Well my biopsy is done. I am waiting for the results. They think it is just an eczemic type lesion. He found one on my lower back also. He called this morning but I chickened out and didn't pick up. He won't leave a message. I admit I am a little nervous.
He also put me back on Doxycycle. I tried so hard to talk him out of it. I am irritated ...1 Recommendation

I started off the week feeling really good about everything that's going on and was really looking forward to having my husband out this weekend. Well, I still haven't come up with the money for his bond. I came up with like 75 dollars so far and I need that for gas and a little bit of food. I have some other things that are supposed to sell but I'm not anywhere near the figure I need...1 Recommendation -

It hardly seems possible that as of tomorrow, it will be a month that Rob has been gone. It's nice knowing that I've made it through the 1st month ok but, I still miss him sooo much. Some of the things that some people have to get use to when their spouse dies, I was already use to. Such as going away to the store or other place without them and sleeping alone.

Tuesday, November 17, 2009 |
It's been almost 3 months since we put alex to rest. I still get people who have no idea what is going on ask me how me and alex are doing. Josh and I are both coping the best way that we can. If we can get through the holidays it will be a miracle.
I still cry myself to sleep some nights, i still keep seeing alex in my dreams. We are close enough to where he is buried that we can see him on ...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

I was asked a question over the weekend and it got me to thinking.
If I could change anything about the way I raised my own children what would it be? The thing that I would have to say would be I would have only worked outside the home the hours they were in school. I would have probably stayed more involved in their personal lives. Spent more quality time with them. I wor...3 Comments -

Families of Prisoners Information
This community is dedicated to families that have been disrupted by prison. A prison, penitentiary, or correctional facility is a place in which individuals are physically confined or interned and usually deprived of a range of personal freedoms. Prisons are conventionally institutions which form part of the criminal justice system of a country, such that imprisonment or incarceration is a legal penalty that may be imposed by the state for the commission of a crime.
As of 2006, it is estimated that at least nine million people are currently imprisoned worldwide. It is believed that this number is likely to be much higher, in view of general under-reporting and a lack of data from various countries, especially authoritarian regimes. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the prison population in most countries has increased significantly.
In absolute terms, the United States currently has the largest inmate population in the world, with more than 2 million in prison and jails. In 2002, both Russia and China also had prison populations in excess of 1 million.
