VOORHEES, NJ, USA So, we’re back in the hospital. My grandmom fell out of bed sometime early Saturday morning, between 5am and 11am.

STRATFORD, NJ, USA So, yesterday marked 19 months since I moved in with my grandmom. I don’t really have much to say this time around, because everything from my last monthly Nana-recap still holds. My grandmom still continues to decline slowly, but it’s not always immediately noticeable. The only real changes in the last month [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA When people (or forms) ask me how tall I am, I’ve been quoting 5’11″ as my height since the end of high school. Occasionally, I’d bemoan that I just missed the 6 foot mark. The other day I realized that I hadn’t double-checked this height in about 7 years. So, out of [...]
