A conversation with an animal is rarely like a conversation with a human, at least not for me. I know that many animal communicators, when relaying the exchange with the pet, make it sound like they are simply talking back and forth. This hasn’t been my experience, personally. For me, what comes through is like a jigsaw puzzle. Sometimes the pieces don’t even seem to go to the same puzzle. [Click title to read post ...]

The visit with Dr Resnick went well. He’s taking a conservative approach, and is starting me back on prednisone, at 30-mg/day to begin. He’ll be monitoring things carefully, and I’ll be in touch with my PCP tomorrow for things like monitoring blood glucose, etc.
It’s definitely the pyoderma gangrenosum again, so at least we [Click title to read post ...]
If you follow my Facebook or Twitter updates, you’re very likely already aware that my leg has “bloomed” badly again, and I’m therefore facing a health situation different from what I went through in 2008 only in that now we know what we’re dealing with.
