Well, here we are in May, and I am now updating you on the winter. Shall I go ahead and tell you about April while I’m at it? I might as well! The year got started right by seeing my allergy/asthma doctor and switching off a medicine I’ve been on for a decade and taking one that I only have to take one time a day. It has gone well so far, so I hope it keeps working! Taking one…
Yes, I know it’s currently the middle of January, and it’s been officially winter for almost a month, and I am way past the day I should have been writing this, but you know what? It’s been a long year, and it just started, and last year was just as bad. Mix that with not knowing what to say, and that makes for a little procrastination, therefore: this post. I always feel like there isn’t much to cover until I…
It’s fitting that as I write this update, I am currently at the beach. It is my summer update, after all. Now, don’t look at me like I am crazy and ask, “But what about the pandemic?!” My family and I are in our own beach house on a semi-private beach, so I’ve been around fewer people this past week than I would have been at home.

Here I sit in my air-conditioned office, hiding from the heat of summer blazing outside these freshly painted walls. It almost seems silly to call this a “spring” update when it’s been summertime for what feels like ages. At the same time, I don’t know how it became June already, let alone July. I’m finally used to writing “June” in my journal, and now it will change again, leaving ink marks where I unthinkingly write the wrong month. But, the…
It’s been a long winter, y’all. January was pretty quiet. I got a few colds but did my best to stay well for my February 3 appointment at Hershey since we were doing a repeat chest CT to see if what was in my lungs was from a viral infection or if it was whatever has been growing in there. I will note, toward the beginning of the month a lot of my family members got sick with something odd,…
It seems like it is easiest to do an update every couple of months instead of more frequently because sometimes there is a lot that has changed; other times, not much is different. My last major update was about the bronchoscopy, and to be honest, not a lot has changed since then. I visited my Infectious Disease doctor in July, had a CT done that showed things have changed some, and I had a rib that was healing that I…
