This is a continuation of an ongoing knee issue. It started with Bee’s Knees and went on to Bee’s Knees Continued. I’m hoping to end my knee pain in the very near future. What’s happened since the “quick kneecap recap” below: September 12, 2018, I got my first cortisone shot (Kenalog 40 mg/mL suspension for injection). […]
This is a continuation of an ongoing knee issue. It started with Bee’s Knees and went on to Bee’s Knees Continued. I’m hoping to end my knee pain in the very near future. A quick kneecap recap: From https://maryomedical.com/2013/02/18/icy-days-and-mondays/ January 28, 2013: I checked the weather and found that school was starting late because of icy […]
My left knee is still bothering me, even after doing Physical Therapy since January. <sigh> It seems to get better, then something happens and it’s back to pain again. When we were on a trip to New York a month ago, we walked a lot and climbed so many stairs, I had to buy […]
No, I don’t think bees have knees but I do – and one of them was hurting a lot. Mine started, I think, the day after DH’s heart attack – January 28, 2013. Fast forward to January 2016. I fell in the bathroom in the middle of the night and hit my left knee on […]
From the Giving Thanks series at http://www.maryo.co/tag/giving-thanks/ Today I am hugely thankful that the last major issue we had here was in 2013 when Tom had his heart attack. That event caused me to start this new blog to post about our experiences. January 27, 2013 was our 40th anniversary. DH called me […]
Today is the 30th anniversary of my pituitary surgery at NIH. As one can imagine, it hasn’t been all happiness and light. Most of my journey has been documented here and on the message boards – and elsewhere around the web. My Cushing’s has been in remission for most of these 30 years. Due […]
I’ve been dealing with Cushing’s since 1983. The after effects of pituitary surgery since 1987, kidney cancer since 2006. It’s time I felt better, already! From 1999 to today, not-so-quick recap from my bio: 1999 ~ Many people are now finding that they need HgH after pituitary surgery, so an Insulin Tolerance Test was performed. My endocrinologist painted a very […]
Adapted from http://www.maryo.co/giving-thanks-day-3/ Today I am hugely thankful that the last major issue we had here was in 2013 when Tom had his heart attack. That event caused me to start a whole new blog to post about our experiences. Adapted from https://maryomedical.com/2013/02/08/the-beginning/ January 27, 2013 was our 40th anniversary.

I’ve veered off-topic yet again with a bit about sciatica. I’ve dealt with this for years and years and had a bunch of opinions from a lot of people on what to do, what to take. For me, nothing seems to help except waiting it out for about a week, then it settles down. […]
* With apologies to Karen Carpenter! I know I’m not supposed to “relive” events. I have done that too often with my Cushing’s and cancer adventures and I’m told that reliving causes nearly as much stress as the original event. So, I plan to write down my memories here and try to let them go… […]
