Joyce update
I hope you will all keep Joyce and her family in your hearts and prayers. Mel's funeral is tomorrow, and it sounds like quite the send off. Mel was an administrative disability judge so it will be well attended, ( lots of .....shudder....politians and lawyers!) and she's even got a marioche ...

+UPDATE I need some idog healing vibes.
I hate to ask for myself, but I just found out some disturbing test results, and I could really use some of the good juju this place generates. I had an abdominal CT done last week to rule out kidney stones, and they discovered an incidental finding of a 1.5 to 2.3 cm cyst on my right kidney. Now normally...

Cerebral artery surgery - request for a friend
A friend I went to high school with had a stroke a few years ago (she is only 30 now) because an artery to her brain is more narrow than it should be. Every year, she must go back for an MRI to make sure it's ok, and this year the MRI revealed the artery in question has disappeared. She is scheduled...

Harry's in the hospital

Prayers for my dad, please?
My dad is getting divorced from my stepmom. That in itself isn't a huge deal, they've only been married a few years, but he's diabetic, in kidney failure, and has chronic lymphocytic leukemia and this divorce means he loses his health insurance. He's self-employed and completely uninsurable...

prayers for shelter workers
Our shelter in Clarke Co. VA has had to put several animals down lately, and has had several newborn animals die, including a little of 12 puppies from an emergency c-section. Our shelter rarely puts down animals and this has been hard on the AC. If you could send some healing wishes to her, and really...

Oh, boy, here we are again. Willow had a UTI a few weeks ago. She's prone to them, has had testing for crystals in her urine before, ultrasound and x-rays in the past.

His unit is returning with everyone they left with except for the guy who fell out of a truck and shattered his ankle two weeks after they got to Iraq. This is...
