I'm getting so tired of waking up to stomach pain.  It started May 1st.  I don't want to say anything because my DH will insist I call the doc.  Trying various remedies suggested by other...

This is my first cousin, Air Force Lt. Col. Harold Zook. He went missing in Vietnam in 1966. His remains were discovered and returned to his family in 1986. 20 years an MIA. I honor him this Memorial...

After 18 days of really bad stomach pain (from gastritis) I had some periods of relief yesterday and again today.  I'm not sure what is helping, but the day before yesterday I drank a bit of...

This is day 16 of unrelenting pain of a gastritis flare-up.  All the rest of my life problems have seemed to dissolve into the background.  Added generic Maalox yesterday and woke up at 2am with...

Well, I made it out of the bedroom without my cane this morning, so things are looking up.  DH is taking the wheelchair van to his VA appointment today, so I have the morning off.  I plan to clean...

General health update on my 79 yr old DH, as I am his caregiver.  His problems began before I knew him in 1979, when he was robbed and beaten, and left with a letter opener embedded in his neck....

My brain is pretty scrambled just now.  It's getting closer to another holiday, when family is supposed to show each other how much they care.  I always dread them.  I sent out some cards the...

Such a happy surprise last night - my sister phoned me!  I've been pretty much out of touch with my whole family for years now.  Because all of them who are on Facebook have been ignoring me, I...

Didn't know where I should start this journal.  Am trying to understand my situation and figure out what I can do to make it bet-ter.  I have looked back on my life - all the way to my teens, and...
