- I posted here yesterday to prepare for a GI doc appointment Friday to find where my internal bleeding is coming from. But I had to cancel it today because that will have to wait. I'll take the iron pills for the anemia a while longer...
- 1. I don't recommend it for those of us who have PTSD, it's good for those who don't.2. Sadly, it's obscure. It's showing on TV in Israel.It's the TV series Prisoners of War, which is the basis of the TV series on Showtimes in the USA, Homeland.I...
- Thanks for the support with the MRI I had last Wednesday. Now it's time for another doctor's appointment this coming Friday. It's with a GI doc I've never met. It's part of trying to find where my internal bleeding is coming from that's made me...
- By the way, in the spirit of Leo's group hug, just wanted to add something. Sometimes I get invited to speak about PTSD and recovery at churches. Today was one of those days. Afterwards 12 church people went out to lunch to chat more. We were...

- I had a tough day. I went to my kidney doc and found out I have more than the kidney infection. Internal bleeding from a cyst on a kidney that's made me iron deficient and blah blah. I have an MRI next week and an oscopy soon after. This Sunday...
- I gave blood & urine for tests yesterday and got a couple of urgent phone calls from my doctor today. I've been anemic and I've had a kidney infection for some months, he said. (I've had chronic kidney disease for 3 yrs).He was surprised I didn't...
- I'm not a big news hound or big sports hound, but in the routine of my day for the last couple of days this video of domestic violence in an Atlantic City casino has caught my eye.I don't mention it to editorialize; there seem to be plenty of people...
- I had my first death and dying class with the nursing students I teach at the community college today. I'm going into my 4th year teaching the subject now, so I'm pretty comfortable with the topic and can usually deliver it with a smile and good...
- Religion is a private topic for us all, but it's not just off topic for my PTSD because church is the arena of a lot of the abuse that gave it to me.I managed to have faith in spite of it and even became an ordained minister who worked for years as...
- Back in the US of A. Got in last night. The trip to Uruguay took 24 hours door to door. The trip back yesterday took 21 hours. The plane stopped in 2 other capitals on the way here. As we left my hometown of Montevideo where I got PTSD and fled...
