Liquid Zoo

Two weeks ago, we went to the new Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto. We'd been waiting on tenterhooks for months, if not longer in this wasn't helped it owl by their really excellent buzz building marketing before opening. I'm pretty sure thousands of people in Toronto were bursting from anticipation.

It's taken a while working through the many, many (and many) photos from the day. In fact, there are so many, that the story of the day needs to be told in two different posts. Today, I'm focusing on the jaw-dropping beauty. Which it took a while to figure out how to photograph, but after 50 or so very blurred photos, I think I finally got there.

I'll do the second post about the aquarium in the next few weeks and so, telling the story of us there. Today, though, not so many words. I'll just let the undersea world speak for itself.

Because most of the time, that hoof beat of a rash likely isn’t the plague, the joint pain more likely a type of arthritis than the bends (especially if the person has never scuba dived) and you get the picture. But once in a while, it actually is a zebra. And even if it’s first identified as a horse, eventually, the stripes come through. It took five years of my parents running around to different doctors before one finally recognized that I had

Getting a diagnosis of any type of chronic illness can throw you for loop. There is so much to know and you have so little energy. My new slideshow for HealthCentral collects 13 things you need to know as an RA newbie : "Receiving a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a moment of strange duality. On one hand, you may be relieved to finally have answers for the symptoms you’ve been experiencing. On the other, it can be incredibly overwhelming to find out you have a chronic illness.
