    The Opioid Crisis

    He Hon. I am sorry that it has been a long time since I have been around but my life has been so upside down. One of the things I now have and it is related to the Mast Cell Activation Disease I was diagnosed with about 2 months ago, is that wonderful Interstitial Cystitis you mention. I have...

    Scott and Dianne lost Cameron yesterday

    Hi Larra, Thank you my friend. We are absolutely crushed and just trying to figure out how to live life without him. Cameron was not only my son but he was a special friend. We talked or chatted almost everyday. I am happy that the last time we spoke I told him that I loved him. I feel...

    Vitamin A & D Injections

    BTW it jumps my D nicely when I get the injection. I just don't do it often enough. Dr k had recommended doing every month for 2-3 months until I caught up because with all my surgery my body used much more than under normal circumstances so I had to replace the deficit to get to even and then...

    The working from home is a mixed blessing because I miss the interaction of others at work plus there are more food options for me when I go to work (cafeteria and restaurants around when in my small town very limited choices with restaurants...fried, fried and fried). Also having to walk from...

    Thanks my friend. I really appreciate it. I am struggling with chronic back pain for which I've had numerous pain management injections that have done nothing for me, consequently; i am going through the process to trial and then get a pain pump implanted.

    Most definitely. We may be in the Orange/Anaheim area for one of our niece's wedding on December, 27 but obviously that is a long way from you but we still might head your way next year some time. We have a lot of traveling we need to do.

    Oh believe me I have thought about what beach city I want to move to, at least until the polar Ice cap melts and floods my city.....but realtor fees, closing costs and $10K minimum for movers will eat up a lot of our equity. That being said I think the Sacramento area is pretty affordable...

    Thanks Hil. Yeah I think it should be cool working with the VA. I am hoping I can in my own way help a group of people who deserve far better than what they have received. The number of suicides annually and the number of people on the street homeless who are vets is shameful. We throw these...

    LOL I would love to but I doubt I will have any access. They are HQ'd in DC and I think Tom Daschel and Bill Frist sit on the board. As far as Phoenix it is possible. I will be traveling to VA call/contact centers so I am sure there is a VA clinic and or call center in Pahonix. Let's hope...

    I just received and accepted an offer for a new job where the salary is a bit more than my last job and I will be working out of my home 100% of the time other than occasional travel. My health isn't perfect but I am much stronger than I was 16 months ago.
