Where I Am

Today, I want to share something with you that has been my obsession lately. A question of my past, my present and my future. It's taken up a bit of my time usually spent commenting on your blogs. Without further ado, I was invited by Mish to guest post on her blog Eating Journey. I love Mish.

She writes fantastic things. So, I spent this entire month working on the post that will be up a bit later today. Go take a look. If it's not up yet, you can get the cliff notes in my fb photos.

And, please remember to vote for Rett Syndrome at the top of my blog and to share it with your friends. We're moving up the ranks!

    Listen ma'am...I feel like I haven't been up to date with all that going on in your life. It's my guess that it's because I haven't been reading or commenting on blogs. UGH...the business of life. Anyways...you should know that I think about you often!! Take care mama!

    You will accomplish your goals now that you are aware and living in the moment.
    Here I am this old and I only learned what the freshman 25 and the sophmore spread was about a month ago. Maybe because I was thin then and so I was never told about that possibility. My sisters all laughed at me when I asked what they ment when talking about it one day.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

We Did It!

We raised $5597 at FirstGiving.com We raised $25 on Facebook with Paypal Ryan and Deb raised $1000 for a new website . And? That puts us over the top! Even when we factor in any fees that Paypal, Firstgiving, or Ryan incur due to credit card use fees, we are over. So. What does that mean? We are on our way! At Midwest Assistance Dogs, they are excited about training a dog for Chickadee. It's a unique situation that has never been done before, so I appreciate all of you being supportive and open minded about it. We are still discovering the ways that Chickadee can be benefited by her Service Dog. So, I'm working with the director. He is reviewing our life, and bouncing ideas off me as to what will work. What does that mean? I don't have a specific doggie, or date yet. It depends on what is realistic for the dog to learn, and for Chickadee/I to be able to help it execute. Basically it's gonna take time, research and experimentation. Usually? i...

Don't Make Me Say It

Okay. Deep breath. Again. Okay. So . . . I hate to alarm you, but I have a rather prolonged problem over here.  At least two years in the making I would say.  I've seen two doctors, and used four or five over the counter remedies.  Sounds like  a problem, right? But, it goes back even farther than that.  At the ripe age of fifteen years old, I had a septic hip , which is basically a staph infection that invades a joint.  In other words, it declares nuclear warfare and plays for keeps.  If they hadn't operated immediately I would have lost my hip joint within a couple of days. As you can imagine they blasted me with the full arsenal of antibiotics. They left the incision open for 4 days in order to be able to administer antibiotics directly to the joint.  I know, I know.  GROSS.  Sorry, I just find myself repeating the gory details like a labor and delivery story.  Or a combat tale. Anyway, I found myself after this wi...
