove either C1 or C2 🤯.
It can't be done in ND. They wanna send me to Rochester. I can't go to Minnesota. I could never come up with the $$. So I'm struggling with the fact that I'll never be able to do certain things again, and I'll be in this much excruciating pain for the rest of my life. I've already been "resting" for months and months. I did PT for over a year. I "sleep" sitting up in bed, like maybe 20 minutes at a time. My life is over and I'm really fkng sad and angry. Also, I still can't get pain meds 🙄. Oh, yes, the SI fusions is just had seem to have failed. It's just as bad as it was before surgeries.
That's it, won't be bitching anymore. Doesn't do any good anyways. Just wanted to give an update. I do plan on trying to paint at some point.

Song of the moment 🥺

This song is for the people who wake up already fighting, the ones who keep going even when they feel burned out inside.This one came from a place I don’t al...
