I’ve talked about this before, but everyone needs some purpose in life, something that gets them motivated to do good in the word. Quite obviously my purpose has been bringing light to muscular diseases. It’s a crime that we have no treatments, no cures, and we haven’t made much progress in decades. There are children […]
Yesterday, Harry and I had our weekly visit with our amazing chiropractor, Dr. Tyler Richards. We always have the nicest conversations, and I always feel physically and mentally better when I leave. I would highly recommend him, especially for pediatric patients. He’s got a great bedside manner. We talked about a lot of things that […]
So we’re a couple of days in to hubby’s recovery, and so far so good. He’s having a hard time slowing down and accepting help, but realizes how important it is. Thankfully my parents live close and are basically saving us. Thank goodness for grandparents! Harry sure is enjoying the extra visitors! As you know, […]
Picture this: a group of nursing students have met at a diner, quietly trying to study about poop and vomit and all those delicious topics. I’ve met up with some of my friends from school who I feel like I never see, and half the time we’re studying, half the time being ridiculous and catching […]

I got past 10 miles!! Wahoo!!!! Let me just say that December and January were basically a wash for me. Between the holidays and awful weather, I barely got outside to run. Weather that I cannot run in is single digits or ice, and we had a lot of that. At the end of January […]
Are you singing Proud Mary yet? Yes? Good. Sometimes life smacks you in a way that makes you take a huge step back and say Whoa. Little trickles of things can suddenly start an avalanche so quickly. When I first started my journey in muscle disease (because let’s face it, Harry has his journey but I […]
Well, I certainly didn’t conquer it, but I did successfully use it to work out. I’ve run on treadmills before but at around 30 minutes or so I can’t go on, no matter how slow I’ve been going. My friends who do 8, 10, or more miles on the treadmill make me want to bow […]
It’s no secret: I love to eat. I love food. I think about food all the time. I don’t want to diet, ever. I have barely any desire to eat crap, but I want to eat non stop and it’s usually carbs. Two semesters ago I tried to diet and my brain stopped working completely. […]
