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...

This will be our first chlid, and we couldn't be more excited! Everything is going very well, and we expect a new member of our family to make a special first time appearance on ...5 Recommendations19 Comments -
I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.
Today I was doing rounds at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center. It is common to have many folks hanging out in the waiting rooms outside of the surgical ICU waiting for the "5 ...2 Recommendations8 Comments -

Today was finally cardiologist day. First I had an echocardiogram, which apparently showed that my heart is in good shape except for the A fib. That's a relief. Then saw the cardiologist who talked fast and told me to wear a Holter monitor for 48 hours starting right away, then come back April 1 for a nuclear stress test (which doesn't sound lovely), and a follow-up appo...1 Recommendation5 Comments

Hi all my dear sweet friends,
finally after such a long time I am now back online. What a very hard task that was too. There are only two providers that do broadband where I live and one of them I will never use again so I just had to wear all the angst about getting the other one to connect me. First they said it would be five days but here it is 8 weeks later and I have just be...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

Hi all my wonderful friends here on DS. As you can all see I am back. A lot happier than when I had to leave for a few months.
Had a visit from my sweet hubby after he passed. It happened about two months ago and at first I thought I was dreaming but I woke up and it was real. He told me to stop moping and get on with it because he will never leave me but I need to g...1 Recommendation3 Comments -
I know, something positive after all the negative? Mind boggling but it's true. Tom has not reacted badly to the Dex this time, at least not yet. He seems to have more mental energy than he does physical. His platelets dropped to 93,000 from 260,00 before but yet he's in good spirits.
While I still feel overwhelmed trying to take up slack and keep up on school, he's been fighting and t...1 Recommendation2 Comments -
This mornin my best friend (and high school crush) was in court for a 2nd chance at proving his innocense. He wasn't all smiling and laughing - he wants OUT and so do I. It hurt so bad to see him in ankle chains. We blew kisses. His mother, daughter and granddaughter & I went to support him. He's been in 14 years! The "snitch" who got a lower jail sentence for talking up my ...1 Recommendation2 Comments
