in memory of my dear mom Nov 22, 2012 "fly away"

after enough suffering on this earth, it was time for God to take her away ...age 64, we will miss you .
She has 10 grandchildren, and was so glad that in the last of her life she got to see some of them that she had not known for 15 years.  God indeed has our lives planned to that last minute...

In memory of Grant Arterburn , a loss, a friend...

Cancer has yet taken another life today of a younger person, friend we knew.  This younger family has 4 children under 13.  Unexpected as he had started chemo not long ago, was diagnosed in October of this year, had to get foot amputated few weeks ago, and I had just spoke to his wife 10 days ago saying he was in good spirits, just sick from the chemo.
  How indeed fragile life is and never known how long our time is here in earth, just a whisper .
 In prayers to be wrapped around this grieving family, his widow, 3 boys and 1 girl, plus the other relatives around them.
 In pain no more and he will be missed by many.

A poem... Lupus, autoimmune disease , and just well..feeling crappy!

Its not my imagination by Liz R


My right eye’s always twitching.

My legs are filled with lead.

I am forever dropping things.

And they say it’s in my head.

I have six pairs of glasses

With no two quite the same.

And I wear each one on different days

‘Cuz my eyes keep playing games.

I have this buzzing feeling

Deep inside my head.

And a jolt of electricity

Just made my feet fly off the bed.

Sometimes my throat won’t swallow.

Sometimes I pee my pants.

When I ask the docs, “Is this MS?”

They just say “There’s a chance.”

When my tongue went into spasm

It did a u-turn in my throat

And blocked my life’s-breath airway.

The doc said, “Make a note.”

My legs went numb and swollen

And doctors shook their head.

But they won’t put a label on it

Until I’m good and dead.k

The vertigo is dreadful,

The burning skin’s a pain.

The doctor give me lots of pills

And says, “Come back again!”

It isn’t diabetes

Or syphilis, or a tumor.

But they won’t tell me what it is

And I’m almost out of humor.

One neuro just shook his head

And said, “See Dr. House.”

Another actually said, “Get laid.”

A third, “Redecorate your house.”

I am not a hypochondriac.

This whimsical thing is real

So please just give me a definite name

For the crappy way I feel!

Liz R.
