How Can You Not Laugh at a Time Like This isn’t a memoir.  Instead it is more of a book of essays of all the things that helped Carla keep sane as she navigated through the health system and dealt with challenges – some from her health and some from trying to find the help that she needed."

This has nothign to do with medical humor- just humor. Dating humor, to be specific. Joe (hubby) was organizing his cassettes (remember those?) and found this unreleased version of "Love Connection," which I recorded in Nashville in 1998 with a really hot band. Very jazzy version. So... 14 years later (!), here it is! Stream it or buy it at thefump.com.

When she was in the hospital, Ulbrich wrote parodies of songs. She said laughter is important. Ulbrich's CD, “Sick Humor, The Lighter Side of Illness,” was recorded five years before she wrote the book."
