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)
It has been officially one week since my stem cell infusions. I had one into my hip, and one into my arm. My hip is still a bit sore. I wasn’t anticipating this, but I am a dance teacher and do have to move around a lot. I am trying my best to not jump… Continue reading Week 1 Update (Stem Cells)

At 44 months T.S.W. and succumbing to the plague that… Continue reading The Threadless Labyrinth

I was looking forward to getting back into my old job of subbing — not because it’s my passion,… Continue reading Use Warm Water
I am a little late, but for good reason. I have been working very hard on the documentary and have found little time for other things. I did however get to take one full day off this Sunday (after working 1.5 weeks STRAIGHT, no weekend for me) and I went to Disney World!! It was… Continue reading Month 41 TSW
