On May 23rd, 2026, a walk that used to take thirty minutes without a second thought stopped me cold on the sidewalk. What followed was physical therapy, a diagnosis I didn't expect, and a slow return to something as ordinary as walking to the corner and back.
This is the story of how years of sitting for a living finally caught up with me — and how getting back on my feet has me paying attention to things I hadn't thought much about in years.
I'm documenting what happens from here as I get stronger and figure out what comes next.
