This morning I went to see the podiatrist. This is the same podiatrist where I had such a hard time a few years ago with the service dog issue. One of the receptionists had demanded to see an ID and spent 15 minutes harassing me about it. I ended up […]
Yesterday was quite the day! We started off by collecting Hestia’s pee and dropping it off at the vet’s office. It was part of her senior bloodwork panel but we couldn’t get pee out of her when we were there. Then we headed over to the DMV. We had to […]
For about the past 10 months, I’ve been having painful swollen feet and ankles. I thought it was due to my weight, so I lost 27 lbs. I still have painful swollen feet and ankles. So today, Felix and I went to the general practitioner to discuss. She said that […]
Tuesday was a very busy day for us! We had to go to Columbia to run an errand, have a doctor appointment, and while we were there, we wanted to use an old gift card to Red Lobster which isn’t close by us anymore. But first there was the matter […]

Aunt Nancy, who was like another mother to me, passed away on February 9th. On March 9th, Tamara had her surgery. On April 9th, we declared we were a family of three. So the 9th of the month has special significance to us as the passing of a beloved woman […]
Last week I went to Long Beach, California with Felix for the 2025 PSDP peer convention. This blog entry will be a summary of our adventures, and I’ll include a few pictures I and others took of me and Felix. More pictures that everyone submitted will be posted on the […]
Yesterday was the most wonderful day! Cousin Tamara got to go home! Finally all the red tape got sorted with insurance and home health. We couldn’t have done it without one very special case manager. I meant to get her name but I forgot. She was supposed to get off […]
