As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok. When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.
Today I was doing rounds at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. It is common to have many folks hanging out in the waiting rooms outside of the surgical ICU waiting for the "5 ...2 Recommendations8 Comments -
Yesterday afternoon I was trying to work from home but my Beagle and Corgi wouldn't leave me alone. They are hooked on Beggin' Strips and my husband had given them the last of the package while he was having breakfast. Around 3 o'clock I couldn't take the Beagle scratching at the kitchen island and the Corgi barking at me any more so I headed to the local Kmart (...2 Recommendations7 Comments

My husband is going in for heart surgery on the 29th of January and has to have a CAT Scan next Monday so they can see if he has a heart, lol!
Anyway, he likes me to make all appointments,etc. in his life so I did. I made it for the early afternoon so he could take off work and then just come home. He just texted me asking if he had to do anything special in preparation for the CAT Sca...1 Recommendation7 Comments -

Today was finally cardiologist day. First I had an echocardiogram, which apparently showed that my heart is in good shape except for the A fib. That's a relief. Then saw the cardiologist who talked fast and told me to wear a Holter monitor for 48 hours starting right away, then come back April 1 for a nuclear stress test (which doesn't sound lovely), and a follow-up appo...1 Recommendation5 Comments

This is turning out to be a wonderful weekend! I'm no longer employed (except contract work) and it feels so GOOD.
I have met so many wonderful people here at DS and can blame my happiness on all of you. Without your support I don't know where I'd be today. I hope that I can repay each and every one of you with the support and kindness you've shown me!
THANK YOU ALL!2 Recommendations3 Comments -
The Search Is Over - Survivor
How can I convince you
what you see is real
Who am I to blame you
for doubting what you feel
I was always reachin',
you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you
I was living for a dream,
loving for a moment
Taking on the world,
that was just my style
Now I look into your eyes,
I can see forever
The search is over,
you were with me all th...1 Recommendation2 Comments -
