I went to the hospital yesterday for an ultrasound of my kidneys. I guess it went ok in the sense they did the ultrasound but I am now left with more questions and more fear than I had prior to going in for it. I have bladder cancer. My urologist sent me in for a …

Round Two
The one thing I can say is it has been one hell of a year. From almost dying twice, to having my lower left leg amputated, then suffering a fall which delayed getting a prosthetic leg and having cataracts I thought for sure this year could not possibly get any worse. I was wrong! Let …

So Disappointing
Today was the day I was suppose to pick up my new leg. The day I would win my independance from my wheel chair and walker. The day I could finally be able to come and go from my super handicap unfriendly condo building without needing help from anyone. The day I thought I would …

So I went to my doctor yesterday to see how the healing of my wound was progressing. It was 98% great news and 2% news I didn’t want to hear. First, the nurse was amazed. They always measure the width, length and depth of the wound. She kept remeasuring and going back and forth to …

Patience Is A Virtue I Struggle With
