Diane Oser’s Sound Visions

Well, I’m winning the battle of infection from my last surgery, slowly. The second reconstructive surgery didn’t heal well so it’s been a hard go, and I’m still on the antibiotics and still needing dressing changes daily. I’m so tired of being under the weather, fatigued, and fearing illness. I was so delighted to be [...]

Isaac’s Tower Isaac Abromamovich was pretty confused.   He had woken up that morning feeling much the same as he always did, which was groggy, grouchy and hungry.  Not unusual for a thirteen year old boy.
