Today is rare disease day.

A disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than 1 in 2,000 individuals.

I’m fairly blunt. It’s both my best & worst quality.

Life is hard.
I’ve been having one of those life changing conversations w/a friend tonight. Who has a seat at your table? Are they folks who add to your joy? Are they folks who just take? Surround yourself w/the right people. I choose to surround myself w/love & joy.

It’s strange to mourn a version of yourself that other people still think exists.

Yesterday the words were said out loud by another. β€œYour post concussion symptoms are likely permanent”. Unfortunately, I’ve been down this road before. It’s best to embrace & move forward.

Talk to your doctor or someone at AHS to find out.

I wish it was more age inclusive as well.

Looks like it’s covered from 9 to 26. It’s also covered for certain high risk individuals up to 45.

I was told that it wasn’t covered for me as I’m over 45. Not sure what you have to do under 45.

It’s not covered by AHS if you are over 45, but it was covered by my insurance. For me, it was a three dose series. Talk to your doctor and get a prescription.

PSA

Last night I had my final HPV vax at age 53. This is just a reminder that even though the 45+ crowd are over AHS’ recommended age range of 9 to 45, us older folks can still obtain the HPV vax to protect us against various cancers and other nasty things.

Heavy Hockey Showdown 2026 for Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton (SACE) Help Michael Hebert raise money to support Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton (SACE)

Folks, I’m $450 away from hitting my target of raising $2,000 for the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton. I’d love it if you could spare $20 for an organization that helps so many survivors of sexual assault in the northern Alberta region.

So, I’ve been a bit lax w/my food, I stopped going to the gym regularly after my back surgery, I’ve gained some weight back, my joints feel terrible, I’ve got a psoriasis flare up, & I can’t get rid of this ear infection.

I’m going back to eating clean & the gym. Here’s lunch

I had the same thought. Not a single one smiled while being presented with their silver medal.

There is loss all around us.

Today, I am reminded that where there was once love, there is now grief. For me that has morphed over time into memories. I remember the people I have lost by sharing stories. It's how I continue to show my love for those that I have lost.

Beef stew I made this week. I always love making stew when we have cold weather. I might have used a whole bottle of red wine in this one. 🍷
