“Dying’s easy for men like you and me; it’s living that’s hard”
This has been a rough few days. Between constant headaches and shaking I have spent the majority of my days horizontal. I was to pick up a new prescription and a refill on Tuesday, but I was shaking so bad … Continue reading

Back in August, 2010 I started to have an irregular heart beat. It would beat for a few, then skip, beat, beat, beat, skip, beat beat, skip. You get the point. It got so bad that one night I nearly … Continue reading
