| Language: | English |
| Topics: | Chronic Pain, Health Care, Nursing |
| Description: | This blog revolves around my life in Chronic Pain, and how I cope with this entity daily. I am a Nurse (sadly newly retired due to my Chronic Pain), and give Health Care information, along with answering questions from fellow Pain sufferers. My spine is full of severe Thoracic pathologies with the lumbar spine affected also. I've had 3 failed spinal surgeries. Severe Spinal Stenosis and uncountable Osteophytes that are growing into my Spinal Cord are the main causes of my daily pain. There are many links to other sites that would help anyone with a Chronic Pain issue or know someone experiencing pain daily. **Stop by and read a bit, my HS friends can catch up on what has been happening; as I've met so many of them here!!** |

Blog Action Day 2009--Buy more to consume less!!
On this Blog Action Day 2009, with the subject being 'Climate Change', I am going to say something that sounds completely paradoxical, yet makes sense!When we purchase anything from the market for instance, to lessen our carbon footprint, reduce the amount of packaging used and actually pay less for the total amount of the item; is better for our wallets and more important, the issue of Climate Change; or Global Warming, try to buy in bulk. Less overall packaging is used when bulk items are packaged. Think of that box of 6 granola bars. It takes six plastic wrappers, and a large amount of cardboard just to hold those six little bars; with way too much room to spare

It's Invisible Illness Awareness Week 2009 !!
Sure seems like I was just writing about Invisible Illness Awareness Week a few months ago, not one YEAR ago!!Along with the importance of this week, this week and the past few weeks/months have found me facing a new set of challenges in the world of having a Chronic Illness/Chronic Pain. I have learned that Chronic Pain can still react to any new situation, and that I still am learning how to deal with it all. This week is important in getting out the word that many of the people that we all see, wherever it may be, whatever they may be doing, are suffering right before our eyes and we do not know it. Those that seem to be ok, but inside them is a plethor
