Your Thoughts and Prayers Please for Someone Who Has Helped me Heal

Many of you know how much I've healed during my work with Leonard, my Exposure Therapist for my OCD struggles, and now he needs thoughts and prayers for his own healing. I went for my session yesterday, and another therapist came into the waiting room to tell me that Leonard had tried to call all his clients, but that he must not have gotten to me, and that he was in the hospital. He gave everyone a good scare, but it sounds like he's going to be ok and out of the hospital soon, but he has healing ahead of him, and I'm not sure when he'll be back to seeing clients.

I am so grateful for the compassion and skill of this therapist, and saddened that he is going through this hard time. I also feel for his other clients, especially ones who have just started, or who are in OCD crisis. The rapport between therapist and client is an amazing tool for motivation and growth and courage in facing what we fear. Leonard once told me he felt honored that his clients trusted him with their personal thoughts and fears.

Life by its nature is full of the unexpected, pain and suffering, but also contains joy, love and meaning. In the past, my OCD would go into overdrive trying to figure out the suffering, with compulsive analysis, but I am learning that some questions have no answers, and I am able to live in spite of this. I never thought I'd find someone to help me face my OCD, and it feels like a miracle that I did, and I hope for miracles in Leonard's life too.

Edited to add: I saw Leonard for therapy on Tuesday. He is doing much better, and his tests came out negative, so that was a relief! Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers.

What To Know About Chimney Liners Windsor Locks CT Has Today

By Edward Foster

If you own a home and you have a chimney in your kitchen, you need to learn a few things about them. Be informed on the type of chimney liners Windsor Locks CT has today that will be available in the marketplace. If you go to the market searching for a liner for your flue passage structure, you will realize that you can buy either aluminum or stainless steel liner depending on what is best suited for your flue passage structure.

Different liners will perform best in different circumstances. Their endurance levels to heat differ greatly. For instance, stainless steel can endure more than the aluminum liner. In case you are looking for a flue passage structure liner to fix in a fireplace, you should forget aluminum liner and go for a stainless steel because it can contain all the flames and heat produced. Fuel and appliances also have an effect on this.

Manufacturers of stainless steel liners give their products guarantee. Some of them are guaranteed for life. I know there are a lot of people who do not know that lifetime guarantees exist, but they do exist. It is so encouraging to spend your money on something that you will not worry about for an entire lifetime. A lot of people would wish to purchase that. This a good reason to invest in the stainless steel liner.

The chimney industry becomes more interesting when you are guaranteed on the job performed by a chimney service. When the liner is guaranteed for life and the work of the company given a guarantee, what else is there to worry about? Take your time to look for these companies because they are there.

When a liner is installed on a chimney, it should have a cap. This cap functions to offer protection to the liner and the crown too. If you want to provide your liner with maximum protection, it is advisable that the cap be fixed to the flue passage structure. Avoid using the caps that are packaged with the liner kit since they do not cover the crown. They only cover the liner, and no protection is given to the crown.

A crown is a very sensitive part of the smokestack. There are some elements when allowed to enter the flue passage structure will shorten the life cycle of the crown. To ensure this does not happen, cover the crown of the flue passage structure with a cap. Any cement put on the flue passage structure can wear off too. Keep the flue passage structure in good shape and expenses that may be needed for repairs will not be necessary.

A chimney is not something that was invented yesterday.It has been there even in the 1940s.During this time chimney was built by the use of bricks to perform a similar function performed by the stainless steel and aluminum chimneys. Modern chimneys are improvements of the old chimneys. If you do not have a flue passage structure, you can be endangering your home with harmful flames.

Despite the type of material that has been used to make the liner of your chimney, it will wear out at one given a point of its life. To make sure that your flue passage structure remains in good condition, you should let it be inspected and sweeping should also be carried out. Brick chimneys have the longest lifespan although they can reach a time when they crack.

