I’ve been trying to “keep a low profile” and eat properly after my “imaginary” weight loss surgery. I think it’s been going well. In the weeks since I received the devastating news that my surgery was no longer covered under my insurance plan, I have lost about 13 pounds. Not bad. I’m afraid May will [...]

Going Green on the Rez
Posted in Day to day, General, Lakota, Life on April 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The web group I belong to, Friends of Pine Ridge Reservation, has a new donation drive going in honor of “Earth Day.” I like it! I get to support two causes that I support anyway!
There is a group on the rez called Re-Member. It is a group of volunteers who do two things. They build [...]
Odd Sunday
Posted in Church, Day to day, General, Life, Spiritual on April 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It was Sunday yesterday. I’m sure of it. I’m sure because my husband told me it was, and he never misses on things like that. But I wasn’t so sure of that when the day started.
I got ready for church yesterday morning, as I do most Sundays, looking forward to being uplifted and feeling a [...]
Spring Cleaning and Repairs on the Rez – Can You Help?
Posted in General, Lakota, Life on April 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
There are so many important drives going on right now for our friends out on the Pine Ridge Reservation that I can’t decide where to spend my extra “stash” money that I set aside for these projects. If any of them strike you, you can go the the Friends of Pine Ridge Reservation link and [...]
New Fibromyalgia Commercial – Not Much Improvement
Posted in Day to day, Fibromyalgia, General, Life on April 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well, either the makers of Lyrica heard all from all of us who have fibromyalgia and hated the first commercial or they just decided it was time to go with a “Spring” theme to keep us all awake. Either way, I’m not much impressed with the new version.
Let me make a “disclaimer” before I continue. [...]
My Lakota “Godchild”
Posted in Day to day, Fibromyalgia, General, Lakota friends, Life on April 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I had sent a note to my Lakota friend the other day to tell her that we didn’t have the financial resources to help her get a computer. She wanted one because her daughters (all 3, including my “godchild”) had been “thrown out” of school for misconduct and she now had them signed up for [...]
My Daughter’s Dog Died
Posted in Day to day, Family, General, Life on April 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It had been a quiet day until an hour ago. My daughter called – she had to put her dog “to sleep.” She was driving home and in tears. All I wanted to do was hold her and rock her like I did when she was a little girl. But I couldn’t – she’s almost [...]
It’s Working!!!
Posted in Day to day, General, Health, Life, Weight loss on April 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My experiment in weight loss mind control is working so far! Since my insurance coverage changed between September and today, I’m no longer able to have the lap band surgery – unless I hit the lottery. So I decided to try to stick to the post-surgical eating plan anyway – basically “pretend” I had the [...]
Back from the Depths of Despair
Posted in Fibromyalgia, General, Life, Weight loss on April 10, 2008 | 1 Comment »
It’s true – I’m back. I had been missing for a while because I was wandering through the black hole of despair.
Last September, after checking with our health insurance to be sure that it would be covered and getting an affirmative response, I entered a program at the Univ of Mass Medical Center. The plan [...]
