Happy Mother's Day!

Over the last few years, through all of my heath struggles, my mom and grandmother have been there for me more than anyone else.  My mom has been to almost every doctors appointment, and spends days at the ER with me.  She is the one to I usually go to when I need to cry (which it often), or share happy news (which is rare these days).  I don't know what I would do without her!

Talk About the Sh*t you Don't Want to Talk About

Cushing's Awareness Day

Over the past 8 years, I have spent a few Aprils blogging every day for Cushing's awareness.  I will not be blogging daily this year, but don't want to let the month go by without spreading some awareness!


April 8th is Cushing's Awareness Day because it is Harvey Cushing's Birthday.  Harvey Cushing is the father of modern neurosurgery, and he also was the first to discover Cushing's Disease in one of his patients.  You can see a drawing of his patient (Minnie G) in many text book articles about Cushing's.
