There is a slight chance -- a very slight chance -- that someday I will listen to what my doctors tell me, and then follow their instructions.
I use several different medications for a variety of medical problems. When I take them, I usually start feeling better. Maybe that is the problem -- feeling better. I sometimes get to the point where I feel so good, that...

I finally had a good night’s sleep. I went to bed, watched TV for about an hour, turned everything off, and conked out for eight hours. I woke up feeling refreshed.
This morning, most of the pain I have been having from the infections seems to have disappeared. I have my fingers crossed it will stay that way. I still have to call my docto...1 Recommendation8 Comments -

Yesterday was a busy one for me, but at least I got a few things accomplished. In the morning I saw my mental health therapist (Dale), and in the afternoon, I saw my primary care physician, as well as his social worker.
Dale and I discussed the family conference I had with my brother and sister. I told him I had not been happy about...1 Recommendation6 Comments -

This is turning out to be another strange week. Today it was 70°, tonight we are supposed to have snow showers, and tomorrow night, it will be 18°. Mother Nature is still playing games with us since it is not supposed to be winter until December 21.
In keeping with the spirit of the season, my brother, one of his daughters, and one ...1 Recommendation3 Comments -
My husband and I have been waffling back and forth about having another child. Our son is a BEAUTIFUL, smart, wonderful boy, but he was a VERY difficult baby and he took a lot out of us. He had horrible acid reflux and screamed almost non-stop for the first 4 months of his life. I also suffered moderate post partum depression and it was very hard on my marriage. Whenever I ...1 Recommendation6 Comments

I am probably beginning to sound like a broken record, but not everything has gone as well as expected this week, and I am not feeling as good as I would like.
The test I had for a UTI turned out to be positive, and I have been placed on an antibiotic to which I am allergic. In spite of this, I am going to try and stay on it until I see my urologist next week.

It seems as though I have been spending the better part of the last couple of days worrying about my upcoming counseling session with my brother on Monday. Some of his nasty remarks, made at our last session, still linger bitterly in my mind.
Out of all my relatives, my brother is the one who scares me the most. Some of the things he has said to me in the pa...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

I was sitting at my computer, Sunday afternoon, when all of a sudden I heard what sounded like small rocks hitting the window. For a few minutes, I tried ignoring it, but then I thought it might be some of the younger children in the apartment complex tossing rocks at my windows (it would not have been the first time), so I went to my living room to lo...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

We had another bad storm last night, which began about 10 PM. There were two tornadoes, winds up to 80 mph, an inch or more of rain within half an hour, hail ranging from quarter size to ping-pong ball size, and as much as six inches of hail in some parts of the city. Severe lightning and an abundance of thunder accompanied this.
All of this started after I ha...1 Recommendation4 Comments -
My Mother took a fall yesterday,and thankfully it turned out that she was OK! It just brought up a lot of feelings since I have power of attorney,and they had to call me for consent to treat her. Thankfully I happened to be home,and it really made me think about what would happen if it happened that they couldn't reach me. This just puts a lot of res...1 Recommendation3 Comments