AMD Update 17 Dame Judi Dench Has Macular Degeneration

Over the weekend, several articles appeared in the British press and also here in the States, about Dame Judi Dench announcing that she has macular degeneration – dry in one eye and wet in the other – and that she was going blind, although she was receiving treatment for the wet AMD in the hopes of preserving some of her sight in that eye.

I considered writing about this, but couldn’t find the right words – then I read what my friend Steve Rose of the Foundation Fighting Blindness had written on his blog, Eye on the Cure – and realized that he had the story just right.

So, with his permission, here is what he wrote:

Truly Grand Dame

Dr. Stephen Rose

Chief Research Officer

Foundation Fighting Blindness

Feb 20, 2012 05:30 pm

She's best-known, these days, as "M," director of the British Secret Service, in the last half-dozen James Bond films. But at 77, actress Judi Dench didn't earn the title Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire solely for turning the notion of "Bond girl" on its head. In fact, she earned that title back in 1988, after delivering what was already a career-and-a-half's worth of stage and film performances, in everything from Shakespeare to the musical Cabaret. Since then, she's worked non-stop, playing, among other notable roles, Queens Elizabeth (Shakespeare in Love) and Victoria (Mrs. Brown) on film and starring in a long-running BBC hit comedy, As Time Goes By.

So it was with sadness that this past weekend I read the wire reports that Dame Judi has age-related macular degeneration, otherwise known as AMD. She reportedly can't read scripts anymore, nor can she see clearly the faces of fellow actors and, more important, family and friends.

That sadness, however, is mixed with hope. And those of you acquainted with the Foundation probably know why.

AMD is a retinal degenerative disease that affects the macula - the part of the retina that allows us to see fine detail. Worldwide, AMD is the most common cause of blindness in those 50 and older. More than 1.6 million in England are affected, and roughly 10 million people in the United States either have AMD or are at risk for developing it.

It's no surprise that Dame Judi mentioned, in an interview, that her mother had AMD, seeing as Foundation-funded researchers discovered that genetics appears to be a major factor in more than half of AMD cases.

Dame Judi also mentioned having both kinds of AMD - wet and dry - one in each eye. Dry AMD, which accounts for 90 percent of all cases, is caused by the accumulation of protein- and fat-containing "drusen," or waste deposits. It's true that drusen can become apparent with age and not cause vision loss, and it usually takes many years for a person to lose vision to dry AMD. People with dry AMD don't usually experience a total loss of central vision, but they do lose significant ability to read, drive and do work that requires seeing fine detail (like Dame Judi). And they are at greater risk for developing the more severe wet form.

Wet AMD is the one which causes more vision loss. It's "wet" because abnormal blood vessels grow beneath the macula, leaking blood and fluid and doing damage to photoreceptor cells. Wet AMD often progresses rapidly and can cause substantial loss of central vision.

So, why am I hopeful? Well, Ms. Dench did mention she's getting injections, and that they may be helping stop the vision loss. Although the article didn't go into detail, there are now a few treatments available to people with wet AMD - Lucentis and, more recently, a drug called Eylea, are FDA-approved here in the United States, and some ophthalmologists are using Lucentis' cousin, Avastin - developed to treat colon cancer - off label. All these were made possible by Foundation-funded studies supplying research leading to their development. Essentially, these treatments dry up those blood vessels, halting vision loss and, in some cases, even restoring some vision for people with wet AMD.

One last detail that's not surprising, considering Dame Judi's longevity in a career usually not kind to women of certain ages: her pluck. She says she has every intent to continue working, as people can read her scripts and directors can make accommodations for her on film. At the Foundation, and at AMD Alliance International, of which we're a member, we have seen that same kind of determination in many people with AMD, including those I spoke with a couple weeks ago during a seminar in Florida. These are resourceful, optimistic and determined people who continue to inspire us in our search for treatments and cures for all retinal diseases.

Dame Judi was quoted as saying she has no plans to retire soon. We, at the Foundation, certainly hope not, and we look forward to many more great performances.
