Another Battle To Fight
Today I want to update another fight I now face.
When I was placed in segregation, at the Danville C.C. in October of 2016, I was not allowed to supplement my diet from the commissary. Each day I was placed in a position of eating soy and getting sick, or starving. I was in segregation from October 25th to December 19th, of 2016.
The soy based diet had me locked up like Fort Knox.
It was then that I first started bleeding out of my bowels.
Then in 2019, I was again placed in segregation on a bogus ticket. It would be expunged too.
Finding The Win
But the damage was done.
From September 13th, 2019, to November 13th of 2019, I found myself in segregation. Forced to eat the soy based meals to survive. I started bleeding again.
This time it did not stop.
It took a long time before the Wexford Medical staff took me serious. At Shawnee from March of 2017, to March of 2019, I was given medical kits to test for blood. But nothing was done once I turned them in.
I was sent to East Moline in March of 2019, to November of 2019. Nothing was done there either.
At Pinckneyville from November of 2019, to February of 2020. Nothing done about it again.
Bad News
Finally placed at the Illinois River C.C. in February of 2020. But nothing scheduled and done until June 21, 2021. On that day I was taken to the Graham Hospital in Canton, Illinois. Dr. Erin Bailey did a colonoscopy. It was not good news.
Colon cancer.
So I ask, “would the outcome of that medical procedure been different if the Wexford Medical Staff would have taken me serious in 2016, when I reported the bleeding at the Danville C C. Segregation Unit?”
So now I got another battle to fight.
I must hope this has not spread throughout my body. I will do the surgery and chemo treatments to beat it. So the universe, and powers that be, are again going to test my mettle.
But I know I can beat this. Dr. Bailey says we can beat this. But the battle is not going to be easy.
I have good and bad days now. So once the chemo starts this will be hell.
