I was sent this box a few weeks ago and let me tell you, I am so glad I got it (so is my husband lol). I haven’t been able to take a shower but I needed to clean up somehow and standing up trying to wash myself up right now…

Millions of Americans are living with alzheimer’s, and that number is expected to keep rising. But researchers right here in the east are working to change that and what they’re doing at the Wooten Lab at ECU could lead to a cure. At 93 there’s no doubt Doris Gardner has lived a full life. Pictures from…
Originally posted 2014-05-05 14:03:04. OK, this post will be relevant to some…others not so much. My husband was in the Marine Corps, loved his job, but he wasn’t born a stick figure. There are some people who just are “built” bigger than others. He did his job and did it well. He just needed more exercise than some. So when your so-called “leaders” are more inclined to not PT (exercise) then it hurts others. He didn’t…

This is my 25th (or 26th I lost count) surgery and I am more nervous about this one than any of them.

Then 2 phones ringing. Then… the roofers ring the door. Then the pharmacy delivers medicine. Shall I go on with my day? Oh wait it’s not over yet it’s only 4:30pm.

Originally posted 2014-05-01 16:47:33. Have you ever wondered why you go through certain things in your life? Why you may suffer from events, diseases, or whatever you have gone through? Yeah, me too. As I have reached my fourth decade of life I look back and take accountability of the things that have gotten me here. I look at the things both of my children have had to go through being biracial, to the illnesses,…

If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.● If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.● If I get dementia, and I am…
