The reality of PTSD and its effects on our military is ever more present in our everyday lives. My husband even changed after coming home from deployment. He won’t admit to it at all. After being screwed out of his career, trying to find a job, keep insurance for our family and keep our…

It showed just how many people even those in the medical field were not aware of it and how much we didn’t know. As I watched it I say so many similarities in Dustin Hoffman’s character, who had autism. Even though it is now…
Yesterday the anesthesia nurse for my upcoming surgery called for the pre-surgery instructions. Nothing out of the ordinary until she started telling me what medications I needed to stop and ones I could continue taking. My diabetes medication is normally not taken the morning of the surgery. Pretty normal. But she also said not to take it the day before as well. Now this was new to me. My diabetes is controlled so it shouldn’t…

I want to get up on a whim and just ride to the water or somewhere other than behind these walls…. Maintaining a healthy routine can be an essential aspect of daily living if you’re on the autistic spectrum. It can lead to stability and make life more bearable, but also…

No matter laws or religion when the day comes that we have to answer to our actions no one else will be held accountable. We have to believe in something and know that what we were taught is…
Being my next surgery is May 31st I just need a little break. Now Saoirse needs to try and rest the “good” back leg since that leg takes the brunt of her weight in the back. Now we have been questioning whether we should have went ahead and had that bad leg amputated in the beginning. Is she going to be one of those dogs you see running over people’s feet with their wheelchair? They…

So my day started like this… 6:30am ☀️ “The Rooster Crows” The White Pit Bull Bowie, who also seems to think he’s a rooster and starts howling when the sun comes up… From 6:30 til 7ish Bowie is walking around aimlessly. 7ish “The Coercion” Bowie is coerced…
I started my Friday like any other day. I looked for something to watch, or play in the background as I did my work on my computer. I listen and watch the tv but never really get into what is playing because I am working and my main focus in on my computer. I found something to watch, it was called “Evil Lives Here, Shadows of Death”. I found it on the Discovery channel/app. As…
