That’s a Borderline Embarrassing Thing to Write Online

That is a big f*cking lie.

Welcome to a new week Word Nerds!

Deep breath = Here is the usual schpeal I say at the beginning of each week. But fret not. Skip ahead to the new words down below (beneath the line), if you’ve read this Monday Hello before.

My Substack is where I am able to express myself creatively, share on all sorts of topics (not exclusively sickness) and it helps me to archive this “ongoing legacy” that I HOPE is the continual memoir project I’ve started.

Here, anyone who needs or wants a scholarship gets one… because kind friends help support the writing there, even if it’s just $5.

I write (now) every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (barring emergency… and sometimes, even then).

Why check out my column on CF News Today every Wednesday?

It’s the place where I write about illness with much less prose, and a lot more clarity. For some, this sort of “to the point” approach to medicine is refreshing when trying to understand a complicated disease, new test results, or any other sort of updates.

But here?

Here is where we (hopefully) get to hang out- imperfections, typos, and all.

Hopefully you enjoy some new words cooked up just for you.

This week I did more than I ever could have imagined.

But… well, it was actually technically “last week” since I write after each week is finished.

I don’t know if these sort of scrapbook scraps are even worthwhile?

Are they something someone wants to read about or… just for my own memory’s sake? (Shot to hell from anesthesia, higher meds and the fact I should probably do Crossword puzzles or something.)

Anyways…

This Week:

I have something hugely positive I want to share and I want to etch down in “permanent ink” so I can remember I achieved it…
