Sunday ... the end of another month.

Glorious Sunday to Everyone!!!

Just an interesting post I found in my email this morning.

http://www.delmarvanow.com/article/20120930/NEWS01/309300017/Expand-use-adult-stem-cells

Not much happening with this girl today. I over-did the physical activity yesterday outside, with the help of my 4-year-old neighbor child .... I was completely exhausted!!!! He is cute, but they are non-stop and with my "attention" issues, he had me going in circles!!! Today, HT, Maggie, and I are just chillin' out, all having some allergy issues. Will go out and do a little later when it cools off ... or at least that is the plan. Trying to accumulate stuff for a yard sale next weekend.  An attempt to clear my chi, for all involved.

Enjoy your day, and/or evening and make it a good start to a new week.

Peace, Light, and Love

Day by Day

Hi Everyone!!

I really don't have a lot to report. I will try to give you an idea of what has been going on. STRESS ... LOL ... I have doing my very best to try and tend to the situations that have presented, many directly related to the aftermath of the motor vehicle accident in December.  What was told to be a "mild concussion" is now taking on the face of "most improvement happens in the 1st year" or "you may have to deal with the rewiring of that part of your brain." .... I try to focus ... but my attention span can be brief, leading to things getting overlooked, or worst, just lost, completely forgotten. EVERYTHING I do these days takes me so freakin' long that it can be very frustrating.

Other than that ... my blood sugars are a little wacky lately. I am having some tissue issues, in that, after 40 years you sort of run out of rotation spots. I have had to change my pump out a little more than normal due to the lack of delivery, which raises my blood sugars, which has lead to some skin irritations as I search my body for a small area that has not been saturated and scarred from repeated poking. Oh well ... maybe that cure is closer than I think .... I still wish, hope, and pray, especially in these past couple of months trying to relearn and tweek methods of how I do things ... like pulling weeds in the yard ... so many day-to-day tasks .... I have already done this chapter years ago, but this is a completely different type of fight for health and life.

Preparing to drive to Phoenix tomorrow. Will stay a night or two with friends ... I don't like the drive to the city anymore in large part due to the anxiety and panic of having to get there....once there, I don't want to have to rush back up the mountain, 2 hours each way. Again, there is way too much going on to type here, so ....

I hope all is well with everyone!! There has been a lot of progress and movement in the science and medicine of adult stem cells and their abilities!!! I have a 3rd treatment in my thoughts .... maybe sooner than later. I just feel that if I get a good portion of whats going on, out of the way and tended too, that I can make the ultimate most of the 3rd treatment, less stress, mastering the art of meditation and relaxation, etc


Wishing All a wonderful, relaxing weekend.
Peace and Light ... and don't forget the laughter!!!

News Makers

Good Morning, and happy Monday!!

Life is not all it is cracked up to be in my world these days.
I can honestly and happily report that the ONLY thing going in a positive upswing is my diabetes progress.  In all the happenings since my accident, an episode I don't think I would wish on my worst enemy, I continue to struggle with stamina, remembering, focus, learning new things ... I am reading better with my new lenses, but that is like a bad amusement park ride at times ... hahaha ... like walking!!! If my eyes hit the imaginary lines now placed, and the prisms, etc, I often fall off curbs that are not even there. Yep .... I take graceful to a whole new level .... hehehe ....

Anyway ... I am trying to cope with the loss of my health insurance, the loss of my job/career, our home being placed in foreclosure status, a low-ball offer on my injury from the other insurance company ... which just pisses me beyond anything I can put in print here .... hahaha ... not any of this funny, but ... we all know this is how I cope with distressing situations. I just can't believe every day some other totally beyond anything that should be right gestures of the world. 

What happened to face-to-face encounters??
Why must the entire world (or so it seems) be so cruel, so greedy, so out to make a buck off someone else's bad luck, misfortune, etc.
People with no real education calling the shots on someone who was intelligent, hard working, determined, .... ???

I am no angel ... however, I don't understand the motivation other than the almighty $!!
It all seems to me that money rules ... and as a result, not as much love, concern, empathy or cures to the problems or issues.

Ok ... well, let me get off the pity pot as I know all to well, that I am NOT the only person on the planet to be struggling. I have no plans, little options, and no guidance except .... "You really need to find a way to cut your medical expenses."
CAN YOU IMAGINE?!? this was the comment given to me by a credit counselor reviewing the mortgage. Next month I celebrate ... hahaha ... 40 years living wiht Type 1 diabetes .... and just when I thought I was in a place where I may be able to play a major role in such a big arena to bring stem cells to the people, I get my life taken away from me in a moment, with no notice, and no concept of what my future may hold, to be told I need to lower my medical expenses .... ok, lets start with the most expensive of my medications ... Insulin .... that costs me approximately $300/month ... without that, I am dead ..... yes, it is that simple ... and yet will be a painful death for anyone who would have to endure this outcome. I am currently on my last of the Cymbalta, in which withdrawal symptoms are literally taking its toll on my body, which in turn, strains my brain and adds undue stress, panic ..... anxiety .... I am trying to gain more info on meditation, calming myself ... Maggie actually does this really well with me. :D

Ok ... enough complaining on my part.  I have a couple of stressful encounters to tend to today ... but would like to share this mornings news on the stem cell front.

For the boys .... and I know that this issue of erectile dysfunction can affect many men who have type 1, nerve damage does some huge damage. Check out the latest application for adult stem cells ... and not male, but I can tell you that the results I have had in regard to feelings, i.e., neuropathy in my feet, the awakening of these feelings in which became so incredible clear within hours of my 1st treatment, I would love to have some feedback on men who may have had some improvement.

Check out the link below:

and the last one for today ... the Stem Cell Summit!!!!
Will be held in Palm Beach in December ..... this would be a dream come true for me to attend this gathering. I would do my best to see, hear, ask questions, reap the rewards of sharing information to both the doctors/professionals and patients alike. I don't, however, see that happening for me .... but check it all out!!!!!

And on that note ... I wish everyone a wonderful day, and, an awesome week!!!

Peace and Light ~ Be good to each other!!!

No words of wisdom .....


If nothing else .... I hope that those whose lives I have touched .... gives them this sort of Feel Good feeling ..... Unfortunately, currently, I seem to be running low on wisdom.  I am doing the very best with what I have to work with, and like so many in today's society, I am not the only person struggling .... we all struggle with some thing, at some time in our lives. I continue to pray for the safety and well-being of those who serve for my freedom to voice my opinions, and all those who have touched my life, past and present.

Peace and Light
