  • southern song in the air

    Wednesday, February 18, 2009

    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...

  • The appointment at the University Hospital

    Thursday, October 2, 2008 | A Positive story

    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...

  • A bit about negativity.

    Tuesday, May 20, 2008

    I wanted to write a quick note on negativity today, while I am at work and highly bored.  It's more of a response to yesterday than anything else, a chance to help others to understand me, and a chance to clear myself from feeling anything else that could throw myself into more of a flare than I'm already experiencing.  Yesterday, I wrote a great deal in my journal.  It may...

  • Its been a year since my biopsy! WOW!

    Saturday, August 8, 2009 | A Positive story

    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....
    I...

  • The day started hard but I survived

    Saturday, August 2, 2008 | A Positive story

    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 ...

  • Changing focus!

    Saturday, June 21, 2008

    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...
