I am Lovable and Capable Part lll: How to Stop Your Sign From Ripping

By Julie May 15, 2008 3:21pm 2 Comments

JulieC

I wasn't planning on a part three to this series but so many of your comments and messages about part one and two gave me pause to think I may have left you all hanging. Many of you wanted to know how to protect your IALAC sign. Protecting your IALAC sign requires self awareness. I think many of us rip apart our own IALAC signs without ...

Your Child's Development: The Importance of Screening

By Dr. Jeremy May 15, 2008 11:17am 2 Comments

DrJeremy

A pediatrician will often be kidded for primarily taking care of colds, ear infections, and the routine vomiting/diarrhea illnesses. Throw in the occasional "zebra diagnosis" and a few well child care visits and most people think they've captured the daily routine of a pediatrician. But in today's pediatric landscape, the Pervasive Developmental ...

Vitamin D and Me

By Dr. Orrange May 15, 2008 10:12am 3 Comments

DrOrrange

Vitamin D is readily available through sun exposure and as a supplement yet there are new reasons to believe we are not getting as much Vitamin D as we need. Vitamin D deficiency can be discovered on a blood test done by your physician and is defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels < 20 to 30 ng/mL. Depending on the age group and season we ...

I learned something last night!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday, May 16, 2008

Hey Y'all,
I just wanted y'all to know that I am no longer depressed about my weight and this is why: Last night during my Women's Bible Study my friend Darlene said that God wants us to be FAT. Fat stands for: Faithful Available Teachable. So I may still not be so happy that I have gained weight but I am happy that I am Faithful Available Teachable.

Journal Entry for May 15, 2008

Thursday, May 15, 2008

I'm trying so hard not to cancel this upcoming appointment, but I'm scared shitless. Everything has been happening so fast. I went to my ex's grave for the first time a few weeks ago. I don't think any one was more suprised than I was. It was the first time I had ever been there, and he died a couple of years ago. I told my therapist I was never going back, ever again.
But I did. I...

Been reading in the BB about solving emotional problems which i have started to see happening in my life and discovering how to live at peace with unsolved problems which was the subject of my last meeting and which i definately have to work on due to my ocd, anxiety and perfectionism. It says in the book that through program is found serenity and peace of mind. At times i can ac...

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

Still working on the topic of sharing. This time hope. At first I was at a lost. Hit a big blank in my meditation. Then it occurred to me that since I embarked on a 12 step program I do have hope. At first I was thinking along the lines of what do I hope for like a new house a new car etc... and couldn't think of anything. Then it came to me that I now have...

Dad,
You can yell at me all you want. You can tell me I'm bitching and I should shut up 'cause you don't want to hear it. You can praise my brother and deny the fact he's straight up lied to you. You can cuss all you want. I have only one thing to say to you right now.
FUCK YOU.
I need to cut.

Journal Entry for May 11, 2008

Sunday, May 11, 2008

Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief. Reason is the natural order of truth, BUT GUILT can be a vicious lier Some people feel guilty about their anxieties a...

<>There's this picture of me as a baby randomly lying on the desk next to me. I can't keep my eyes off of it. It's like, I want to reach through the picture and hold that baby. Craddle her in my arms and promise to protect her. I keep whispering I'm sorry.
I keep having the same memory over and over again. It's one I haven't thought about in a long time, and it won...

Journal Entry for May 6, 2008

Tuesday, May 6, 2008

I'm feeling pretty lonely tonight, and I don't really know why.
It's not that I have a problem being single. I know that there are a lot of benifits, and I'm probably not ready for a relationship at the moment. And I know that God's timing is perfect...I just get so frustrated telling myself that God is with me and loves me. It's not that I don't believe it, because I d...

Life Update

Monday, May 5, 2008

Hey Y'all,
I know it has been a while since I last wrote a journal entry. I am staying pretty busy as usual and the last few days I have been pretty sick. So what lil' time I am up and out of bed has been spent checking email and responding to important ones only. I will try to get around to everyone here soon. Until then TWYS.
ALL MY LOVE,
Rue

Hand & Foot Abnormalities Information

The spectrum of congenital upper extremity deformities include a variety of defects or anomalies ranging from the partial duplication of a single digit or thumb, to the complete absence or failure of formation an entire limb. These uncommon anomalies may occur singularly, or may occur in combination with deformities. In addition, these anomalies may be an isolated finding at birth, or they may be related to a systemic or generalized syndrome. One of the more common abnormalities is clubfoot.

Congenital deformities of the hand represent some of the most challenging problems faced by hand surgeons. In many cases, the function of the hand and limb may be greatly improved by reconstructive surgery. Currently there are efforts being made to better understand the causes of these deformities.
