Journal Entry 6/24/2021

I did my latest infusion yesterday. It wasn’t bad but as usual I felt pretty wiped out. I think my vision is improving — albeit slowly, but I’m excited, there’s a decent chance I might be able to get better. Today, as usual, I’m all sore and worn out, but strangely I’m still able to maintain a modicum of optimism these days. It’s pretty incredible to see noticeable change.

I think I’m going to enroll in a coding bootcamp, then perhaps pursue a career in coding / tech, I don’t know. Plenty of paperwork still with my insurance, and I have to make sure I’m dotting all the “i’s” and crossing all the appropriate “t’s” but I’m optimistic. Still things continue to improve. Tinkering with some more Python stuff. I’ve started giving me some hobby projects to play with that aren’t very practical but are fun. It’s a good way to kill time — especially since I can see a little bit better now. I think the immediate future is all going to be about getting into shape and sculpting a new career that allows the lifestyle I want for me and my family. Easier said than done, but I’m starting to build some better habits. It’s amazing what is possible with apps and technology. A simple habit tracking app has revolutionized my day to day schedule. Now I just have to keep getting healthy.

I’m not as anxious as I used to be, but I also am pretty apprehensive about how the progression of this thing is going to go. But what can I do? What possible choice to do I have but to endure and grind along. Fuck MS.
