I saw my physical therapist today for an evaluation and treatment on the severe scoliosis. The first day of traction went nicely. My therapist gave me traction manually because she wanted to see how my body would react to it. Within less than an hour, my level of pain went from eight down to a two. She said that was what she wanted, and would continue tha...1 Recommendation8 Comments -
No, this isn’t about the last book of the bible – that would take WAY too much space in a journal!! Instead, it’s about some things that have been revealed to me in the past few days that I know if I address will be helpful in the long run.
I did a no-no a few nights ago. I broke my own cardinal rule and deleted a journal entry! It was a venting entry, which we ...1 Recommendation12 Comments -

A few months ago, I came up with the term “keep moving forward” in something I wrote. As the days and weeks wore on, I found myself saying this repeatedly. I now consider it a slogan because it describes the way I want my life to go, both in easy and hard times.

Somehow, I seem to have underestimated the value of my psychologist. When I went to see her yesterday, I had a list of three or more things that were bothering me. They were increasing my depression daily.
The answers she gave to my concerns were so simplistic that I did not see why I had not figured them out myself. I had been worried about my niece ...2 Recommendations7 Comments -
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...4 Recommendations23 Comments

For the first time in a long time, I have a wonderful update. The house we’ve been looking at and thought we lost to another buyer fell back into our laps this morning. As of 5:00 PM EST, it will be a done deal and I will have a place of my own. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry but I’m excited to see something good happen and my life beginning to turn aroun...2 Recommendations6 Comments

I didn’t expect to write another journal so soon, but something happened yesterday that was pretty incredible, so I wanted to share it with you.
Our neighbors, Matt & Barb, are the best neighbors anyone could have. We’ve become great friends and have vacationed with them on several occasions. Originally from Michigan, you’d think they were from the de...1 Recommendation8 Comments
