This is super late, my apologies, but life has been hectic. I am 3.5 weeks out of having the stem cell infusions at the IMAC center in St. Louis. I have still not seen any progress in my skin. It’s discouraging, but that’s how it goes. Perhaps that means I could have an internal issue… Continue reading Week 3 (Stem Cells)
It has been 2 weeks now since my stem cell infusion into my hip and arm. My hip is still sadly sore. I haven’t been able to rest it a lot in the sense of not moving around a lot since I do teach dance at school, but I have been mindful of not doing… Continue reading Week 2 Update (Stem cells)

At 44 months T.S.W. and succumbing to the plague that… Continue reading The Threadless Labyrinth
I’ve had cabin fever for months now. Every so often, I get to venture out, but for the most part, I was secluded in my home working on the documentary (I’ll make an update video soon). I was looking forward to getting back into my old job of subbing — not because it’s my passion,… Continue reading Use Warm Water
