He Saw Right Through Me

Posted on March 6, 2019 By Sister Rain

At the orthopedist’s office, I first met with an athletic trainer who was spending a few weeks there for the purpose of his continuing education. We discussed the issue I was having in both shoulders and reviewed prior bone and their accessories’ problems I’ve had in the past. As I…

It’s My Latte And I’ll Gulp It If I Want To

Posted on February 27, 2019March 1, 2019 By Sister Rain

Posted on February 22, 2019 By Sister Rain
