I want to light a little candle for my friend, Michele. She has been there for me since I first moved here, helping me by watching my dogs, helping me financially if I needed it, being an ear, etc. She is a straight ally who volunteers in the democratic campaign HQ in her area, volunteers with LGBT youth (even driving a group of them to Pride in OR this past summer), and busted my butt until I agreed to stop isolating myself and go ride with the Dykes on Bikes a few years ago at Seattle pride.

She is diabetic and has been battling infections in her feet for a few years now - constantly being in pain, being on antibiotics, wearing a PICC line, etc - she even had to have a couple of toes amputated.

Lately, she has been having dizzy spells and has been falling - when she was visiting me in October, she fell at least 3 times, one time even blacking out for a moment, not even realizing she had fallen into my tub while walking into the bathroom.

This past weekend, she fell again and this time, she broke her arm, requiring surgery and a rod and pins in her arm. She also tested positive for MRSA.

I dont know what is up with her body lately, but she cant seem to catch a break - so I am lighting a candle for her, hoping that she can find some relief from the pain and the hits to her body that just keep on coming.
