  • Visiting my naturopath

    I saw my naturopath, Dr. Darin Ingels, on Saturday. He was astonished to see me walk in without a cane or limp. He was equally astonished that I drove myself there without my mother, who had accompanied me to every… Continue reading

  • Three Days

    It think I’ve had a migraine for the past three days. That’s why I haven’t been blogging. My headache was triggered by the sunlight which I couldn’t avoid while driving to and from Connecticut to be with a friend and… Continue reading
