Something I don’t talk about

So one thing I haven’t talked too openly about in my life is my health. I’ve had a journey that’s for sure. I’ve been sick my whole life and I don’t mean just an average cold or anything like that I mean I’ve been in the hospital since I was young sick. Some of my earliest memories are being in the hospital puking my guts out.

A few years back I went through what I thought was for sure going to end my life. I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer and was taking steps to make sure I could survive until my youngest birthday. Then I found out I was misdiagnosed and learned that colon cancer is one of the most misdiagnosed cancers out there but still no real clear understanding of what was happening with me.

Several doctors and a tens of thousands of dollars spent and even today we don’t have a clear understanding of what is happening. One of the things they seem to be sure of is I have something called NAFLD also known as Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. From what I’m told this is one of the reasons I struggle losing weight and it also has a host of other issues that come with it.

Why am I telling you this? Mostly because it seems to be getting worse I once was able to tell when I was having an issue there were signs that would come up and I know I needed to lay in bed for a few days to avoid any further injury as the symptoms sometimes cause me to lose consciousness almost instantly. So Sunday night January 7, 2024 I went to bed like normal but half way through the night I woke up in one of my liver fits. I came to do the show Monday the 8th and couldn’t finish the show because I was getting weaker and weaker by the minute.

This is by far the worst it has been in a long time and it looks like it’s knocked me out for two days at minimum. Which sucks because I have a lot going on this year and this week and now I’m not able to do any of them. I can’t help it but I hate that I’m not doing what I love. I hate being laid up in bed. I hate being immobile. I hate that my health seems to be declining on me.

So with a little hope and a lot of prayer I should be back on the air Thursday January 11, 2024 to cover all the news and talk a little about what I’ve been going through. Until then y’all will have to excuse me for missing a few days…if I could help it I would be there trust me please just be patient with me.
