Five very lucky people that death couldn't take away.
1. People who have survived seven train derailments and plane crashes Frankie Selleck, the Croatian music teacher, is a combination of bad luck and bad luck. He has been derailed by a train, crashed by a plane, and crashed into three burning cars and two buses. But in the end he managed to survive. What's more, after the seven accidents, Frankie began to get lucky. He bought his first lottery ticket and immediately won a million dollars. But he decided to give the money to his family and friends. Because for him, his health and his wife are all that makes him happy. But, I have to say, this is his seventh wife.

I May Have a High Pain Threshold
When the surgeon says that your appendix is dead, but your body says: “meh”, it is time to consider whether there is something up with your pain threshold.

Dementia
Dementia creeps in silently in a deadly fashion. It removes inhibitions while at the same time seems to enhance core beliefs of the sufferers’ inner self. I think these moments are revealed in brief periods of lucidity.

Living with Fibromyalgia Part 01
You know, I really wish that back in 2015 the chaotic move from a single story apartment to one only 1/2 a mile away JUST to change my address so my Rapist of a grandfather couldnt find me, wasn’t the catalyst that sent my chronic pain condition into a spiral down.

The Opioid Crisis Is Punishing Those with Real and Serious Conditions
She’s experienced this since her high school days in the 1980’s. And even then she started seeing a chiropractor on a frequent basis. This proved for quite some time to be an effective way of helping her with most of the pain she experiences. But as she got older, pain management became an even trickier task. Now, as her pain has gotten significantly worse and most other forms of relief have shown to be useless, medication has become a necessary factor in her life. However, due to the recent opioid crisis, obtaining the medication found proven to keep her living a productive and normal life has taken jumping through hoops and a lot of judgement from doctors and society altogether to receive. It’s imperative that we take the necessary steps to keep the number of opioid addictions and opioid related deaths down. But I’ve attended enough doctors appointments and emergency room visits by my mothers side to know that treating people with chronic pain like drug addicts is neglectful.

VoiceForVoiceless
ALZ caregiving is not about the caregiver. Inside of each patient with cognitive brain disorder is a beautiful individual with a good heart wondering what’s going on in their heads. My husband was diagnosed in 2009 with Alzheimer’s Disease. I’ve been his 24/7 voice and caregiver since that date. From the onset of my husband’s ALZ attack, I had to learn by trial and error. It soon became very clear, in our situation, that this was our journey. I had to figure out so much about something I knew so little about. However, I knew without a doubt that I needed to learn, “How do I become what he needs when his reality is not real and is not mine.

Being Mad at Earthquakes
Being mad at my chronic illness is like being mad at an earthquake. I can totally be mad at an earthquake. They are very dangerous at times, making buildings fall and destroying lives (and, sometimes, causing other natural disasters, like dominoes), annoying others, making me shaky and fall everywhere (I live on a fault line, it happens a lot). But being angry at that earthquake does not change the fact that it is happening. It is outside of my control, I can't stop it. So, being angry at it, while ok, does nothing to change it, because I just can't.
