I'm not sure who will all remember me, as it has been some time since my Sweetheart died in 2011. I am now over 3 years out into my new existence as a widow and mom to two beautiful little loves. I did hire a moving truck and 2 guys and moved us back into Jason and I's house. That was indeed...

I posted a few weeks ago. My dad has been in the ICU since 12/26. His perm-cath was infected and he had pneumonia. Sadly, they also found that he has a volvulus, which is a kink in his colon, often caused by constipation/immobility, so a secondary issue to his disease. The fix for the kink is...

I am a 54 year old and 40 year type1 diabetic (no complications) who started having walking balance type issues a few years back. My thyroid and other things were checked and all was OK. About 6 months later, I started getting extremely cold burning spots (softball size) in the same spot on my...
