Hello Stephanie and other readers,

It has been forever since I wrote/blogged. Still trying to get back to normal. A few setbacks to note, I am loosing my hair, I see a specialist called a endocrinologist in March but I am afraid all my hair will be gone by then. I also have a Vitamin D deficiency as well as a Cortisol deficiency my PCP says may be causing the hair loss. I am also scheduled to see a rheumatologist since my hands and joints are constantly hurting me and I am sick of the pain killers that just make me itch! I have a feeling lots of tests are on the way.

I started back to work last week, just a few hours to get back into the swing of things. I really like the people I work with so it was nice to see them again. It will also be nice to have a few extra dollars. I still receive at least 20 letters a week from various health care providers wanting payment, I feel like such a bum not being able to pay it back yet, I hoping for more financial aid from IHC and maybe something from the state but I'm not getting my hopes up. Donations

I'm excited for the weekend hopefully lots of fun and sleep will be had. Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I am including a picture of a painting Bryon gave me for Christmas, it is so beautiful. It is called Bowl of Oranges. Which by the way is our song by Bright Eyes...check it out.

  1. Hi!

    I found your website through CJane and wanted to send you my best wishes. I am the mother of a little brain tumor survivor- diagnosed at age 3, now age 11 (7 years off treatment). It is a difficult and scary road, but you can beat this. Best of luck to you and I'll keep you in my prayers. :-)
