Finally!

As some of you may know we now have 3 granddaughters. I think they were trying endlessly for a boy. Well she found out she was married, again. My best friend automatically said, “it’ a boy” I am not sure what made her think right away that it was a boy. But it worked! It is a boy!! FINALLY! I told the doc the day we went in for an ultrasound could he just snip…

My Soul

My Soul hurts as today, June 14th 2025, marks one year since my Chewy has been gone. I know he isn’t hurting anymore. He isn’t suffering from the agressive cancer that ravaged his body, but it hurts so much that it is hard to even explain. His loss has changed me. I love dogs but it has left me no wanting to “fill that hole”. I hope those of you reading this understand what I…

Unexpected

Originally posted 2023-06-12 09:00:00. It’s been a few days since my esophageal scope. That went as… unexpected. The doc found cells in my tract that aren’t normally found in your tract. So… he took three biopsies while he was in there. Thank goodness for what I call the Michael Jackson drug… sad that the drug is widely known as that but it is what it is. Bottom half of my body hurts, now the other…

Consult for Laser Therapy

Originally posted 2021-08-26 09:00:00. I had a physical done this morning with my primary doctor. I brought up the issue of repeated …dare I say…boils. I hate these f’n things with a passion. I suffer from Hidradenitis suppurativa and some days the flair ups are worse than others. I do not shave and in full disclosure I have to use tweezers to pull any unwanted hair to help prevent any boils in that hair follicle.…

Hopefully it helps

Originally posted 2021-08-20 09:00:00. I have been having lots of pain, more specifically nerve pain. I have had to take more of my Neurontin because of it. Thing that I absolutely despise about this medication is the side effect of weight gain. I have done trigger point injections to try and get some relief but the latest one didn’t bring much relief. So, now we are going to try an epidural to help. I can’t…

National search to find Montford Point Marines

Originally posted 2019-02-07 11:05:13. JACKSONVILLE, NC (WITN) – If you know a Marine who served decades ago during segregation in Jacksonville at Montford Point, your contribution could be invaluable to a group of leaders who’ve began a nationwide search to find and honor all the Monford Point Marines. February, during Black History Month, is one of the many appropriate times of the year to recognize the Marines historic contributions. From 1942 to 1949, approximately 20,000 African…

Comfortably Numb

Originally posted 2020-02-29 08:32:10. This is where I am right now. As much as I smile to hide through the pain this is me. I will admit it. It’s like I am almost not even feeling things the way I would normally. Am I depressed? Maybe so. I am not suicidal even though I will admit that after my momma’s passing all I wanted to do was be with her. The moment she passed I…
