About Me

My photo
Michigan, United States
I'm a thirty-something SAHW of 14 years to a very loving, kind, intelligent, understanding & supportive husband, Thomas. We have a very sweet kitty named Shadow but we more often refer to her as schmoo or kitten. We also have a big ole sweetheart of a Golden-Doodle named Scout, who I call bubby. Both my husband and I were born & raised on the Great Plains of Kansas, having moved to SE Michigan in '99. Thomas is lucky that he works in a field that he loves; computers. He works for a large document storage company. I was an office worker/receptionist/billing clerk before becoming disabled due to a chronic back problem. I actually consider it a blessing to of had to leave this field of work as it was not fulfilling. I'm most definitely a Student of Life & I enjoy sharing some of the wisdom I've gained throughout my life, thus far. I love learning new things and meeting people of all nations, creeds and religions. I've come to believe that love is the meaning of life. Therefore, LOVE, is my religion.

BRRRRRRRRRR! Good evening all, it would seem by the feel of the breeze and the smell of wood smoke in the air, that Fall is definitely arrived. I'm watching It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown on ABC....I love Peanuts! This and The Wizard of Oz have always said to me that Fall is finally here!

This is the first day in several that I've been coherent enough to interact with others. I've been battling migraines since Sunday. My meds knocked me for a loop this time for some reason. All I've been doing is sleeping until the dog wakes me to let him out. 

I've had trouble with migraines since I was 25. After years of trial & error with meds; most of which didn't work, I've found Axert, craniosacral massage & medical marijuana, (MM is legal here in Michigan) to be the keys to relief for me.

I saw my pain specialist on Tue. to discuss a procedure to help alleviate some pain in my lower back related to my herniated discs. They call it Disc-FX and it is a minimally invasive procedure to repair or remove damaged discs. I've included a link to the info page for anyone who may find this procedure beneficial. 


Potential Benefits of the Disc-FX® Procedure:
  • Minimal Access Procedure
  • Out-Patient Procedure
  • Minor Skin Incision
  • Rapid Procedure
  • Multiple Treatment Options
  • Local Anesthetic
  • Target Access to Damaged (Diseased) Area
  • Treat Multiple Disc Levels
  • Early Anticipated Return to Normal Activities
Disc-FX® has been shown to:
  • Offer a safe and effective treatment option
  • Provide improvement in quality of life
  • Treat multiple disc levels with one surgical procedure
I'll keep you posted on the outcome.
