It looks like it could tumble off the cliff if just a little pressure were applied. But despite your great effort, it won’t budge. The weight and inertia of the boulder prevent it from moving. And just as with the boulder, inertia prevents us and our loved ones from changing a behavior that’s been…
Originally posted 2018-08-29 14:18:59. I have been in a slump since my momma passed away. I know I still have alot to be thankful for but I feel like I have lost my will to carry on. Now don’t mistake that for me being suicidal, because I am not. I just don’t have the same – umph – per say to live like I did before. Does that makes sense? I quit… just literally abandoned…
These past few weeks have been crazy. Since getting out of the hospital I have been on a scheduled medication every four hours. I have been waiting for an appointment the see the surgeon (again). Not only the neurosurgeon but the surgeon that will be doing the ankle replacement. That appointment had to get postponed since the other issue showed up recently. I imagine that I will end up having to have another spinal fusion…

I know I will miss this one day when he’s gone but I feel like I can’t do what I need to do for me in order to “protect him” Today in 2018 my mother lost her fight. She when down quick but not without fight. Things lay on my mind…

Once I find out what it is and if he needs to remove anything, fix anything, etc…then my daughter will be there. My husband will be a phone call away. We can’t afford for him to take a day of work off. Our health insurance is through his employer and is based off…

They had their veterinarian appointment yesterday and got their shots, rabies, etc. Bowie (aka heavy chevy ) still has some growing to do 😳 it’s crazy that he is 10 pounds lighter than Chewy it’s hard to believe. Bowie has a skin infection on top of allergies…

We took the opportunity to literally do nothing. But that also means since nothing was done yesterday it has to be done today. Bad thing is this pale skin Irish girl will have to do some serious covering up when I go outside…
Originally posted 2014-06-03 13:47:39. Finally! I have someone going to bat for me. Thank Goodness because this is getting so frustrating. Plus when you get bills for $1900.00 for a hospital visit that resulted in nothing for you it gets even more frustrating. One of them has already gone into collections but what do you do? They call me and say they need a certain amount for it to be a payment arrangement but I…
A few days ago I had what I thought was just a follow-up appointment to discuss how a new medication was working for my bladder issues. After being called back they put me in a room to have a transvaginal ultrasound done. I didn’t recall needing to have this done but I wasn’t necessarily opposed to it because of my history of ovarian cysts. So… got the ultrasound done and then put in another room…
