My Health
Context for this page:
Most Recent Update: 9/26/2024
My health has been quite complicated since 2019 and in reality since 2017. I have posted some things about my health on my personal Facebook timeline and other social media outlets. Support from my friends got me through 3 months of hospitalization for a rare bacterial infection causing acute vertebral Osteomyelitis with discitis in my spine. I had been gradually improving, and got much better for a short time in 2024. But things turned much worse in April and diagnostics showed me with the need for open spine surgery. The spine surgeon required cardiology clearance prior to the spine surgery. During the cardiology diagnostics, it has become clear that I need heart surgery. Additional diagnostics are required on my heart and vascular system.
I'm going to be refining this page but for the time being I'm going to update it with things I've posted on social media. This page will possibly have more detailed information. And things not posted elsewhere.
I'm going to reduce what I post on social media about my health and my friends can check here to see how I'm doing or if I'm still doing.
I'm in a lot of pain and what's going on with my heart is scary. But I'm going to try to be as productive as I can. I feel I've made a reasonable contribution to society, but there are things I've learned that I still want to share. I know people are going to tell me to slow down. I pace myself. Right now the pace is just slower, but occasionally I may release content and videos in batches that make it seem like like I'm pushing too hard. I would welcome people who would like to work with me on some projects. You need to be able to write and take photos at the minimum. I'm willing to tutor on things like photography and video production for the purposes of having someone continue my work. Free stuff would be involved.
Here's the first shared posting on Facebook.
