Well not COVID, but likely the flu given the sudden onset of symptoms on Thursday. Fever at 102.2. Haven’t been able to sleep so took nighttime @neocitrancanada and had green tea. Body aches like crazy. Head pounding and coughing is awful. So much to do.
February 3 dinner I could barely touch at #PeaceArchHospital.

Day two. Had a really bland & disgusting breakfast at the #PeaceArchHospital, which, lucky me, I just threw up. On top of that, I’ve been in tears because I feel so stupid. I also have to tell them that I despise coffee. God I wish I could have a cup of tea.

I googled exactly what a stroke is. This is what it said. I’m terrified to learn more about my new reality.

I’m feeling so exhausted with this.
I’m parking about two blocks away from the hospital now, in South Surrey, on some side streets that form pathways through a maze of fenced off city blocks. Behind these large steel blue barriers sit lots where older homes had sat for decades. There footprints are barely visible, as all that’s left are the grass, shrubs, and trees that landscaped each lot. It feels a little desolate, and a large development proposal sign sits in front of one of the fences, promising 12-16 story buildings with shops and almost 500 apartment units. With the number of homes that are coming, it makes me wonder why the hospital across the street didn’t get a larger ER built when it was expanded in the last few years.
I’m doing this as I can’t afford to park at the hospital anymore. It can cost anywhere between $3.20 to $10 or more per day, depending on where I’m able to park. @cityofwhiterock street parking is slightly cheaper than the lots adjacent to each side of the hospital, and both are monitored regularly.
The walk wouldn’t be so bad if I was going for regular physio for my stroke, or to appointments for group therapy or counselling - but with my foot injury, it’s putting undo stress on the toes and when I get home, and slip off my shoes, I have been finding large pockets of blood which have soaked into the front of my white socks. I’m going to need offloading footwear again - another cost I can’t afford right now. The pain in my toe is sharp, and it runs through my foot and up my leg. I try to limit the Tylenol 3 to one a day, but often I find I supplement it with extra strength nighttime Tylenol to help knock me out. But it’s not working at night. The foggy insomnia seems to have become an immutable part of my life.
I feel so behind with things again.
I feel so ashamed. So stupid. So angry. So alone.
(35/366).
The rash keeps getting worse.

I was able to bring a little friend with me. I first got this little #plushtoy bear when I was at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital in September 2021 following a major depressive episode and suicide attempt.

In their rush to get away from the infected person, some staff don’t make sure the door is closed behind them.
Should I make an escape attempt?

Feeling accomplished, having listened to a very short and concise Udemy course by Felicia Baird all about journaling as a way to build confidence.
I listened to it twice today while cutting the grass and doing yard work. And then a third time tonight starting at around 11:30pm and finishing around 2:00am. It took longer as I took notes as I listened and did the journaling prompts that popped up along the way. I took my time answering the prompts, diving deeply as I could while pondering each part. It felt good doing that. And it’s nice to knock off another udemy workshop. It helped to work through the prompts as the first ones especially helped me think about blocks I’ve had surrounding building more routine into my life through the doing of things that I love.
Overall, I really enjoyed this course, and I’m ready to turn in now!

Powered through reading the rest of the modules and taking the last few quizzes while waiting in line at the repair shop to get my lawnmower. One question wrong put me at 97.09% overall! It was a weird answer too ... multiple choice with like three correct responses but I only got two of three. It was about learning mindfulness in a group setting and one was from the point of view of an individual leading the group in the learning. Will still add to my learning journal tonight and into the weekend before starting another mindfulness course as I have like five or six modules to take notes for and make flash cards for terms I want to know better. But overall this was a very good introduction to the topic of mindfulness and I’m glad I did it.
Anxiety is a natural and normal response to stress or potential danger. However, when anxiety becomes excessive or begins to interfere with daily life, it can be a sign of an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, affecting millions of people around the world.

