Happy new year! It is 2011, and the continuation of year 33 for me: It is time for me to become a better person and to get started on my mission. I have several goals for this year, all of them involve being faithful to God’s grace: To keep writing, prolifically; to work on my …
Category: Who am I?
Please pray for one of my nurses–it doesn’t look good.
As you, my readers, know, i require home-health nurses to assist me during the day and at night. Since i’ve been on a ventilator for 6 years now, many nurses have come and gone; over time, some become friends. I have learned some very sad news about one of my friends: the night shift nurse who …
New wheelchair soon…

What technical difficulties?
Last Wednesday i got a call from the Apple Store that my computer was ready to be picked up. A few minutes later i got another call: “Don’t panic… i just broke your lcd screen while cleaning it… we have to send it back to be fixed”. Unbelievable… Thankfully my cousin was there and she …
Technical difficulties
Apparently my computer has a hardware problem — it keeps freezing. The hardware test that came with my Mac detected something wrong with the video card… I can really use it until I get this checked out. So how am I writing this? My cousin is letting me use her computer that has Dragon’s speech …
I was at the hospital…
As I lay on the stretcher in the ambulance feeling high off of oxygen I was strangely at peace. As my mom and dad stood outside I smiled knowing that everything would be okay. All I heard my mom say was “wow.” I was so deprived of O2 that I was actually elated to be …
