Feeling great!!!!

After all the whining I’ve done lately about not feeling completely like myself, I’ve got to share that today I felt GREAT! I think it’s been about a month since I felt this great. I felt pretty great yesterday too.

Today at work my concentration was BACK! That probably doesn’t mean I won’t be behind. Until science perfects human cloning and I can create three of myself, I don’t think that will happen. But at least I wasn’t falling asleep. My mind wasn’t constantly wandering off. My blood pressure wasn’t surging. My joints don’t even hurt!

When I got home I walked a mile to the pharmacy, picked up a script and walked back, all within about 45 minutes (including the wait time.) When I got home I didn’t feel exhausted. I’ve been working this evening and feeling actually pretty good. I even just went for a second walk as the weather here is just perfect.

I love the fall! I love to watch the leaves change color. I might be all grown up, but I still love to stomp through the leaves and hear them crunch under my feet. And, I especially love the cooler weather.

The leaves behind my apartment are just starting to turn and there are a few fallen ones blowing around on my patio. If only we could combine the long days of summer with the wonderful weather of the fall. Grin! I know, some people are just never happy – grin!

Ratner's Cheesecake

Here's another recipe from Toby! Thanks Toby......and I'll get the others posted soon!

It's worth the time it takes to prepare and every last calorie. Dough Can be prepared in advance. Makes enough for two cakes. Can be frozen or used to make cookies – see recipe below. 1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup shortening 1 teaspoon lemon extract 1 cup butter 2 eggs 3 cups sifted cake flour ½ teaspoon salt 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients with hands. Refrigerate 3 -4 hours, or preferably overnight. Filling (for

The next generation with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome

I'm so behind on posting about the trip to Puerto Rico. Since the episode of Mystery Diagnosis on Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome ran right after we got home, it's been a little busy. These, however, are my favorite pictures from Puerto Rico. I know, not pretty senery etc - but these little guys and gals inspire me. They are the next generation of folks with HPS, and if we keep up the hard work, they will live better lives because of it. They motivate me.

Help for one of our newest HPS friends

As many of you know, I have a google alert set up for all sorts of key terms like albinism, pulmonary fibrosis etc. The following was posted on the blog of a friend of Melanie's. Melanie is one of our newest members of the Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome family. Unfortunately, like so many she didn't know she had HPS and the lung disease sort of snuck up on her. Melanie will be 26 years old next week. Perhaps some of us would like to contribute to the fund set up to help her and her family for her birthday. Here's the post: Melanie Hernandez, beloved sister and daughter to Pete, Monique, Cookie, and Bugie, has been diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, a lung disease occurring in people with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome, a very rare disease.Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (“HPS”) is a genetic metabolic disorder.
