Testing 1, 2, 3
Howdy!I'm starting to feel like I'm in an episode of House, M.D. where the team of doctors come up with several diagnoses and then finally come up with the right one just in time to keep their patient from croaking. This week I've been pushed on, poked, prodded, stuck, electroded, ultrasounded,...

The Good, The Bad and The Fugly

Beautiful
Little Guy has been taking some self-empowerment and self-advocacy courses this semester down at the Independent Living Center. He hasn't talked much about it, except that he enjoys taking the shuttle down into the city and packing his own lunch. Yesterday afternoon, before Hubby got home, he...

Curious and Curiouser
Thanks everybody for all your kind wishes! Hubby came home today safe and sound, and I'm on the mend. I had a recurrence of my old lower back/right hip/down my right leg sciatic issue but with a new development. My knee got some kind of inflammation and swelled up about 3 times its normal size,...
