However unlike the sloth my diet over the weekend did not consist of mostly of buds, tender shoots and the occasional insect or small reptile. Indeed today I’m concerned that should I eat a piece of fruit my body will think its a virus and attack it. It is easy for people who have never had concerns over whether they will get into their jeans this week to asssume that being overweight is something that just sort of ‘snacks’ up on you, but it can be more complex that that for some. I don’t usually live on snacks, or processed food and am ...

Dawn Brancheau, the SeaWorld performer who died last February, had not crossed my mind in months. But last night I came across some year-end stories on 2010 newsmakers and what they were doing with their 16th minute of fame. One was Isaiah Mustafa, who found fame and fortune on a Super Bowl commercial for Old Spice. Another was Antoine Dodson, who scared away a would-be rapist from his sister’s bedroom and whose comments to a news crew led to the “Bed Intruder Song.” Tilikum, the killer whale, became a household name on Feb. 24, after he turned on his trainer Dawn Brancheau. When I first saw her picture, I realized that years ago I’d seen Brancheau pe...

Years ago I saw her perform with the killer whales she loved. On Wednesday one of them, a large male named Tilikum, killed her. A seven-minute tourist video shows Brancheau interacting with the whale up until just seconds before the attack. An autopsy revealed Brancheau died from multiple traumatic injuries and drowning. When I heard the trainer had wanted to work with Shamu since her first trip to Sea World at the age of 9, I realized I’d heard that story before. Brancheau was the woman I’d made my way downstage to see after the show. ost of all, I remembered Brancheau because I’d never in my life seen someone so happy in her work. I must have been worried about the whales, because Bra...

The dawn phenomenon is typically described as the body releasing a handful of hormones overnight that cause some insulin resistance.  You see this as higher blood sugars in the morning, even though you went to bed with a great blood sugar.  I do experience the dawn phenomenon, and have been able to adjust my pump to deliver a bit more basal, or background, insulin during the early morning hours. But I've also got something else going on.  When I get up for the day, no matter what time it is, my blood sugar goes up.  If I wake up at 4:00 AM, it goes up.  If I wake up at noon, it goes up.  If I wake up anywhere in-between there, it goes up.  I've come to think that my body just hates waking up and squirts out so...

Her work, “Notes From A Minor Key” has been the subject of our monthly review for the past couple of months. Dawn has much to write to us, so I’ll end my comments here. We thank Ms. Bailiff for her time in sharing a few thoughts with us and for telling her story, which is in parts, the story of many of us. Ladies and Gentlemen, Dawn Bailiff: I would like to thank those of you in the HealthTalk MS community who have taken the time to read, discuss, contemplate and even criticize my book. You are a group with a “good energy” who collectively refuses to be defeated or defined by the MonSter. I send special gratitude to Trevis for providing such a wonderful MS reso...

Today, we discuss the final section of her book; a section she calls “The Soul.” Ms Bailiff has not shied away from telling her readers about her other health issues in the course of her story. To tell of the unthinkable losses she faced in these last chapters is almost too much to read, let alone live. Not to belittle the other issues she lived with and through, reading the penultimate heartbreak of losing a young son can only be th...

It should be noted that summer only officially arrives in Trevis Gleason-world when it is hot enough for me to have an iced coffee and gin and tonic in the same day. It was due to a bit of summer frolic that my Friday posting didn’t make it to the office on time. As summer begins, June ends. This being the last post of June, we’re on to our book club blog. We’re discussing chapters 17-21 of Dawn Baliff’s book, “Notes from a Minor Key” this month. This section of the text begins with the culmination of many young women’s dreams: marriage to the man she loves, a wonderful (fully paid) honeymoon to a quaint village in the warmth of Spain and lying with her husband for the first time. At the very time when Dawn wants to...

We are currently discussing “Notes from a Minor Key” by Dawn Bailiff, a former child piano prodigy and woman living with some serious health issues. When we last left Dawn, she was on the road to a tenuous relationship with a man significantly her senior who was already in a romantic relationship. She was struggling with her musical place in the world and with an unknown health issue. We now find out, 8 months into the future, that her pain was caused by endometriosis. I must admit that I’ve been told by more than a few women that they’ve had bouts with this disease. Maybe it’s a guy thing, but I had NO IDEA that it could be this bad! As the author makes her way through the unbelievable complexities of...

Typically, I like to end the month with our book club blog discussion. So without further ado, let’s get this Cinco de Mayo party…er, blog started. Our new book is Dawn Baliff’s “Notes from a Minor Key.” If you recall, we already decided how we would divide this book up for easy digestion and discussion. Therefore, today we’ll discuss chapters 1-5. The first thing that strikes me about the book is Dawn’s style and tone. This is not a tiptoe around subjects with a withering flower kind of book. This is an east coast born and bred woman telling it how it was and is, and pondering how it will be. I’ve winced, I’ve blushed and I’ve squirmed while reading these pages, and I don’t think she ...

In that time, we focused on Allison Shadday’s text, “MS And Your Feelings”. Last month, we finished that thread with a posting by the author herself; what an honor! Today, we move to our new book, “Notes from a Minor Key: A Memoir of Music, Love, and Healing,” written by Dawn Bailiff. This book is a memoir of a talented and driven woman: a musician, a wife, a mother, a person living with multiple sclerosis, but, first, foremost and throughout the book, a woman! This book will be a little more difficult to divide into readable/discussable chunks than our last. I propose that we take it as such: For discussion in April, chapters 1-5, for May, chapters 6-16, June, 17-21, July we’ll finish the book ...
