October 3, 2024

It is October already and I can not believe I am here in a Virginia prison. I have been fighting constantly to get my medications, much to no avail. It is almost like they are doing it on purpose. I am weak and sleep quite a lot lately. I am just waiting to have the lawsuit filed and to get to the next phase of my life: the healing phase with my doctors. I have never wanted to be stuck with a needle so badly as I do right now for my IVIG treatments. I just want to feel better, a bit more normal.

Yesterday I was threatened by the assistant warden's secretary and the woman in charge of operations. They threated me to not use the TIP line anymore and that they have all my phone messages recorded and saved. The thing is, I have never left any phone message and I do not know what they are talking about. Not nice people.
