Rhab who???

Well,

I have been promising and promising to restart this lovely blog of mine – and here we are. I hope in the upcoming weeks I find the energy to chronicle all that has happened because it is pretty spectacular in all its highs and lows. What I do know for a fact is I AM ONE LUCKY MAN.

So to anchor the flurry or information that is about to enter cyber space via my trusty keyboard, the current “wizdom” that I am chasing… How to deal with a disease that can potentially take my life, while maintaining my stellar smile and often pleasant disposition? The disease you may ask… a lil ditty we shall call rhabdo, his full name ‘rhabdomyolysis’. Click here for a description. For the record, I didn’t fall off a bridge, nor have I over dosed on cocaine, I happen to have the kind that results from an infection. I will be going back and forth in time to keep you up to date with what’s happening now, and fill you in on a mountain of stories from the journey here.

Be warned, I am not the most serious guy on the face of the earth, so I may at times make light of what is serious. I think I have earned the right!!! My disease, my blog, my rules!!!! But honestly, I think if you lose the ability to laugh, there’s not much hope, so if you think I cross a line, please please please let someone else know, don’t tell me!!!!  LOLOLOL

I head to my family doctor in a half day or so. I will let you know how it goes – it’s always an adventure at the GP. Last time I ended up heading to emergency and having three people stick their fingers in my eye while telling me to relax. Here take a second, stink (should be stinck, thanks Dtrini) your finger in your eye to the point where you start seeing blood vessels at the side… now take a quick check, are you relaxed??? Grrrrrr.

I know none of this makes sense just yet, but stick around long enough… message me to encourage me to be consistent, and at the least I promise to keep you entertained. You may learn something along the way as well. Our medical system in Ontario has not done me right, and I’m determined to navigate through until I find a solution. I promise to share whatever I can so that you never have to endure what I have.  Again you must be saying, what on earth is he talking about… stay with me, if there is one thing anyone who knows me will tell you… that guy LOVES to talk!

And if for some freakish reason you have found me because you or someone you know has rhabdo, please message me asap.

I look forward to venting, I hope you look forward to reading.
