  • Red sky at morning, sailors take warning

    Sunday, August 31, 2008 | An Anxious story

    The sky is red right now, as the sun comes up.  
    BUT... IT IS BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW!  It's not humid.  Not hot.  Not anything but pleasant and calm.
    I feel nervous and anxious.  Jittery.  Wired.  Jumpy.  
    I couldn't sleep.  I got up when my roomie left for work at 5 am.  Last minute closing duties.  They have to secure ...

  • traction????

    Saturday, September 13, 2008 | An Anxious story

    So my doctor calls and says I 3 appointments for "traction" therapy this nex week. He didn't explain what that would entail, he just said it would help relieve some of the disc compression. I looked online and it appears as though they place you on a table, then inver you and stretch you out. I am 5 foot tall and weigh 285 ok. Would't the sheer gravity be painful initself? I am ...

    Too much happening all at one time.....
    My Aunt, as some of you know, I actually moved to Dallas, because she needed help. Well, she is almost 90 and she fell a week ago and we are just now finding out that she actually broke her back (two vertebrea) She cannot undergo the surgery that she needs due to blood thinners (cumadin)... She is off of that now and they have to wait for her blood to thicke...

  • RAI

    Thursday, July 9, 2009 | An Anxious story

    The doctor just told me that he thinks that the best thing to do is to do RAI. I am a little scare about all of this. I think is mainly due to the unknown. I don't know what is going to happen and what to expect so I am anxious and scared. But I know God has everything on his hand.
