  • Me and My Body Pt 2

    Two weeks ago, I prayed as I walked into the facility that would do the scan. I prayed because I procrastinated like always and didn’t get the Diazepam from the pharmacy for my MRI appointment for my left shoulder. The Diazepam was supposed to relax me during the procedure.

  • My Type 2 Diabetes

    I remember several years ago, after my diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, how I broke out with rashes under both of my breasts. Very red, itchy, bumpy rashes. I can recall being extremely uncomfortable, so much so I couldn’t wear a bra. Thank God I was living by myself because my breasts bothered me so…
