Best Laid Plans

By Joe

Well, yesterday did not go as planned. In the last few weeks, I’ve been suffering from increasingly worse nausea. When I got in my car to leave for work, the nausea had gotten so bad, and I was suffering from so much motion sickness that I knew I could not drive. I called in sick, went back inside, and tried to remain as still as possible. I took my anti-nausea medicine and eventually I started feeling better. The nausea never fully went away, and I developed a migraine. I contacted my doctor, and it appears that all of this was caused by an increase in two of my medications. I’ve gone back to the decreased dosage, and hopefully, things will be better today. I’m not sure how long it will take to reverse the side effects, because it took weeks for things to build up to this point. Time will tell.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
