This month has been slow and fast all the same. Wound healing is moving on, albeit very slowly. I have my good days, and I have my bad days energy-wise. Let’s see…what all have I done this month? I drove a couple of times, but it’s nice that I have three extra drivers in myContinue reading “Unexpected Fireworks”

Never in my life could I imagine those words being so comforting – but they were the best words I think I’ve ever heard. I came home Thursday afternoon and while we were in the process of discharge they came in with my radiology report. My scans showed nothing malignant or scary looking, “just 14Continue reading “Just 14 broken ribs”

Well, folks, it seems I cannot get through June without landing myself in the hospital. The past year and a half has been super busy and I had a couple of posts started to get you guys caught up BUT like my well-loved metaphor of Whack-A-Mole, we had a new “mole” pop up. I’ll focusContinue reading “June = hospital”

I had my one week post on Monday and we couldn’t be happier! I got rid of one drain, and just have one to go.

I mean, the holidays….. and then there was the new Covide surge which had me in hiding again,Continue reading “Get Moving into March! (a new project)”

Well everyone, January was a tough one – lots of not so nice anniversaries and then I lost my Dad to Covid. This week though, I am having some happy because I’m restocking my Cozy Closet at the hospital. On Christmas Eve a huge load of goodies were delivered to me from the ladies atContinue reading “Cozy Closet update 2/16/21”

When our youngest turned three this past year there was a moment where he said in a shocked and somewhat fearful voice, with tears in his eyes “I don’t want to be three! I want to be two!” He has brought this up at random since then and said it again this morning. When IContinue reading ““Mamma, I want to be two again””
