Don’t you hate it when you get your average medical history form and you’re instructed to list your surgeries and hospitalizations and you don’t have enough room to list the things up until your 20’s…mind you you are currently 44 years old. My husband just says to write small, lol. I’ve had around 22 (wait 23) surgeries at this point so listing them is one thing. Trying to remember them all…

But at the time we didn’t realize all the different behaviors we saw were driven by his anxiety. And the more…

My brother wasn’t actively using heroin as far as we know. I do know he was using the prescription medication, methadone. I wish things would have been different but I guess the good thing is something is being done to help, or at the very least trying to…

They thought he had come down with something and they were trying to investigate just what it could be. Alan’s character kept sneezing and itching.

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.

The first was November 1994, 34 degrees and it was raining. The day and time are not as vivid in my mind anymore. This was the one was while I was still with the biological father and his family. The power had been out for several weeks at that point and…

Let me tell ya, that hurt! He used numbing medication but it still hurt. I cried all the way home. He had to put it near one of the screws and tendons. The arthritis has gotten really thick in there so…
