Feel free to print the book if you have a little one in your life (2-6 yrs) who would like to read it. It is for personal use only (not to be sold in whole or in part) and I would ask that if you enjoy it and would like someone else to have a look, you link back to here. [Read more]

Ok, another very busy day (in spite of having less than adequate supplies of energy). The kids were a huge help. So was Vickie as she has been ever since my symptoms began coming back with a vengeance last week. She goes beyond giving me rides to the hospital and has been calling to arrange [Read more]
…ludicrous generally refers to something so ridiculous it is laughable. I am no where near laughing at this situation yet but I liked the illiteration.

Another day hospital free 🙂 and still feeling fairly good (a little tired but none of the fatigue I dealt with before the solumedrol treatment. Still working at controling my appetite and I do feel like I may be making some ground (very minimal but some). I delivered the letter requesting a [Read more]
It was only a matter of time apparently before Dr.Crawford would be influenced by others at the hospital in this ridiculous idea that I should only be allowed pain relief for certain amounts of time and then it’s just too bad so sad, deal with it. Or at lest that is the only thing I can [Read more]
