I am up and at the computer about to start day 2 of National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness WeeK . Your prayers have been so appreciated and I am thrilled that day 1 worked out so well with no technical glitches, no computer errors, etc.
This year I really wanted Georgia Shaffer to speak and Monday morning was the only slot she had available since she had a full week. (Thanks, Georgia for squeezing us in!) So we kicked things off and jumped right into talking about how we deal with our difficulties in life in different ways. We had over 200 listeners for our first show so we were off to a great start.
I have a pumpkin candle to create some atmosphere in my office, but am too scared to light it, so instead am just spritzing pumpkin room spray around. It smells like fall. I keep trying to turn and prop my feet up on a chair. My feet are swelling again and I don’t know if it’s the weather, or due to sitting so long here, or the angle of the chair. I keep moving everything to try to rotate positions.
Next was the 12 pm show. Jennifer Jaff shared some wonderful insight into insurance issues and also what to do when we have a pre-existing condition. This seminar is one you will want to listen to and have a piece of paper ready to take notes. She gave a lot of web sites that are helpful as well, all of which are available at her web site. And just a reminder that her services with her organization Advocacy for Patients are free (yep, you read that right.)
After the second show the phone rang and it was my parents. My mom said, “If it’s okay, I have a plane ticket I can get.” Okay? Yes! My parents had just returned from a trip to TN the day before (after being stuck overnight at SF due to plane issues). I hadn’t asked her to come for II Week because I didn’t think she should be returning from a long trip and then fly down here. She has her own chronic illness issues. But she said, “If you can do this, I can get on a plane. This is why I retired. ” Thanks to Dad who encouraged her to go and gave her 20,000 of her airline miles so the ticket was affordable.

Canada’s annual inflation rate slowed in June as gasoline prices fell for the first time since October 2009 while the costs of home upkeep and car insurance advanced.
The consumer price index rose 1 percent, the slowest in seven months, after a 1.4 percent gain in May, Statistics Canada said today. The core rate that excludes eight volatile items slowed to 1.7 percent from 1.8 percent. Economists forecast the inflation rate would be 1 percent and the core rate 1.9 percent, according to the median of 18 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey.
Overall and core inflation will advance at about a 2 percent pace through 2012 as the economy returns to full capacity after last year’s recession, Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney said yesterday. The bank’s forecast anticipates a “gradual” rise in interest rates to keep inflation at that pace, Carney said.
“There is spare capacity still to be absorbed in the Canadian economy,” and that’s holding down inflation, said Jonathan Basile , a Credit Suisse economist in New York.
