Thanks to all who prayed for my friend.  She's been diagnosed with a much better diagnoses than the one I was thinking.  

Deleting bad post.  Just down in the dumps. 

Got up this morning to exercise.  Everything going well, then I got lightheaded and could barely make it up the stairs.  I have one of those alert systems attached to the ground-floor landing of my...

Thing about being in nursing school is that you don't have to finish for people to think you're the resident expert.  Funny thing is I've always enjoyed reading medical literature.  I didn't finish...

This is my first Thanksgiving without my step-daughter and her family.  She moved to another state, it's drivable, but not an easy one.  So, this year she spent with her in-laws.  It's strange not...

Ate a pie yesterday.  A whole pie.  It's incredibly hard to deal with someone with mental issues.  And by myself.

Ok.  I'm at the point where I gain all the weight back.  I recognize the signs--getting cold, hate to go to the gym.  I keep saying I'm going to my basement to work out, but by evening it's...

I met a woman today.  She was quiet, withdrawn, and here I was trying to sell her something.  We talked for a while about the product I was trying to sell her.   She seemed interested, but...

My eye doctor who hasn't seen me in a year said it looks like I've lost about 20 pounds.  Today I went to try on some pants and discover that I fit into a size 12.  I know that I can't fit into...

I can't get my dad to accept he's mentally ill.  Yesterday, he told me to go out and buy a bullet proof jacket for him.  He's convinced that someone has put a hit on him.  He's 84, lives in a safe...

Felt sorry for myself--missing my husband.  Today I actually told someone I wished I never met him.  My life was so much better when I didn't know happiness.  To have it taken away after having a...

Yesterday, I ran up a flight of stairs.  I never did that even in my youth.  Go! Zumba.  My legs are getting super strong, something I didn't think was possible.  I'm feeling younger than I did...

When I was a young girl my mother told me that you reap what you sow.  She used to talk about how bad people will spend the end of their lives suffering.  She pointed out examples she saw in...

I visited the doctor today and got weighed.  The nurse said I'm down 10 pounds.  I was so excited.  I knew I'd lost weight but I'm making a point of not weighing myself so I didn't know if it was...
