A Relationship Gone Bad
I never used to mind climbing stairs. I would skip elevators and walk up and down stairs so I could pretend I was getting extra exercise. It was no big deal. At all.After my body decided to go to hell in a hand basket, I would sit in the living room and think about something I want from upstairs..... But delay so I could combine trips to reduce the number of times I needed to climb them.We moved so I could live mostly on one floor. I have enjoyed that. I really have. I could avoid the stairs for days at a time if needed. If I want to go out I can walk down the front steps - all five of them. Its very relaxing. I don ' t ha...

Why I ’m Trying to Find Spouses for My Sons
These past two months have been a whirlwind of wonderful celebrations. In June, we celebrated my eldest son’s graduation from college, and I held a surprise birthday party for my husband. This month, we’ve been involved in a wedding and preparing for another wedding in August. Last week’s wedding was for a dear young man whom I consider a son, Adam, who married Maja. He and his twin brother, Chris, lost their mother to cancer when they were 10 years old. I had the privilege of knowing her and taking those boys under my wing during that time. My youngest son was the best man, and the wedding couldn’t ha...

Foracare TN ' G Voice Meter: Great Option for PWD ' s With Visual Impairments (others, too!)
I pretty much limit my diabetes blogging these days, except when I think there ' s something REALLY important or unique to share, although much of what I began with now has several nonprofits and organizations to advance the issues. Most of my diabetes-related stuff these days can be found on my Twitter feed, which is updated pretty much daily. Still, when I need more space to share information, this blog is still where I turn.As I last blogged a few weeks ago (seehttp://goo.gl/mi5nEm for my post), I was very sorry when my good friend Kitty Castellini passed away, not from diabetes or diabetes-related issues, but...

Heeding Advice and Enjoying Life
With any ailment, you get advice. Some of it is nice, sane, logical, and seems plausible - like rest, hydrate, elevate, ice it, if pain starts - stop what I am doing, etc. This is possible. You can do it. And some of it, not so much - keep elevated for at least 30 minutes out of each hour or at least 5 portions of fruits or vegetables with every meal. Really? I can try for that. And finally, some of it is just plain impossible - lose 30 pounds or non-weight bearing at all times for six weeks or anything that is just too restrictive to handle. My point is I get a lot of advice from my doctors, and a lot of other people. I ...

The Best Laid Plans
The best laid plans sometimes never take place. I have had a plan to take the best care of me as possible. This includes regular trips to the beach because that is the best place for any kind of healing. I mean the sun, the sea, the waves, (the hot life guards), and fresh air. What else does one need? I mean besides being able to go to the beach with out the preceding bathing suit shopping? (Bathing suit shopping is the only bad thing about going to the beach.Back to my plan, I was going to go to the beach today. I even tried to talk a friend into going with me. I have a doctor appointment at 8:15 AM (What was I thinking w...

Oh, Those Evil Law Suits!
By JIM PURCELL My wife of 47 years likes to tell of her travails after having married me.  She claims she had no inkling that I would specialize in despised career choices.  Right after we were married, I served as an infantry airborne officer in Viet Nam, a then despised profession.  Then I became a trial lawyer.  A very despised profession.  And then in 2004, I became the CEO of a health insurer,  the pinnacle of my career in despised professions.  At one point she stopped reading the Providence Journal and listening to local talk radio.  When asked if she were my wife, she’d often reply, “Why do you want to ...

What the Patient ' s Think
I always applaud research that consider the patient ' s side of a cancer diagnosis. Honestly how many more research studies do we need on mice that look for new cool drugs (but finding a cancer cure would be a nice thing)? I mean all that research is nice, but I think all us patients would appreciate a bit more information on the impact of cancer diagnosis and treatment. Face it, when we are diagnosed with cancer, we wonder are we normal in our reactions, treatment plans, dealing with doctors and more. Its normal to wonder " am I the only one freaking out at my doctor? " or " why am I running to the library and surfing th...

I took a little holiday
Its a holiday and I took a little holiday. We went up to a friend's cabin in the mountains where there is no wifi, no cell phone service. We were off line. Okay, we had a satellite dish for TV but I was happy to relax and read a book (you know those things with paper pages and cardboard covers?)Anyway, I didn't blog. I didn't read my email, look at Facebook or anything. It was very nice. I also pretended I was a healthy person and helped my friends paint the trim on their house. Back to reality tomorrow, after about 10 hours of sleep.

Emotional Distress: It ’s Inevitable When You Have Metastatic Breast Cancer
This has been a tough couple of months. I’m finding it a challenge to figure out how to have purpose and direction while living with an incurable disease. In fact, the biggest problem has been how to plan for the rest of my life when there might not be a “rest of my life.” For the most part, the cancer is under control. I have been fortunate to be asymptomatic, with only a few bouts of intolerable pain to deal with. The source of that pain was recently discovered on a CT scan, when the report showed that a fractured rib was healing. Until the doctor read that to me, I had no idea that I had fractured a rib. So be...

How to Stop Making Problems – Start Making Not-Problems
Archbob / Pixabay I don’t know about you, but I have a little tendency (or maybe a big tendency) to take a situation and then start making problems. For example, let’s say I have a friend comes with the problem and asks for my help. I give them my advice, but I make it into a problem for me. How? I become tied to their outcome. I start worrying about whether they will take my advice are not. Will they go off the deep end? Will their problems get worse? Will they continue to have this problem? And so on. The answer is maybe yes and maybe no. The way to make it a Not-Problem is to realize it doesn’t matter. Each perso...
