Well SHIT!

Originally posted 2021-06-01 15:00:56. This past weekend turned out to be one I’ll remember for a very long time. It started out where Saturday morning we picked up my husband’s dually pickup truck after the tires had been installed and the inspection had been done. We left and went to the gas station, got 10 gallons, just enough for now since he had a few things he needed to work on before he drives it…

I am still walking, breathing, talking, and I’m ok with that.

Originally posted 2014-04-23 13:35:05. Ok, from the first time I got sick, to the first surgery to the last. They all were needed for something. After 19 surgeries…let’s see. One of the bigger ones was the spinal fusion. November 2004. Went to the doctor for a CT/MRI follow-up. He tells me…you broke your spine. I literally thought he was playing. I mean come on. You are still walking and can feel yet you are telling…

What Title?

Originally posted 2019-12-30 07:38:22. Yeah, I wasn’t in a mood to try to figure out a fitting title this morning. As I sit here waiting for my pain medications to kick in I was just thinking. Though that’s hard for some of us natural blonde’s 😉 It started in 2017. My husband lost his grandmother so we went to Tampa to be with family. To celebrate her life, the matriarchal legacy. Even though I knew…

Second Session

Originally posted 2023-02-13 07:35:36. Here’s my second tattoo removal session. Now, I admit, this hurt more than the first session even with her putting the numbing cream on it. But, as you can see it I was able to tolerate it. You’ll hear her tell me why it hurts more than the first. Which I imagine it will likely hurt more next amd hopefully final session. Have any of you had tattoos removed? What was…
