Tag: Recovery 2025

It’s been a while since I did a health update… and there’s a reason for that… there’s nothing new to say.

I’ve been doing monthly treatments for my bowels; an infusion through the veins of some drug whose name I can’t recall, but it’s been doing wonders in some ways and aggravating in others. I haven’t felt much pain unless I ate something that didn’t agree with me, but my stools have become a bit less solid, as it were. It also doesn’t help that I’ve had some stressful periods that have hindered recovery at times.

Still, it’s not so bad. Other than a few sour periods, it’s been business as usual. Going about my usual activities, I’ve been getting some stuff done, my appetite has gotten better, and I’ve been able to take some walks without getting exceedingly tired. I’ve had more good days than I’ve had bad, but there are times when it feels like things are regressing.

It’s been a little over a month since my recent hospitalization. If you haven’t heard, I suffered a pulmonary embolism and a relapse of Crohn’s. I won’t go into the details here; there’s a Bite Commentary that I posted last week which pretty much has that covered. I implore you to read it because it paints a clear picture in terms of health.

So I’ve reached the point to where I’m more or less back to the same state that I was before. I’m breathing a little better, I’m moving a little better, I’m back to my usual daily routine (for the most part), I’ve been continuing my meds and even got my first major treatment a week or so ago, which went by rather smoothly.

I want to say that I’m in a better place right now, but at the moment, I’m just… not quite where I need to be. Hell, I’m not even sure if I’ll ever get there… but one day at a time, I’ve been told. We’ll see…
