365 Days Since
Today marks 1 year that my illness began, its also 6 days since a specialist confirmed that its highly unlikely I will ever be able to return to the kitchen for a full shift and will be in some sort of pain for the rest of my life.
To all those who have stood by me during the time I first started in the culinary field in 2011 until now, you have my unconditional respect.
To everyone who checked in on me at some point over the past year all I can say is thank you, it was greatly appreciated and helped to keep me mentally focused on being positive.
Moving forward my blog http://kreamzkreations.tumblr.com will continue to upload original content that I have created and when im physically able I will continue to create new projects.
From myself, my family and management we thank you for your support

Health Status Update & The Future of The Blog
After consulting with my Osteopath Dr. Ramsey and Neuropsychologist Dr. Nicholls I decided to seek treatment and answers to my puzzling condition overseas in Toronto. I was pointed into the direction of Dr. McDonald who was a different kind of Osteopathic doctor, he has extensive training in different areas of Chinese medicine and acupuncture techniques. After my first examination from him he ordered a special set of ultrasound scans before giving me his medical opinion. He found that several of my ribs on both sides were out of their cartilage slots in both the sternum and spine, the nerves along the rib heads that were out of position to be constantly firing and unable to shut off, many of the vertebrae in my spine were either twisted out of place or stuck in position and not moving which was pulling muscles all over my body, my diaphragm was damaged and twisted out of shape on the left side causing muscles from my groin, thigh, hamstring and ankle to be strain. Along with that long list of problems the 3 types of nerve pain you can experience I was getting in several locations in my chest and ribs sometimes all at the same time. Which squashed the nonsense theories I was giving back home by a Neurologist, Rheumatologist and Psychologist on it being a mental condition that manifested itself into uncontrollable pain or that I was suffering from some kind of depression that I was unwilling to come to terms with.
So his theory was that I experienced some kind of trauma to the middle of chest that maybe tore ligaments holding my chest together and as an act of desperation my body shifted itself out of alignment in order to survive but it has come at a hefty price. So far after 7 weeks of intense treatments my body under no matter the amount of force and manipulation from infrared lasers, acupuncture needles, spine stretching machines from a chiropractor and the super painful process of pushing my ribs back into their slots have not worked. My body refuses to be corrected back into its natural position, by never holding my ribs in place for long or at times it would force my spine to shift out of its alignment in order to try to lock my ribs into place. Most of the time it results in a painful popping of my ribs out of their slots, or restricting my chest from expanding correctly and causing my breathing struggles.
It was also discovered that if DR. CINDY FLOWER of Barbados a Rheumatologist had actually done her FUCKING job and not rushed my examination to push the diagnosis of mental depression or mental trauma she should’ve been able to notice that I had trauma to my chest and maybe a rib out of its slot. Maybe that could’ve changed the outcome of me suffering 10 months of unspeakable pain that can’t be eased by any forms of medication and signs of liver damage
I was already warned from both the Osteopath and Chiropractor that even after all of the treatments I might never fully be able to return to my former physical condition and this has led me at the point in time to accept the fact my chef career is truly over and start the process of focusing on quality of life and what is next for me in terms of a professional working career.
This statement might be premature but I want to thank everyone who has stood by me from 2011 until now is the culinary journey that took a lost delinquent wasting time UWI to Skills Training, Pommarine Hospitality Institute, St. Lawrence College and into the workforce. Your support and encouragement has been priceless to me and pushed me to always dream bigger and never stop trying to create. I will keep this blog up and running and will continue to post former creations and if I have the strength sometimes do an original food project. I don’t know what the future holds for me but thank you for being here anyways.
