Needling

I tried some dry needling today. We don’t know how much and what exactly it will help, but it’s worth a try. He put needles in my leg and in the bottom of my foot. The one that went in my foot was definitely felt lol. The others weren’t really bothersome at all. I keep having issues with the front of my ankle. I have quite a bit of scar tissue in there, so I’m…

Today in pictures

I still don’t think he understands the concept but we have transitioned to the part where Christmas is more for children than adults. Well at least the Santa part. Since momma passed I just can’t bring myself to do Christmas this year. Hope you all have a good one! 😉

Rollercoaster Ride

Originally posted 2022-12-31 12:57:18. This past week and some change has been a wild one. Started on the night of the 22nd and as of right now still lingering. I woke up to my husband throwing up and wailing in pain. It was odd because it was the same exact pain and complaints from the last time he ended up in the emergency room. The last ER visit didn’t result in a diagnosis, which worried…

The beginning of the toxic relationship

Originally posted 2014-03-18 20:58:28. It was 1992, I was working at Pizza Hut as a waitress and living with a couple who took me in.

I would try to escape and he would come find me. I tried to tell my boyfriend…

An invitation to our lives

Originally posted 2014-03-18 17:34:02.   So here it is. The start, the beginning. Although I am a bit unsure how to do this so bear with me. I have been told on several occasions that I ought to ”write a book” about our lives. I am not beyond sharing our story I just don’t want the ”wrong” attention. You have people who are always going to be the skeptic, the non-believer, the supporter, etc…well I…

Adrenaline dump

Yesterday was a roller coaster. The morning started like any other Fire Dept coffee, Peter Thomas Roth patches, shilajit honey sticks. My niece came over early since she was going with me and Dusty to my appointments. I made them cinnamon rolls for breakfast, then took a shower and got ready. We left to go to my physical therapy appointment. They sat in their employee break room at their table so they could watch a…

Without a cure

Originally posted 2017-04-25 23:43:23. As a diabetic you end up dealing with things that are embarrassing to even show family members.  I have debated talking about this because it truly is embarrassing. I have found that it isn’t just associated with diabetes. But I felt if I talked about it there may be something someone has found helpful or someone else may have found something I post helpful. So here goes. Boils, cysts, furuncles, acne….I…
