Undiagnosed – An Open Letter to the Man Who Saved My Life

Dear Bryan,

You may not realize this, but it’s been two and half years since you saved my life with a single phone call.

In June of 2012 I began experiencing episodes of shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing, and severe reflux. I also started having “attacks” in the middle of the night in which I would wake up feeling like my body was on fire, choking and gasping for breath with my heart pounding and my bowels contracting. Every time it happened I would reach over and touch my husband and whisper goodbye because I was sure I was about to die.

And now I can sing like Adele.
I’m serious, you guys.

The Hot Dog and the Bun

It was an ordinary family dinner.

I don’t know how it all could have gone so horribly wrong.

TMarie and a Bitch Named Steve

There’s nothing worse than a long, drawn out bunch of snivel in a confession – so I’ll keep this short.
