The cost of chronic pain
There is a saying that being poor is expensive. From personal experience, I know this to be true. But I think it also needs to be said that, especially in the United States, chronic illness can be quite expensive as well. In fact, there is a huge intersection between poverty and disability/illness. As with many intersections, it is a chicken-or-egg scenario, difficult to determine which is begetting which. But one thing is clear: there are often blind spots about these expenses in the medical community and how they can impact chronically ill people already struggling with finances. Recently I attended a seminar on the topi...

It’s Time for Renewal? I Don’t Think I Can Do it Again
Spring has sprung; the bulbs are popping out of the soggy ground, peeking out of snowy mounds in some parts of the country and the cat’s got that certain look in her eye. The poet’s tell us in spring a young man’s fancy turns to love. Since I’m neither young nor male, I can’t really verify that. I do know this is the time for renewal for all of nature when that process fulfills a cycle of new birth. Bears are coming out of hibernation, perhaps stretching and yawning. Young chicks and ducklings are breaking through white and speckled shells, pecking their way into a world which will astound them and we humans are ...
