I am new to Daily Strength. I have a spinal fusion, stenosis, foot drop, scoliosis, and arthritis. Today has been okay for me. I have rested alot, which seems to help!

Wow, it's been awhile since a journal entry! And still not alot to journal. We're still dealing with the issues with the parents. My Mom is still in a 'skilled care facility' (quote, unquote), which...

Hi to everyone! Thought I'd try for a quick update while I have a few minutes. First of all, I've tried to get into DS several times, and can't access anything. Hope that gets resolved soon, and hope...

If you're an animal lover, this is a story for you! The neighborhood that I live in is full of pet lovers, and almost everyone has pets. Plus, most of the neighbors know everyone's pets by name. It's...

Murphy's Law has been alive and well for me! It's been a most interesting few weeks around here. It started with the computer. The modem decided to quit working. A week or so later, the new modem...

Today was 'visit the doc' day. I've been having problems with pain levels increasing, and I was due for a routine visit anyway, so, off to the doc I went. The biggest problem with pain that seems to...

So, time for another journal update....Thanksgiving 2008 was a good one, I am glad to say! Everything went well, and was, for the most part, a quiet, enjoyable event. My mom (she has Parkinson's...

Wow, the out-of-town relatives are still trickling in! This past weekend, my aunt and uncle were in town for a few days. The aunt is my mother's sister, and they haven't seen one another since last...

So, it's update time again...Had company from out of town this weekend. My cousin came and brought his new puppy. He and his girlfriend are a bit over the top with the poor puppy. The little fella...

Finally....have something to write about again. Went to a picnic Saturday, and saw some friends that I haven't seen in a long, long time! Of course, it wore me out, but it was worth every bit of it....

I can remember exactly where I was 7 years ago today. It is the anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy that ended the lives of many, and changed the lives of the people of the USA. Prayers for all of those...

I am so glad to say that it's raining here! After several weeks of little to no rain, Hurricane Fay has finally reached this area with some badly needed rain! We're expecting some storms and a...

Wow, didn't realize it had been so long since I wrote in my journal!  So, to bring it up to date...the biggest 'happening' around here is that Obama is going to make an appearance in this area, and...

This is National Friendship Week! Since DS is a great place to make friends from everywhere, thought I would share that with everyone, and say to you all......Thank you for being my friend!
