Here I go with another song reference in my post title. But yes that’s right. I’m back. Back again. Back to work. Remote for now but so glad to be able to work again. As I began working I realized how much I missed the job. I missed getting to share the stories of our…

Two Miles
I walked two miles this morning, 2.25 miles to be exact. It’s the first time I’ve walked two miles or more since I had my brain surgery. I’ve been gradually increasing my walks and able to do more and longer walks. But today I did a loop I used to walk, back before the tumor…
I’m Not a Barbie Girl in a Barbie World
I’m not a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. To be honest I was never that into Barbie growing up. I loved Jem who I thought was way cooler than Barbie. I did like Barbie and the Rockers. (Apparently I was into musical dolls as a girl as I thought they were pretty ass in…

We all know Sister Sledge’s catchy “We Are Family” played at weddings and other gatherings and it seemed to fit what I wanted to write about today. I also wanted to write about something fun and positive and non-medical. I’ve also…
Freedom
As we prepare for the holiday that celebrates freedom, I realized the mental struggle I still have with the freedom or lack of freedom I have since my brain surgery. It’s all about perspective and I need to focus on the positive but it’s hard at times to not get caught up in the negatives….
