On my last visit to Dr. M’s, we waited for him for an hour and a half. If I counted the number of hours Jon and I’ve spent waiting in doctors’ offices for the past five years…but that doesn’t seem like a meaningful activity for someone short on time. After about five min of staring…
I can’t really read this screen to type properly. I had to zoom in as far as possible and close one eye because my eyesight is horrible with both. Thus the need for my blog posts to be heavily edited by “Eli the Pirate” and all members of my family. So, what you are reading…
Last week I went to the doctors to get some conclusive news about my worsening symptoms. Unfortunately, I had to take new scans, an MRI with contrast and a PET scan, which means that I had to take off my wedding ring from my very steroid swollen fingers, for the 15th time. The results were…
I have some experience (9 years) teaching the belief systems of Hinduism, Buddhism, and samsara, the cycle of rebirth. Most Indians believe that all beings are born again as a new soul.

Recently it seems like every day is Groundhog’s Day, the comedy starring Bill Murray and that chick from the Hugh Grant movie about weddings and funerals. No matter what I do at night, the morning is always the same. When Jon’s alarm goes off, I wake up dizzy, but I need to pee, even though…
My wonderful husband is blogging again. He paints such a beautiful picture of me that is not true at all. What a gentleman! Read this one with a box of tissues…
Does your family have a fundamental difference when it comes to grocery shopping? Does the way that someone shops for food on a weekly/daily basis make you mad? In all the times that my parents have been down to Chile to take care of me, I think they have seen the inside of the Jumbo…
Last Monday, I voluntarily checked myself into the hospital to have a little surgery on my brain. The doctors, Jon, and my parents kept telling me it was a normal procedure and that many people have wires and small boxes in their head. When Dr. M arrived home from vacation, he did his due diligence,…
I’m coming out of retirement for this one. The end of the blog was coincidental, don’t worry. I had planned to end it, and it just seemed like the right time. But my radio silence was not helpful, so here comes the Luckiest Unlucky Girl!
For many years now I’ve wondered when my blog would end. Well, I’ve decided, today’s the day… The last few entries have been about my tough times, my misery, and my despair.
