Blue is with veterinarian specialists today in hopes of finding out additional information regarding her health.

As many know, we took in Blue as a rescue pup 3 years ago. She was diagnosed with Epilepsy at the age of 4 months old. Her seizures have been under control over the past several months with medication and follow-up care. However, recently her health has taken a turn and her seizures have been more frequent. 

My fur kids come first. Always have, always will. 

Thank you everyone for your support through this platform, TikTok and others. Helping to spread awareness of Canine Epilepsy not only helps Blue, but so many others.

Can you believe I am coming up on a week post surgery? Next week is my first follow-up to see how my recovery is coming along. I have to admit that this has been tough...a true test of strength💪

I have learned to be my own best nurse with fellow furry aids by my side. I am living proof that you can make it. YOU WILL make it.

I will continue focusing on recovery, my fur kids, working full time from home and staying in close touch online with friends. A new lease on life awaits, so there is no time to dwell on any negativity. 

God places new doors in front of you for a reason. And those who stand behind you, love and care about you UNCONDITIONALLY.

Life is about learning valuable lessons. Wisdom at it's finest🙏😇👍

Seems one thing I have quickly realized with the online support community is that there sure are MANY night owls 🦉

This could be a good thing on nights like tonight, early morning hours when I can't sleep. Yep! Be prepared for LOTS of crazy podcast/blogging stories!

One couple was chatting about old trips in the family station wagon back in the day. Both are avid fishers who used to travel in search of the best fishing spots around the great USA. Now the wife cares for her husband while on his own medical journey. 

It got me thinking about a trip I remembered as a young kid. Family vacations in the old green with wood looking panels station wagon. Some may call them the "GAS GETTER!" ⛽

Back then you just didn't pack for the trip as a kid. Oh NO!! You packed for Barbie, Skipper and her friends too! I could tell you how Barbie's trip turned out...but somehow only Skipper made it. Ask the kid with the rolled down window while letting Barbie air out her long blonde hair.

Like a good dirt road song just waitin' to happen!

To my neighbor...or is someone who lives across ways from you technically considered a neighbor🤔

I came across by boredom (or is it by desperately trying to outsmart the pain from failed narcotics) latest videos, news feed of an American Airlines pilot who saw a UFO while in ✈️ flight.

What does my neighbors bright landscaping lights have to do with UFOS...I have no heaping idea.

If your up and tuning in right now...can you read my SOS call for some flipping pain relief? Flicker the lights 1x for yes..2x for no.

A Dairy Queen large chocolate shake works too when they open. I am willing to share.

Totally random...because I can't 💤 sleep.

Yea, yea...I will admit it...

I have done my fair share of crying over the past 24-hours. The pain is unreal as well the inability to get comfortable. 

I feel so incredibly alone in this new journey. The reality of knowing it just begun is also extremely frightening. As with any chronic illness, some just can't handle it. With time, experience and wisdom...I have learned to just let those folks be. My fur kids have yet to waiver with the rotation of a new furry visitor by my side. A reminder that I am overwhelmingly loved by the furry kind 💕🐾💕

I joined an online community aka support group that was suggested by one of my surgeon's assistants. Still...it's hard not to feel so alone.

Indiana wasn't where I envisioned to start this new year. It certainly doesn't help either when the mail brings long awaited tax documents to continue new business ventures.

Yet...everything feels like a big circle.

Six months has turned into more months than I would like to say and another set of surgical hands who waits in the wings. This, not by my decision.

I have enjoyed watching live feed while continuing to test out new streaming equipment for a reputable company. Waking up to capture the sunrise along the coast of Florida somewhat helps the beginning of a long day of pain, uncertainty.

I have even thrown around the idea of turning off the online world and its entirety. Yet, my therapists feel it's important now more than ever to podcast, blog and express how I am feeling. No matter how depressing or gloomy it may be in my current reality.

So, as I watch my make believe stars in the streaming sky...maybe I will wake up tomorrow with this all being nothing but a mere dream.

I used to believe I was Wonder Woman...but not anymore. 24 hours after surgery my body began to reject everything. Infection began and with it came pain that I have never felt before. 

I'm not sure why I believed I was Wonder Woman when it came to pain...but not anymore. 

Patients, we are not comic characters and I am not Wonder Woman. Pain medication has a real purpose. Or as surgical paperwork so properly put it, "Don't try to be stoic."

(Video: 1 nurse has now turned into 2 nurses that never leave my side.)

I have the best nurse in the world who hasn't left his mommy's side since arriving back home. I also got a far longer than projected road ahead of me with another surgeon who will be taking over after my second surgery.

I feel emotionally spent and physically drained, beyond defeated.

With amazing therapist's... I have learned that it's okay to feel. It's o-k-a-y.

This morning marks the beginning of a very long journey. When years of medical struggles collide into the inevitable. When you become a transplant patient, life changes.

I have come to peace with what I could never control...my health. I have now come face to face with my greatest battle, one of two back-to-back surgeries and months of recovery.

I have also come to peace with those estranged that are now a part of my past where they will permanently remain. I am thankful for those who gave myself and Eric information that allowed for much needed closure. I have amazing trauma therapists who continue to help me heal from years of psychological abuse. They will play a critical part during all aspects of my surgical and recovery process.

This morning, my adoptive parents and soul siblings will be meeting myself and Eric to begin a very long journey in hopes of continuing to extend my life. I am not only blessed but beyond grateful for their overwhelming support and unconditional love. With great trauma therapy, this is something I learned that I have lacked for over a decade..loved ones who support and love me unconditionally.

God is good. Life is good. There are still good souls left in this world. Remember...YOU my friends are forever blessed. 

"Keep On, Keeping On"
