Recovery Time

Originally posted 2020-01-15 09:03:22. This was me yesterday as we were going home. My husband had gone into store to get me some coffee. I needed some, desperately. Surgery was a success. But they found some areas of concern that had “abnormal movement” as was stated by the surgeon to my husband.This will require more surgeries after this one. But first I have to recover from this one. I am trying to rest up today…

You funny doc

Originally posted 2021-03-24 09:23:59. I go to my follow-up doctors appointment yesterday. This was to get results of a bunch of tests that were run to see if I had a blood disorder that may explain why I keep having mini-strokes. I had my ninth mini-stroke in February. So, the doctor proceeds with the appointment and tells me all my tests came back negative. YAY right?! Which I’m glad because had I tested positive for…

My daughter has her life. What if…

Highs and Lows

As you may recall we all got covid after our grandbaby (the 2nd one) was born. For the most part we have recovered, well it seems that way. Still wearing a mask when we go somewhere though. The other day I had a routine diabetes appointment. My blood pressure was on the higher side but my heartrate was even higher. My diabetes doc was tempted to do an EKG but my rhythm was fine just…

Warranted Explanations

Originally posted 2015-05-06 22:53:15. First off, my bio situation sort of went in a totally different direction than expected. Just a couple of weeks ago I had gone to visit him a few times that week. On that Thursday there was a meeting with the facility social worker. Myself and the “girlfriend” were in attendance along with speech therapy, physical therapy, social worker and nurse. We spoke about his current condition and the fact that…
