Hope for Alison: February 2015
http://www.hopeforalison.org/2015_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 22, 2015. I was actually thinking how much more simple it would be to find a home in Springfield. Then Chris received a note from his former boss. He actually wanted my husband to go back to work for him. When I flashed a smile at Chris, he looked puzzled. After I told him about my thought process, he understood. Sunday, February 1, 2015. Food, glorious food. Pureed spinach through the tube. My blender arrived during the past couple of weeks. Yippee! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Hope for Alison: November 2014
http://www.hopeforalison.org/2014_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 26, 2014. For the year or so after my stroke, I avoided cameras almost entirely. Almost. I couldn’t even put on my own makeup. I still can’t. But have you noticed my nearly yearlong absence from the Internet? It was not an accident. But it is not my job to look cute and adventuresome. It is, however, my job to get better. And the parents of my nephews know about the “you break it, you buy it” nose clause. Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Thanks for all of your continued support!

Hope for Alison: September 2014
http://www.hopeforalison.org/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2014. Kids keep collapsing, and it’s making me mad. Children are trusting us to make sure they are OK. We are the adults here. I’m not advocating for unnecessary testing like in. Article “The Cost Conundrum”. A good read whether you’re in healthcare or not. My maternal grandmother died of congestive heart failure in her 50s. My paternal grandfather died of a heart attack in his 50s. I never met either of them. Bottom line: Medicine failed me. It failed me and has failed others.

Hope for Alison: August 2014
http://www.hopeforalison.org/2014_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 25, 2014. ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. I was going to do it anyway. I was going to have Chris pour a bucket of ice-cold water onto my head. Then I was going to go to the ALS website and donate. But Chris had a better idea. He started trying to find someone to challenge me. Who would it be? I told my caregiver, who was kind enough to call her father. We’ve never actually met, but I owe him my gratitude(? In the end, Chris and I were both challenged by friend(? Saturday, August 9, 2014.

Hope for Alison: May 2015
http://www.hopeforalison.org/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 24, 2015. I am late. For NOPW. That is. It is never too late to talk about stroke in young people. People who have no idea that life is about to change. To really change. Know the classic signs: Face, Arms, Speech and Time—remember the acronym FAST. But do me a favor and look at the National. For a list of symptoms for women. The reason NOPW exists is to raise awareness of stroke in young people. So please know the symptoms, both FAST and those from the National Stroke Association. Awesome In...
