What nobody tells you is that you become the patient, the pharmacist, the chemist, and the mathematician all at once. https://whatnobodytold.me/journal/injection-day-1.html https://whatnobodytold.me/journal/injection-day-1.html Sun, 14 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT A voicemail saying everything looked good and to start injections that night — and the bloodwork results that appeared without any context for what the numbers actually meant. https://whatnobodytold.me/journal/medication-delivery.html https://whatnobodytold.me/journal/medication-delivery.html Wed, 10 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Costco shipment arrived a day late.

The afternoon I logged into a two-hour virtual orientation with a room full of strangers, cameras off, all of us beginning something. https://whatnobodytold.me/journal/first-appointment.html https://whatnobodytold.me/journal/first-appointment.html Fri, 27 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT A 45-minute call with my doctor, months before any of it felt real.
