I don’t watch television much anymore, though it’s always on in the background. I tend to watch the commercials now more than the shows, but now that Lifetime and Nick-@-Nite are showing re-runs of the shows I either grew up with or I liked from the past when I did watch television, I do find […]
As most of you know, I’m a writer. I’m working on a particular novel right now with two very strong male characters. When I write, I like to really get a feel for realism, and as such, I have used Ryan and Gregg quite a bit for helping me shape these two characters. There was […]
If you saw a little girl in the middle of the road and a car was racing toward her, sure to hit her, and she was oblivious to that fact, would you try to move her out of the way? If you saw a bunch of people trapped in a burning building, wouldn’t you try […]
Righteous indignation Selfishness and hesitation So unfair the things felt but unseen Capturing souls, betraying, deceiving Lies and accusations of the same Slandered and defamed a good woman’s name Holding her up to some moral code With rules only fools would know By the time she could respond All but the core of her was […]
Apparently, I try to extubate myself when I wake from surgery with a breathing tube still in. Why do I wake up with the breathing tube still? That’s a good question that I’d like to ask of the doctor who decided during my second surgery to leave the breathing tube in for 22 hours longer […]
A couple of years ago, I broke my ankle, shattered it, really, and ended up having to have surgery on my foot. It was dangerous because of my CTEPH lung condition. A lot of people with CTEPH have trouble coming off the ventilator after surgery and end up needing to be trached for life. It’s […]
I have multiple chronic illnesses, such as a lung condition called CTEPH (a type of pulmonary hypertension), psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondlitis, severe hashimotos hypothyroidism, and adrenal insufficiency. I’m on high dose steroids, which affects my blood sugar levels, so I’m temporarily diabetic on top of all of that. Oh, and I’ve had three strokes, and […]
My butt goes numb when I sit for too long, and my fingers and toes tingle and go numb from neuropathy, but I want to talk about a different kind of numb today. I’ve talked about it before when I talk about depression and feeling numb inside. That feeling where nothing is wrong but not […]
I was doing some reminiscing the day, thinking all the way back to high school. I think in life I’ve forgotten more than I remember, but there are certain things that really stick out. People, who I remember fondly for various reasons, are at the forefront of my thoughts. Not all of these people would […]
When my son was born, he was a bit premature, small in size, but healthy and strong. It wasn’t until he was about 7 months old, and had made no efforts to try to crawl, that we learned something was wrong with him. It wasn’t something very major, just one of those little idiosyncrasies that […]
