    Thank You All So Much!
    Thank you for your support through this long and painful ordeal.
    My mom is now at rest. She's no longer in pain. My brother took it very hard, and so did my sister. I'm doing OK. I guess it's because mom was here every day and I knew and saw what was happening, while my brother and sister lived so far from us.
    Today I'm going to climb to a beautiful summit, wit...

  • back down again

    Monday, June 23, 2008

    Oh my gosh this is so hard. I thought I was prepared and I guess I am to a point but when I cared for my grandma she did not suffer this much. My poor mother is in so much pain with her bones. I sit right there and cry along with her. I just can not help it. It is horrible to see a parent have to suffer so much. She has tried in a roundabout way to get me to give her an overdose. I know she is so...

    911
    ...
    Sorry I haven't been around in a while, but this time of the year really gets to me. 911 is a day I'll never forget. My friend Gregg Atlas, NYFD, was killed that day when tower number 2 fell on him as he was trying to save the lives of the others who died. I also remember the Twin Towers from working in NYC. I remember going up to the top a few times. I remember all the people. I re...

    Sunday, October 19, 2008 | A Painful story

    What was supose to be a 5 minute painless surgery,
    turned into the worst half hour of my life.
    Went in for a minor surgery, which I had done 17 years ago,
    and it had took 5 minutes and no pain at all.
    Well this time around, It was done at the hospital,
    the doctor even put the green sheet on my face, and had a small hole for the one eye.
    The nurse proceeded to freeze my eye,
    and then the Lady surgeon s...

  • R.I.P. PANDA BABY

    Sunday, February 8, 2009 | A Painful story

    I just discovered that Alias Panda Baby AKA Dayzdreamer AKA Zoe passed away at the end of January. We had been very close at one time sharing recovery, cirrhosis swelling, etc.  Which makes me wonder why her and not me? I had myself a good cry over that tonight while asking that question. The answer I got was "It just isn't my time". It has made me realize that I have many frie...
