Ha! You know I couldn’t stay away that long. Fortunately, my testing this morning was minimal.
I will say this though, seeing the right doctor at the right hospital makes all the difference. I’m not sure I’ll ever waste my time again on private practice doctors where I live again. Any more, I’m headed [...]
See you on the flip side

I am seeing a new specialist tomorrow morning with regard to my ongoing health issues. Since the end of April, I have lost 20 lbs. due to excruciating abdominal pain any time I eat. While it’s nice to finally lose weight, I’d rather not lose it via the starvation method.
Having no idea of [...]

The Barack Obama presidential campaign introduced a new site last week, FightTheSmears.com, that it hopes will debunk persistent myths about the senator: that he’s a Muslim, that he won’t say the Pledge of Allegiance, etc. As we have argued before, restating the myths often reinforces them, no matter how persuasively they’ve been refuted.
Rather than restate [...]

More Internet Musings
Posted by: 1wmcaw on: June 18, 2008
I’ve recently discovered that people take the Internet way more seriously than they should.
I used to be involved in an Internet community if you will allow the phrase, that I found when I had been newly diagnosed with PCOS. I was looking for information about the condition, as well as for support in my efforts [...]
My baby isn’t a baby anymore!

Well, o.k., she’ll always be my baby But on Sunday, June 15th my beautiful, precious daughter turned 1 year old.
I just can’t believe her first year has come on and gone. It’s just flashed by me in a world of sleep deprivation, breastfeeding, giggles, wiggles, tears, sighs, baths, smiles, snuggles, and more than [...]

I’ve been mulling this over for a while. Many people make friends via message boards or blogs and often wonder when they stop being “Internet” friends and and just become “friends.” I’m a part of a wonderful community on the Internet.

Embodiment of Anxiety
Posted by: 1wmcaw on: June 6, 2008
After we get back from our one and only family vacation of the summer (which should be interesting, considering I’m still often too sick to leave the house!) I finally have an appointment with the brainiacs in my area to figure out what on Earth is wrong with me.
Why, after almost 3 years since having [...]
