I Feel Fragile
In the fictionalized biography of Elizabeth Winthrope titled "The Winthrope Woman," Elizabeth is speaking with her sister, Martha. Her sister tells her that she (Martha) is "cobweb that tears at a touch." I feel that way sometimes. It feels like I break so easily. I cried earlier today because of an upcoming move. I'm in … Continue reading I Feel Fragile

My wheelchair with the seat cushion my husband bought for it is comfortable. Very. We've been at Busch Gardens since they opened this morning.

Honestly the constant bending makes me sore. I want a longer duster that I can stay up right with when I … Continue reading Trying to Get on My Feet
Dr Appointments, Diet, Mania
I went to the GI doctor today. He thinks, based on imaging that was done on me when I was in the hospital, that there might be something wrong with my liver. I have to get an MRI soon. Hopefully it's nothing. I also have other problems they found, but I likely won't have surgery … Continue reading Dr Appointments, Diet, Mania
