"So..." The single word, said in a way that only a mother could deliver crushes my spirits leaving me with no other option than to bury my face in my arms on the countertop and silently pray that death would do me a favor and take me right then and there. "Could you explain this for me?" Pulling my face from where I had buried it when it becomes clear that death has no interest in doing me a favor, I wipe a few tears as I look at the screen of my laptop. On it is the homepage of a forum and chatroom that I've been secretly visiting for the past few years, usually when my mom was gone or not looking. But I had gotten a little too confident

A New Normal - 5
Maybe it’s because of where I am. Maybe it’s because of what happened to me. Maybe it’s the fact that I haven’t eaten solid food for over a month, but applesauce is fucking delicious! As the spoon is slowly pulled from my mouth, I smile like an idiot at the taste of pureed apple and cinnamon. How can I not? This is the first thing that I’ve eaten in over a month that isn’t a liquid of some kind. Slowly I move my jaw and tongue, taking my time to swallow. I’m still idiotically weak. I may be able to move my hands and fingers to varying degrees, but my arms are still out of the question. I can smile

Simon laid in bed. It had been a year since his accident and well. It hadn't ended well. Simon was a C2 complete. Able to talk but he couldn't do anything else on his own. He couldn't breathe. Get out of bed. Anything.

Don't be. TBH, I'm kinda hoping to get one. Long story short, I had major stomach surgery back in 2009 based on a diagnosis that turned out to be wrong (what I actually had would have been treated with behavioral therapy). Since then, I haven't been able to break past my pre-op weight and at the moment, I would like to be back at my pre-op weight. I've been trying to get this issue dealt with for several years and I don't know how many drugs I've tried. Based on what my doctor told me during my last visit, if what I'm trying now doesn't work (and it's not), the next step would likely be an NG tube and, assuming I can tolerate it, a PEG tube. Personally, if it means getting back to a normal weight and a normal life, I'll take it.
