I have not written about gratitude for awhile and after chatting with my colleague this weekend i decided to write about the gratitude I have for Persinger. I did my undergraduate degree with him where he was my supervisor for my thesis, where I treated depression in rats. As an undergraduate I was a very…
I am not strong enough on my own. A lot of people have made comments about Melanie and my strength throughout this. What people may not really realize is that a lot of my strength is because of Mel. I am not sure she realizes the impact that she has on all of this. She…
It always amuses me how many people read my blog, Mel’s coworkers read it and see insights into her life through my eyes, or friends of her get to experience the daily nuances of our life. Last night I found out that Mel was the one that invited my parents to our house. They had…
This was the second day with Mel gone and today I pushed myself probably more than I have for the last couple of weeks. I ran to Tarini’s this morning quickly to buy some meat and then to the grocery store to buy buns for dinner tonight. This afternoon I had an appointment at the…

I had the bottle disconnected today and it feels so much better after it happens. Motion in the right arm is a bit limited as I can feel things a lot when I move around. Every one tells me that it is supposed to be so easy and painless but it is still a bit…
It is ridiculous how much snow we have received in the last 24 hours. I have never seen so many things within the city shut down before but considering the road conditions it was expected. I had planned to go in for blood work this afternoon but with all of the cancellations I think the…
