    • About Me

      Became a below the knee amputee in April of 2007. Adapting to a wheelchair, and looking forward to mastering my prosthetic. I refuse to let this bump in the road slow me down too much. I see other people who have to dealwith much worse every day. It is their courage which humbles me. I am not a Christian, and while I respect everyone's right to their own faith, I would rather not be preached at, or sent religious materials. I have had serious issues with doctrines of organized religion. I made my mind up about what I did and did not believe when I was 12 years old. It is only when I stray from that that my life falls apart.

         To all of you who are believers, who have families to celebrate with, enjoy.  I am so tired of the commercialization, the frenzied shopping, and the phoniness of it all.  Barring flood, fire, or medical emergency, I am not leaving the house until the 26th, at the earliest.

    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      I am a survivor of a long life of abuse, from physical battering by my father, while he molested my cute little blonde sister. (as a fat, dark haired child, I was too ugly to molest. How's that for a put down?) I now live with a partner who uses mental cruelty to keep me in line,and my health is in danger from it.

      Treatments

      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      have been published a a poet, and for a few minutes, found a place where I felt acceped and cared for. For a while, had asense of self worth.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      I started writing poetry at the age of 12. Wriin is the only thng that lets me express my deepest feelings, since I always seem to en up with people who won't hear me.
      Music Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      works well for short term relief. When the exact moods don't really show themselves, the unconscious song choices can often offer clues to what is going on.
    • Close Amputees

      I recently lost my lower left leg to infection, caused by diabetes, and being forced by circumstances to live in a house (not mine) filled with dogs, and their resulting feces. Despite being near death at the time I entered the hospital, I have made a remarkable recovery, and am determined to make the best of this situation, reminding myself that it could have been much worse.

    • Open Health Care Reform

      I have been "blessed" to see how just how ineffective our healthcare system really is.
