Today’s Victory: 03/22/2012
11 month ago
Today’s Victory is brought to you by amazing wife, Lizze. I meant to do this yesterday but for whatever reason it didn’t happen.
I want to share how proud of her I am and what better way to do that than with Today’s Victory.
As you all know, Lizze has been struggling with health issues for many years, including Fibromyalgia, which is a chronic pain disorder. She is in constant pain, all More >

I’m not sure how many of you follow my wife’s blog. If you don’t, well, you really should. Her blog can be found at DailyMommySurvival.
Lizze does a lot of writing about her experience with Fibromyalgia. Aside from being totally proud of everything she does, her blog is important because there are many special needs parents suffering from similar pain disorders.

Physical Therapy

Lizze has physical therapy this morning. She had a really rough day yesterday so I hope she does ok with this today.
The physical therapy is for her migraines I believe. It’s kind of a last ditch effort to help prevent them. I could be totally wrong on this one though.
Everything kinda blends together after awhile. Maybe it’s for the fibromyalgia?
Either way, I think it’s a great way to More >
Prayers and good thoughts are needed

Please say a prayer for Lizze. She went into the emergency room a little bit ago. Her migraine is so bad that she has become unsteady on her feet and sick every time she eats. It’s also been 3 days since she has been able to sleep.
I had to sorta strong arm her in order to get her to go. She is very reluctant to go to the hospital because of the approach many doctors take to patients More >
They come in three’s

We all know the old saying, “they come in three’s”. Well, we were hit, smack dab in the face with that today. Typically, this saying refers to death but thankfully, that doesn’t apply in this case. What I’m talking about is more along the lines of just bad things happening. For whatever reason, my family seems to be just like a magnet for bad things. We have, over the years, adopted the notion More >

Lizze is waiting to be seen by the doctor. We have to overcome the stigma of chronic pain and medicaid. There are judgements and assumptions made about people with chronic pain like Fibromyalgia and people on assistance. It’s wrong but it happens. I worked in the emergancy medical field a very long time and I saw it happen quite often. Not everyone is abusing the system not everyone is a drug More >
Autism, Fibromyalgia and IMPOSSIBLE decisions..
21 year ago
`~Special needs parenting of children with Autism is a very challenging task. However, when one parent has major health issues those challenges exponentially increase. Sometimes these situations require choices to be made that are far from easy~
I’ve been pretty overwhelmed all week. Well, let’s be honest, I’m overwhelmed pretty much ALL the time. Parenting 3 boys with Autism will have that More >
Facing new challenges ahead
11 year ago
Yesterday Lizze received her cane. It’s difficult for Lizze to be physically reduced to needing assistance to walk. I won’t speak for her as she will be sharing her own feeling soon enough. For me though, it’s heartbreaking to watch her struggle with so much pain.
I will be taking Lizze to the Cleveland Clinic to a rheumatologist for a second opinion. Not really a second opinion more like a More >
Feeling the pressure….
21 year ago
As we get closer to to next Wednesday I am starting to feel the pressure building up. This is not going to be easy to get through. I’m worried about a number for things. I’m worried about the procedure itself and everything going well. I’m worried about the recovery period and risk of blood clotts. I’m worried about the impact this will have on her fibromyalgia. I’m worried about how I’m going to More >
