Christmas Eve: Lab Results

Trying to stay positive is tough.  I know this and while I have been trying to keep it up and deal with life's curveballs now differently than before, it's not easy.  Life's curveballs keep coming to test you. I have been waiting for my stool results for CDiff since last week since I'm on the … Continue reading Christmas Eve: Lab Results

When Doctors Drop the Ball- Barrett’s Esophagus

The week of Thanksgiving, I had an endoscopy and last week I got the test results via the doctor's office portal. The test results ruled out Erosive Esophagitis which is what I thought I had based on the intense pain I have been experiencing even when I drink water. They also ruled out H-Pylori (awesome!), … Continue reading When Doctors Drop the Ball- Barrett’s Esophagus

Fitness Check In Day 59: Keep Climbing that Mountain

This week has had a lot of ups and downs health-wise. Since Comic Con, I have been unable to go out for a walk as I had initially intended after seeing that my body was able to handle it like a champ during NYCC. However, work had me plenty busy and my body honestly the … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 59: Keep Climbing that Mountain

Fitness Check In Day 42

It's been 3 days since I checked in and 3 days since I worked out. I definitely don't want to go any longer without getting on the mat, walking, gliding or doing any sort of activity because as I've mentioned before, it's a slippery slope for me and I've come a long way since mid … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 42

Fitness Check In: Day 37

Each morning, I look forward to my slightly watered down half cup of espresso with my breakfast or as I like to call it, my morning cup of sunshine, hope and possibilities. The only espresso or coffee I can have is from RAD Coffee which I happened to come across thanks to my former coworker/friend … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 37

Fitness Check In Day 33: Dr Appt, Fiber, Exercise

Photo by Kindel Media on Pexels.com I've had a not so great and painful 3 days. 3 days of not posting or continuing my fitness journey. 3 days of continued uncertainty and worry. Disappointed that I wasn't being active and instead lying in bed or just sitting, but the pain and pressure on my intestines … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 33: Dr Appt, Fiber, Exercise

Fitness Check In: Day 29

Waking up these days has been tough. My body has just been dragging lately, making it hard to get up on that glider after brushing my teeth and washing my face. Not only that, I am as Cher would say from the movie Clueless, "riding the crimson wave" for the past 3 days, so the … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 29

Fitness Check In Day: 27

Yesterday, I felt like such crap I didn't even check in. I was exhausted, nauseous, super restless and worried since I had been looking for a urologist since Thursday and the ones at Columbia Presbyterian have no availability till September or October despite my telling him of the urgency. They only offered virtual next week, … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day: 27
