15,000 captive macaques. One naive 22-year-old vet tech. A summer you couldn’t make up if you tried. Nobody warns you what to do when a full grown rhesus with two-inch fangs and a 350-pound bite decides to charge. In the summer of 1995, twenty-two-year-old Jeff Pennington took a job as a veterinary technician at a sprawling primate breeding facility in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Within weeks he found himself alone in a corral, net in hand, learning exactly what the fight-or-flight instinct means. And that was a normal Tuesday.

When COVID changed my life, I expected to recover. Instead, I found myself on a journey through chronic illness, unanswered questions, and a world that couldn't see what I was experiencing. This memoir is an honest account of living with an invisible illness and the challenges that followed: fatigue, dizziness, migraines, uncertainty, and losing the life I once knew. Through moments of grief, faith, and unexpected hope, I share what it was like to navigate a medical system without clear answers while holding on to the belief that my story would help someone.

One moment I was laughing with my sister at a Women’s Appreciation event… and hours later, I was fighting for my life in a hospital bed, weak, septic, and unaware of how close I was to losing everything.
