JOURNAL OF HEALING ESSAYS
Six things learned after 13 years
We have the cure but not the will
The end of a period in more ways than one
Paws to consider the good life
Busy is as busy does
Do dollars add up to the best medical decision?
For Valentine's Day, skip the math
An economy of care may not be so caring
Resolution: To live up to my own obituary
SNAFU: Situation Normal -- All Fixed Up
The harvest is rich from seeds of the heart
Good patient care requires CYA antidote
Heavy Stuff: Confessions of a furniture
mover
The trick is to treat with a clear conscience
The doctor's diagnosis was right on the mark
Traveling with wheels, but never alone
Knowing when to let go
What goes up gets ordered down
My life in dog years
Oh, the inconvenience of conveniences
Debate rages over end-of-life issues
Think about those boundaries in your head
The label is only part of who we are
To a dad who's gone but ever more present
Straight lines get you from point to
point but not through life
Years of endurance punctuated by romance
The scientific method may not have a prayer
Just get over it? Not likely
The Reeve legacy: How tragedy empowers
Good news: Apologies with no regrets
Quick and easy, but for whom?
Sail on, o ship of state, but change course
No option, but there are still choices
I saw it on TV; it must be good
The Aging Brain: A Forest of Wisdom
If this is progress, why do I feel so backward?
Old age is all in how you look at it
When doctor's orders are tough to obey
When plans go awry, take heart
Plenty of turkeys for Thanksgiving this year
High medical bills? It's a matter of values
Health care a la Wal-Mart
No
shortcuts to the right pathway
Do
they make funny bone implants?
Roll a mile in their wheelchairs
Faith and familiarity get us through the long haul
THE
END
