  • Update on my progress to reach my goals

    Sunday, May 25, 2008 | A Positive story

  • Things are slowly falling into place!

    Saturday, June 7, 2008 | A Positive story

    Well someone called about one of the things that I have for sale and I am happy.  I'll probably have to run the add for 3 more days - should have done that in the first place.  I am going to hand a huge sign on my Handicapped Parking sign annoucing a moving sale,  etc.  A lot of people drive by and hopefully someone will stop in and see what I have to sell.  ...

    Wednesday, September 24, 2008 | A Positive story

    Well I had the morphine pump filled today and I am still sore but not as bad as last night.  I have some stuff going on but I finally got off my duff around 5:00 today.  I really felt like sleeping more than going to the doc.  I am so excited about getting the PerMobile and the SUV.  It is proving hard to save the money for the SUV but I will do it.  I have to buy ea...
