A little about me: until it bites on the you know what! While bemoaning that I could no longer work in my field of nursing (Psych)I was ignoring the fact that I can work in a different field of nursing right here,I can share what I have learned and research the medical sites many would shy away from,
and translate the medspeak into fibro speak. We do have out own language here dont we? I am grateful for MDJunction, more than words can say, Thank you Roy and Alon, you provide a service that is so valuable to so many, and new folks keep finding us every day.
My Awareness Ribbons
 
"because the fibro has changed my life along with arthritis, but I have learned you meet the nicest people with fibro"
 
"osteo is just as painful as my fibro so why not give it full billing?"
 
"I owe my life to my asthma, I became a nurse because of it, I was determined to know all about it so that I could stay out of the hospitals more and live my life more fully, I met my husband because of it, my life has been more wonderful because of something as weird as asthma."
 
"I became a psych nurse with the hope of understanding my very dysfunctional family and through the journey I learned much about my own dysfunction and how to help heal myself, I learned what kind of person I wanted to be when I grow up and I am working happily towards that goal. It is the journey that counts"
 
"osteo is my biggest buggaboo right now, and I struggle with getting my bones stronger, I dont want any more titanium rods holding my skeleton together"

Remember and I thinking about all of you and wishing you the best.


Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself

– George Bernard Shaw


I have found that if you love life, life will love you back

- Arthur Rubinstein

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive

– Howard Thurman.

Life isn’t a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, latte in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘Woohoo WHAT A RIDE’!

My Diary
if Life is a Journey
how I muddle through the muddied waters of fibro and the two lung surgeries and all the fun associated with that....sheesh

But it does give you a new perspective on life....having your rib cage lifted up as far as possible so that the docs can scrape your lungs...called decortication...having a couple of ribs removed, to give them room and then having to deal with the aftermath. I have learned a lot from this whole ordeal:

So Here's my prayer for our nation:

We need to stand in the sun every chance we get.

We need to develop thicker skin so that we aren't offended by every little thing.

We need to observe, really observe, the mirical of life, from buds on tress, to flowers to puppies and kittens to people.

To anyone who who believes all of this was happenstance, basically all of life is an accident, well only if it were an accident of 'Biblical' proportions.....life is a miracle. Plain and simple. A divine miracle

We need to dance. Dance, Sing, Play like no one is watching!!!

We need to remember that all life is a gift. And enjoy the gift for as long as it lasts.
