I'm so glad that I have always been stubborn enough to never get a flu shot or allow any of my children to have a flu shot. Just the thought of having yourself injected with the virus itself has always seemed stupid to me. Every time someone gets a flu shot that I knew seemed to get sick

Rob, we are so blessed as to have a hot tub and doing water therapy has probably been the best thing I could be doing. With already having the hot tub and with the price of gas, adding to that not being able to work any longer, I decided I would set up my own set up PT (sorry to be repeating

Oh, Rob, to us there is no complaining when it comes to our TM. If that were the case, we might as well back out of TMIC and crawl in a hole and be alone, again!! One of the most difficult moments of this entire TM time is when I had to walk in and give my notice having to tell my 'other family'
