Chronically Ill Christian, Challenged to be Content
We made it to our new home, after three tough days of driving. We all rode inside the cab of the 26″ U Haul truck. Even our dog was there. It was so uncomfortable and my surgically repaired foot/ankle throbbed and swelled. But, thank God, we made it alive. There are piles of boxes in […]
We are enjoying our new home even though we are still surrounded by boxes. It’s still difficult to walk through each room. There has been so much work to do in order to get the home set up. Hubby and I are exhausted and fighting through pain and our adult son is doing a ton […]
Unpacking boxes is a painful process. My scoliosis and lordosis makes it almost impossible to bend over. Standing up is hard enough. I’ve been working as hard as I can, but there are still so many things that need put away. Organizing as I go is necessary, because of the small size of our new […]
I love it when things improve. The house, though still messy, is getting better everyday. There are only a few boxes in each room, and that makes us all so relaxed. Stress has been high with all the mess, but with every box emptied, I feel more at peace. My MCAS flare has stopped, for […]
After living here for a month, our new home is starting to come together. There are a few small boxes to organize and Amazon packages to return. The only room that is still a disaster is my husband’s office. The office will probably look the same for a few months, because Hubby is very distracted. […]
How can I afford to be chronically ill? I have no idea. Now that we’re in debt from my medical bills in 2025, I’m working on the best way to pay them off. Because of my surgery and care of my ankle (Talus bone) that has Avascular Necrosis, the bills piled up. I had appointments […]

In the last ten days I’ve been riding in the car for 1,300 miles. I took antibiotics to cure an UTI, which worked. It was also a mind-blowing time of fun with my grandkids. They were so sweet and really loved having us there. After arriving home last night, I was beat. We were greeted […]
I’ve put it out of my mind, but now I must face what’s coming. After moving here in June, bringing our youngest, I hoped the summer wouldn’t go by so quickly. He earned his PhD and is leaving soon to prepare for his first job. I’m so proud of him. He’ll be an Assistant Professor […]
I don’t know where to start….. so much has happened since last week. Sometimes you go for a checkup and are nonchalant about it. This was one of those times. I had a routine ophthalmologist appointment. I have to go every year to make sure that the Plaquinel I take for Sjogren’s doesn’t damage my […]
