Healing Out Loud With Crysta

This one has me saying absolutely NOT. 😅
If permanent daylight saving time happened, we'd be looking at VERYYY late winter sunrises around here. I already struggle enough with mornings..and I don't know if I'd survive it still being dark until almost 9:00. 😩
I know some people love having more daylight in the evenings, but I think I'd rather keep the way we do it now than have dark mornings all winter long.

What do y'all think? Would you rather have permanent daylight saving time, permanent standard time, or just keep changing the clocks twice a year?

Yall... we literally had the BEST breakfast of our lives. I genuinely mean that. I can't think of a single breakfast that's ever topped this..
Con Huevos! completely surpassed our expectations. Honestly, everything on the menu looked so good it made it hard to choose... so we didn't. 🤣
Jake got the pork carnitas hash... I got the breakfast bowl with no red peppers or avocado... plus a side of the chorizo biscuits and gravy. I had no idea you could make gravy with chorizo, but it was INSANELY good. We also shared a classic stack of pancakes. He had a black coffee... I had the dulce de leche frappe.
I only managed one biscuit, about a quarter of my breakfast bowl, and a few bites of the pancakes... and over two hours later I'm still in a full blown food coma. 😂 (literally still so full 😋😬)
We went to the Frankfort Avenue location and every single thing was perfect... the food, the service, even where we were seated. This is 100% a must try if you're in Louisville!

Welp.
Didn’t intend this to happen.
Going into surgery on Friday to clean out the ulcer, do steroid injections & do a cell graft to promote healthy skin to grow back and not the granular.
They’re going to attempt to push my hernia back in some.
We did this surgery several months back.
Fingers crossed that it goes as great as it did last time.
Prayers and good vibes are always accepted.

You ever forget to pull your underwear down with your pants and p*e in your un**es then have to discard them in the bathroom trash that is located IN your doctors office???
Just me?? 😩😩😩
I haven’t even seen the doctor yet.

Haven’t slept because my head is hurting so bad.
But, I have an appointment with my surgeon & stoma nurse at 8:30 in downtown Louisville.
Fingers crossed for relief with this pressure ulcer & migraine

Totally not crying… 🤣

I just can't stop yawning.

My POTS is flaring… my migraine decided to come back early tonight… and my anxiety is being a full blown bruja.

Fun fact… did you know anxiety can make you yawn?

Every time my POTS makes me feel like I'm about to pass out, I panic… and when I panic, I yawn nonstop. My eyes water so much from all the yawning that it looks like I'm sitting here crying.

The more you know. 💁‍♀️

3 am bag changes because you’re in so much pain, literally the worst. Tylenol only does so much. Hoping to get in to do a round of steroid injections soon.
Absolutely miserable. ☹️
That’s it. That’s the post.

Tylenol, caffeine, cold cap, peppermint stick and obviously my ajovy is failing me.
I am MISERABLE..
This migraine hit me around 2:30 and it’s only getting worse 😓😓
Any recommendations on any quick fixes even if it’s just temporary relief??

If I tell y'all my new obsession... do y'all promise not to buy them all out? 🤣🤣🤣

They're 55 crackers for one serving... they taste SO dang good. Even Jake, who absolutely hates pineapple, said he was really impressed by these. 😬

Now please... leave a couple boxes for me because my ADHD has decided this is my current hyperfixation food... and we all know once that happens, I'm gonna eat them until my brain randomly decides it's over. 😂🙃
