Laying here waiting….I have a procedure tomorrow to see what is going on with my esophagus. I burp. I gurgle. And sometimes I throw up. Not all of the time but enough to where I cough at night when I lay down to go to bed. And I have since November. And yes as you can imagine it sucks.

So turning 50 is amazing in a lot of ways. My give a shit meter as at an all time low – which is great. But physically I am a mess. My allergies are getting worse (and I keep putting off shots). This coughing and then I had to go to one of those ERs on the corner because I woke up in so much back pain. Come to find out – 2 bulging discs in my lower back. And my spine is narrowing down there too. Fun! Who knew, right? Well now I might if PT doesn’t work have to have a spine doctor. Yap. Hello 50! But I refused to be the kid in the scooter at Walmart because of something I did or didn’t fix when I could. No! Fuck that! I will be my great grandmother and get into her trees and prune them from the inside out at 94. Ok well we will see how tomorrow goes. May the odds be ever in your favor. lb
