Acts of Kindness

** 2016 We still have interest in this blog, and have moved it to a new server.  The images are mostly there – but the quality is poor so we will be working on that.  Also  many of the links are expired or removed… we’ll keep working ! I entered my last post on 2/14/2011;…


Reflections on a theme

P: As we wind down, we wanted to put our thoughts down about whatever we are thinking on this side of things.  Now that I’m in my flow again, I’m asked quite frequently how this has changed me and us.  A said “It hasn’t really changed us.  We were really lucky to be a good family…


Was I in denial?

Since I have not gotten things together yet for my and our final entries, I still have some thoughts to share with you.  I was out for a really cold walk yesterday morning, even my eyebrows froze!  Walking always gets me thinking.  Some things happened this week, like the stars aligning or whatever.  First I…

We are happy.

We have good news and less to be concerned with, thanks for waiting and hanging in there with us! Stay tuned for a few special entries as we wind down.


Waaaaaaitingggggggggggg

I just received the appointment for my risk assessment follow up.  12/21/10.  It leads me to think that risk assessments are not of an urgent nature like CT scans and the like…it doesn’t FEEL urgent to me, but it DOES feel like information I’d like to have.  Making the decision about participating in a risk…


No news yet

Frustrating:  I received a denial from the insurance company for the several thousand dollar genetic test. Relieving: It was because of a coding error. Frustrating: I called the social worker and told her this and that I have not heard back about results, leaving a voice message. Relieving and Frustrating: She left me a message…