Today has been super hard for me. A dull persistent throbbing has sat in the bones of my lower left leg, bleeding down into my foot and the toe that fell apart earlier this month. Two Tylenol 3 tablets haven’t done much to ease the pain either, although I managed to sleep most of the day. I hate feeling so useless, so tired, unable to concentrate, unable to function like a normal human being.
My right arm has been stiff, a reminder of how I woke up around 10pm with my upper body and right leg feeling as though they were all asleep. One year since I had my stroke that my doctor said should have ended me. One year ago since snow blanketed Metro Vancouver. One year ago since I thought it couldn’t be a stroke, so I stayed home hoping I’d wake up feeling better.
I walked through the world today, step by step, on the verge of breaking into a mournful sobbing, complete with tears sweating down my face from my broken eyes. Before going into the Hillcrest Bakery, the peace Arch Hospital, and then Save-On Foods, I had to sit in my Pathfinder to settle myself into a foggy haze, a state of being that might save me from breaking down.
I felt so alone in those moments, I felt so alone today, so sad, today. I devoured two oatmeal cookies as a result, and a lot of water. But I resisted the urge to crack open any soda pop. I miss holding someone close. I miss feeling soft, warm lips gently pressed against my forehead to tell me it’s all going to be okay.

Well, this is fun. Been shivering most of the day and last night. Coughing badly. Feel more exhausted than normal. Just what I don’t have time for. Oh and my left toe is bleeding again.

Monday. I arrived at the hospital at just after 5pm, to a packed emergency room. It took a good twenty minutes to get checked in, and when I got upstairs the nurse who greeted me sternly scolded me with “you’re late.” She then proceeded to inform me that they might not be able to even treat me as the nurse assigned to treat me had now left for the day. She ended by telling me, “Go sit at the end of the hall and we’ll see what we can do.”
My heart sunk, and I wanted to just head downstairs, and let the ER provide me with my antibiotics, as that’s the procedure laid out on the door of the wound therapy wing: in short, if you miss your IV during therapy hours, proceed to the ER. I didn’t care if I’d end up waiting the rest of the night. But a few minutes later, the same nurse came and hooked me up to receive my antibiotics. And then, a second nurse came to hook my IV up to the fluids they administer once the antibiotics are in me.
I should’ve arrived earlier. There was no excuse not to. They have me at five on Monday to accommodate a course I’m in on Monday afternoon, but it’s one I’ve not been to in weeks because these antibiotics knock me out. I sleep so much, and in spite of this I still wake up exhausted. I feel so ashamed as it was a course I wanted to take so bad: Indigenous Art History. I’ve also fallen behind in a creative writing course I have on Thursday mornings. It’s last fall and last spring all over again: another term lost. With each semester that slips away, so too does my hope of ever completing my Bachelor of Fine Arts, which I had hoped to pair with a minor in Creative Writing.
I feel so broken inside. On the weekend I saw posts online featuring artists and writers giving talks, they all have MFAs which seem to be the bare minimum standard required to succeed in the arts. The monkey in my mind laughs at my failure, and glares at me with utter disgust whenever I find the courage to look at myself in the mirror.
I hate being alone. I hate being broke surrounded by stuff that should have helped me succeed. Wasted opportunities on a useless life, and I have no one to blame but myself. I have to own this.

From September 25, 2023: After abandoning a walk through the Burns Bog Conservation Park, due to the paths being flooded, we went for a walk at the Musqueam Winter Village Trail & St Mungo Interpretive Site (which is underneath and next to the south side of the Alex Fraser Bridge, in Delta, British Columbia, Canada.
These are a few photographs of some of tve interpretive signage that lined the paths I walked along. I like photographing these kind of informational signs so I can read them later on, especially at locations in other countries I might not make it back to.
I finally got to the PEACE ARCH HOSPITAL at just after 5am to a completely empty ER waiting area. I wrote up a summary of the last week with photos showing the worsening of my feet and particularly my right big toe. Also spoke to everything else that’s been going on - why I have been picking at my scars for example, and why my depression has been making me binge eat junk food. And drinking copious amounts of juice the last few days to deal with my flu. Stupidest move ever maybe.
