Currently on tenterhooks to see how much damage I’ve just done to my right shoulder this time. Had to catch my five year old as he fell head over tail down the stairs. As I stood there holding him up, upside down, with his head about 6 inches from a tiled floor I thought ‘Thank [...]

as i sit down having put away 3 loads of laundry, before putting in the overnight one, before the youngest boy wakes us up sometime between 0450 and 0525 and the older one acts out any more school settling-in wobbles and i get up to spend another day on the hamster wheel with added trepidation [...]

I had an MRI for my TMJ on Friday afternoon. It was at 1650, with unit closing at 1800. Which will be relevant to this post. I’d had a head one done years ago as a ‘normal’ subject in a research study on thought process in schizophrenia (insert obvious joke here), and it was water [...]

One of the (few) lucky things about getting RA is that I had a good stock of emotional intelligence to try to handle it. It is still really tough to come to terms with, even at this relatively early stage of this progressive and chronic situation. However, I know that happy-ish people like myself return [...]

Been titillating myself with thoughts of actually working on a big post about the weather but got sidetracked with another’s blog instead. Not vanity as in titivating ourselves, but in enjoying how we feel about ourselves. Remind me never to post about this subject again, as this lady says it all and it really is [...]

I’ve had a lot of bad grief since diagnosis. I’m working on identifying it all now and shouldering it into good grief. When I think about people and things I’ve lost in the past, I just long to find similar acceptance of this loss and the pleasure in the good things. I was a psychiatric [...]
