Today’s victory is a bit unique but also something I think people can relate to in a general sense. Money is very tight this month and we’re really struggling.

I just realized I neglected to mention how Lizze’s appointment with the Neurological Center for Pain at the Cleveland Clinic went. For starters, the staff was absolutely amazing. Not that it’s a surprise, but it really is important to note that because we’ve had some truly awful experiences with other medical facilities in the past. …
