It's amazing how quickly life shifts. You think you know your place in this world, and the direction in which you are going. Then, often suddenly and unexpectedly, a letter, phone call, e-mail, or some form of communique shatters the floor beneath your feet. You're left standing and asking yourself "Why?", or in my case … Continue reading It’s Amazing

DEA Banning All Sales Of Kratom

http://mtpr.org/post/pain-helped-him-pull-trigger#stream/0 This just plain upsets me. Denouncing someone's pain is a personal trigger for me. Leaving pain patients in a lurch without a referral to a new physician is heinous to me. Until you've walked 100 miles in a pain patient's shoes, do NOT judge their need for medication. I can't tell you how hard … Continue reading Pain Helped Him Pull The Trigger

I would apologize for not writing anything of substance over the past few weeks, but I'm not sorry for sparing all of you. I've had little I've wanted to talk about, not just where writing is concerned, but in my daily life as well. When that occurs, I find it is best to retreat inside … Continue reading Devoid Of Emotion And All That Jazz
