   I just watched the Momma Hawk feed the babies this morning….It is so TOTALLY Cool!!!  Watch!!!!  If you log on about 8:00am, then you can watch  her feed them and groom them before she puts them down for  their morning nap!  I just keep one window open on this all day so I can check back every now and then.  Enjoy!

Somebody Lied

   I have mentioned in an earlier post that I have an incurable condition, but I didn’t name the ailment.   In 1997 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.  It is very painful, was difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat.    I think I was off work for over 8 months trying to get stabilized on medications and relieve the pain cycle.  Finally I was able to return to my beloved career as a Flight Attendant and continued working for many years until I was furloughed in 2003.  Initially I was on several highly addictive medications and I eventually came off of all of them and only took herbal and vitamin supplements.   

    One of the encouraging things that I was told during my recovery was ” if you have Fibromyalgia, you will not get cancer.”   Well, now I still have the Fibromyalgia and now I also have cancer.   Somebody lied to us.   I really don’t care at this point because what is, is.  I just wanted to set the record straight.  You can get cancer if you have Fibromyalgia.  There!
