I'm finding that I'm actually making friends today, and I'm very happy for that. People are important to me, their views, their life, their experiences. If I've ever fell in love, it's been with humanity. I'm glad to be here, now, even with the trials of the last few days. It's a beautiful thing when two people connect and find a bonding thread ...

Hey all you dads out there, Happy fathers day! I don't really know my dad even though I have tried to get to know him but it just seems so fake. So over the years I just have become used to not having a dad to celebrate with on that day. I am also missing Bills dad, He died a few years back but he was a great guy and was so wonderful to me. I miss him and I know that Bill is missing him too s...1 Recommendation2 Comments

Ok I called an attorney yesterday to help me file for disability until I can get well enough to go back to nursing. It sucks but I know I can't work right now. I have a hard enough time just putting on my own shoes and the pain really is too much to function with on most days. So I started a back journal, in it I am gathering everything I can related to my back and the other...2 Recommendations3 Comments

I woke up this morning without too much of a struggle to get out of the bed and my pain was actually pretty good compared to what it has been lately. It could be because I fell asleep with the TENS unit on last night and then when I woke in the middle of the night I used the Biofreeze and took my pain meds. I haven't felt that feeling in a long time. Almost as good as sex,wh...1 Recommendation2 Comments

Today could have been a very hard day if I would have let things get to me but I didn't. My day actually started after I fell trying to get up out of bed. At first I was very suprised because I wasn't sure what had just happened. Well I called for Bill a few times and when he finally heard me he said "just a minute",lol. He had no idea I was on the floor ...1 Recommendation4 Comments

Today was such a positive day I just have to write about it! Ever since the surgery I have felt like things were falling apart and I would never be able to live a life without pain and I wouldn't even have any answers to why not. I try very hard to not give up hope but it's been 6 months now since I had the spinal fusion and knowone seems to know why I feel so bad and when I will start fe...1 Recommendation5 Comments

WOW! I did not think that I could "pull it off". Aside from making the actual traditional Christmas fudge, I've gotten together every other baked (and nonbaked) product that I would normally make for Christmas in this household. My one son made the peanut butter balls, as I was "done" b4 they were! LOL ...1 Recommendation2 Comments

every time i tried to go home, the tall slender woman with beautiffi; dark skin and her wide smile would look at me with a charm in her eyes, i would wait, walk back in forth in that little glass room, stareing out the window to the world i was thinking of leaving. i saw people all moveing to the same song, music, filled the air, no one in pain, they worked,to th...3 Recommendations5 Comments

Its hard to believe! It's been a whole year. Yesterday would have been the marker of that day. I wore my "relay for life" tshirt all day, marking "victory" for myself.
True, two months and 1 week ago from today marked the day that I discovered the lump a year ago.... but the biopsy marked when others truly started to stand up and take notice of something going on w/ me....
