Hey fam 🫶🏼

Little life check in since many have been asking how my health is doing. I am continuing to do so much better! I am feeling stronger, healthier, happier, & my chronic illnesses/pain are far more manageable. I’m beyond grateful. As I write this I’m so excited by the simple fact that I’m able to wear sport shorts again without hurting! It’s literally fucking wow I can wear something other than my pajama bottoms. It’s been so long that this simple act is blowing my mind. Another mind blow is that I’m now able to drive long distances again without pain. Though I am still needing a lot of rest & recover days. I’m beyond grateful the fatigue days are also becoming less frequent too 🙏🏼

I do have a hydrodistention procedure under anesthesia for the treatment of my interstitial cystitis coming up. This will mark #22 of all my procedures under anesthesia in the last 11 yrs (so fucking crazy). But I’m so thankful for all the procedures I’ve had since if they weren’t available I would most likely be dead by now. Truly wow. Very humbling, keeps me both grounded & thinking flat out “dammmmmmn” at the same time. My body is giving all the signals that it is go time for my bladder. I’ve been having a lot of urgency of needing to pee but not always able to do so until my bladder has met full capacity. Or I’m having accidents aka little wetting of myself. Out of nowhere I’ll also have instant sharp pain up through my urethra… This all probably sounds terrible but honestly it’s really nothing compared to what I’ve been through. I’m not screaming my lungs out or fainting when trying to pee. Shorts can be switched out. The shooting pain isn’t constant. And I know the hydrodistention will treat all this as it always does. So I’m immensely happy & going into this with no fear & all the positive vibes.

I feel I’m healing in multitudes of ways; physically, mentally, & spiritually. There are of course going to be moments of “what the fuck is going on universe” but everyone is going through something. I can’t express that enough, EVERYONE is going through something. Be kind. Always so much love & support my fellow badasses 🤟🏼🌻
