I have tried to leave Kansas 4 times. I came here against my will – crying the entire 23 hour drive from Atlanta some 17 odd years ago. I got as far as New York once for 9 months before returning once again. I call it the boomerang affect. At […]
Yearly Archives: 2013
When I had the incredible priviledge to live across the pond for a year in college, I fell completely in love with the class and charm my English brothers and sisters can communicate – even in distress. In particular, I adore the way they could condescend me, an unruly young […]
Cheers, Love
http://katiecouric.com/videos/chronic-lyme-disease-does-it-exist/ Dr. Halprin and Dr. Horowitz battled it out on Katie Couric on Wednesday…..I am in agreement with Dr. Horowitz, chronic lyme disease needs to be redefined. You don’t even want to know how I really feel about Dr. Halprin – well maybe I’ll go there for a minute. I […]
I Am Living Proof – Rebuttle for Katie Couric’s Lyme ...
About 4 years ago, my family was driving back from Arizona to Kansas – on leg 2 of the journey home, with kids 2 and 4 happily watching movies in the back, we found ourselves in a pickle. The weather just outside of Albequerque was rainy and we knew there […]
Driving in a White Out
It became a common occurence in our household for someone to ask me during the healing journey, “how are you doing?” or “how do you feel?”. I began to answer with percentages – 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% better. What I have realized lately, is that the numbers are skewed from […]
The New 100% – The Princess and the Pea
If you ever have watched this USA network show “Royal Pains” and have Lyme disease you have wished what I have. That you have a perfectly scripted Hollywood doctor that made housecalls and found your mystery Lyme disease within a 60 minute show and fixed you with one dose of […]
LYME is a “Royal Pain”
I couldn’t even make it up if I tried, but today at the Wichita Flight Festival, we saw it with our own eyes. A custom school bus with 42,000 horse power rocket engine on the back raced and beat an airplane (by a mile, I might add). I’ve lived in […]
Jet Powered School Bus
If you had asked me a few years ago about Plum Island, I would have thought it was the big square cart at the market holding allthe plums – or maybe a new club downtown for the kids to go dancing. Otherwise it was non-existent on my radar screen. I […]
Is Plum Island the New Green?
Last week in a torential Kansas rain storm, I realized I was red lining on the gas gauge. Unfortunate timing, but I was carting multiple children to after school activities and had to fill the tank. The closest station didn’t have the proper amount of “roof” coverage, not that in […]
Blinding Rain
It began 3 summers ago, an annoying uncomfortable feeling in my sternum. As it grew and became painful, I did the smart thing – I ignored it. Then I did the second smartest thing and started working around it. It vacilated between sharp hot coal poker pain and fat gorilla […]
