Since I was in college, I’ve always wanted to get braces. When I smile, if you look at me at a certain angle, I look like I’m missing a tooth, and my upper front two teeth come out forward enough where I look like I have buck teeth. I’ve seen a few orthodontists, [...]
After Miles had passed away, the doctors had gone through the original paperwork Velkies had filled out when she started her treatment with UCSF. And there it was. One of the questions on the paperwork asked if Velkies had been exposed to DES. She had marked, “yes,” but they had overlooked it. I remember the [...]
So, we went to Costco yesterday. By the time we got out of the check out line, Bizzy had to go pee. I hate this part because now I have no one to watch my cart while I take her to the bathroom. And although Bizzy is a girl, I have to take her to [...]
Everything evens out in the end. My sister took Bizzy for the day and night last Friday. I was able to catch up on a lot of things like clean house, pay bills, go jogging, and get some rest. My brother came over and we played NHL 09 on the PS3. [...]

It was April of 2005. From visiting dialysis centers in the late 80’s and early 90’s to a kidney transplant in 1994, my mother had been battling type 2 diabetes for as long as I can remember. Through all the blood work, pin pricks, low glucose levels, prescription drugs, blindness, etc., diabetes was a [...]
Happy birthday Bizzy. You’re 3 years old now. At about 6 diaper changes a day for the last three years, I’ve changed approximately 6,570 diapers.
