Chronic pain becomes chronic when it persists longer than 6 months and is resistant to medical management. Millions of Americans are chronic pain patients and some exper...

Monday Morning; "The Start of a New Life" Well......all is done. Mom's funeral, burial, her bills are paid, furniture moved out, etc. Now begins my new life. I'll never forget mom, or my dad (he died in 1982), but mom's death made a change in me. I'm going to treat myself, Margaret and others better. (Not that I've ever been hurtful to anyone) I joined a gym...
Easter Cats So, I have this really gorgeous flame point himalayan (that would be a cat for those of you who are not ailurophiles, aka cat lovers) and I had this great (ok, stupid) idea to dress him up as an Easter Bunny to take a picture and post on here for all my DS friends. I mean what could be cuter than a cat dressed up as a bunny? hmmm, the first thing that comes to mind wo...

Ok this journal may not be for everyone, but I just have to write about it, so here we go... Fun with Femine Hygiene I went to our house in Rock Hill this past weekend and because my husband wasn't expecting me I went by the grocery store to grab something for dinner. I didn't know what he had to eat at the house, so I was going to call him when I got into the store. ...
I had two doctors’ appointments this week (Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th). My doctor’s appointment on Tuesday was with a gastriologist in Toronto. I wasn't expecting to get too much out of the appointment because I have a fear of needles and she hasn't recommended any test that doesn't involve needles. We had talked about sedatives with her bu...
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...
OMG.. Just spent like two hours(!)registering online for my college classes. Some of them are going to be really fun and a couple of them I just nabbed a seat in it bec. they are only offering one section. I need to get into a couple of others more importantly but am being held back for not having the prereqs.I signed up for 16 credits and like 15 ceu's. Whew! I can say this for the winter te...
To some of you this may not seem incredible, but for some like me it has made me a true believer in my heavenly father, not that I wasn't already. I believe that God presented me with this journey at a time in my life where I felt as though I was in a very deep dark place. Twenty three years ago I married a man 15 years my senior, he was good to me for the fisrt 12 years of that ma...
