In 1970, the Beatles released a song called 'The Long And Winding Road.' The song started out as a simple ballad written by Paul McCartney in Scotland in 1968 at a time in which the cracks in The Beatles’ relationships were become ever deeper. 'The Long And Winding Road’ was released as a U.S. single on May … Continue reading The Long and Winding Road

It was one of those rare summer days. The sky was clear blue with a few clouds. There was low humidity, with a nice breeze. A perfect day to be outside! But I missed most of it. I didn't wake up till almost 2 p.m. due to a night of tossing and turning, then reading, … Continue reading Living an “Upside Down” Life
“You’re looking pretty good today. How do you feel?” The response I often want to give is, “I feel like crap, but thanks for asking.” However I’ve come to realize that isn’t helpful to me or the person asking. It just shuts down communication, and I feel worse. I should be grateful that someone asked … Continue reading My #InvisibleFight
Ecstatic! Amazed! Grateful! I feel all of these and more about my right hip replacement I had 3 months ago. I've been back to work full-time since early July, and am tolerating that very well. Each day I gain strength and flexibility in my hip and leg, and I marvel at the skill of the … Continue reading Gratefulness in the Midst of the Battle
So sorry it's been so long since I've posted in my blog, but the last few weeks have been very challenging physically. Although I continue to have "herxing" with my Lyme disease about every 3-4 weeks that last 2-3 days, I also had hip pain that increased to the point that I was walking with … Continue reading Lyme Takes Time
I promised you in my last post that I'd keep you updated on my second journey of battling Lyme disease. In my last post, I said I had debilitating fatigue, muscle aches/weakness, nausea, and some anxiety for about 3 days. Those symptoms are the Lyme disease reacting to the antibiotics, the disease fighting back against … Continue reading Herxing — Another Weird Part of Lyme
"Wow, that just doesn't make sense," I said to the ENT doctor. He explained how I had some structural problems in my nose that are probably the cause of some severe sinus pain I've been experiencing for the past 6 months. It didn't make sense because I've never had sinus problems in my life, and … Continue reading Lyme Disease…the Battle Begins Again

This is a devotion that was published at http://christiandevotions.us on November 12, 2012: "When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven…” Nehemiah 1:4 One by one they tumbled out. I wanted to weep. Anxiety, sleeplessness, exhaustion, financial worries, and … Continue reading Crumbling Walls
“They will come with weeping; they will pray as I bring them back. I will lead them beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble” (Jeremiah 31:9). The fatigue and squeezing feeling around my heart had now been there for two weeks. So the questions began. Should I call my … Continue reading The Confusion of Chronic Illness
