The Mysterious Companion Who Never Leaves My Side: An Unexpected Friendship With My Lifesaving Device

Living with sarcoidosis and heart failure means sharing life with a quiet, loyal device that tracks every flutter, every scare, and every stubborn heartbeat. This is the story of the strange, funny, and unexpectedly comforting friendship that has kept me alive for nearly two decades.

Full Disclosure: This blog is written by me—a real human with a chronic illness, a chef’s knife, and a heart full of stories. Sometimes I lean on AI for grammar touch-ups, structure tweaks, or a dash of SEO magic. I use AI to generate images related to the posts. But every word, every thought, and every bit of beautiful chaos? That’s all mine.
