I was sound asleep until about 4 am when CSP woke me up in a panic! He had just woken up and realized that he had packed his Key To The World card away in his suitcase. The suitcase that he’d put in the hallway last night for porters to take to the terminal. That…

…they pull me back in. To the hospital that is. CSP & I were just talking about that I had finally gone a full year without being in the hospital when Thursday night happened. I was really uncomfortable at dinner. Then as we were trying to go to sleep the uncomfortableness turned into flat out…

For the last 3 weeks I’ve been getting Orthovisc injections in my knees. I have no cartilage in my knees and the Orthovisc helps replace that lost cartilage with a mix of cartilage and amino acids. Let me tell you, it hurts. HURTS. The word acid is key. It burns like a motha. So 3…

I may be the only person in the Carolinas who’s not looking forward to Summer. I sometimes wish we lived in Canada or Alaska so it would stay cool all year. Mainly because I don’t like wearing shorter sleeves. Not because of the sleeves themselves, but the people. Recently I was out and about and…

Yesterday Sara had her spleen removed to fix her sickness she’s been dealing with for the last 5 years. She came through the surgery like a champ! She was in pain and had some vomiting but was able to come home from the hospital this afternoon. When we were at the hospital visiting…

FINALLY! Sara has a diagnosis! If you haven’t heard, my sister Sara has been dealing with some medical issues for 5 years now, ever since she gave birth to Joey. She’s been exhausted, swollen, jaundiced, in pain, the works. She’s had a million tests and procedures, been to see a million doctors and specialists. Last…
