Worried Tears

Originally posted 2020-01-13 18:00:01. I have back surgery in the morning. 5:30am check-in. I could use your prayers. This is my 25th (or 26th I lost count) surgery and I am more nervous about this one than any of them. Maybe it’s me getting older or the fact that I buried my dad Nov 2017, my mom June 2018, my husband’s dog Charlie Feb 2019, & just a couple of weeks ago my nephews CJ…

Good grief

Originally posted 2019-01-10 16:42:39. Good grief, I had the roofers, the computer/IT guy, here. Trying to keep dogs contained since I couldn’t let them outside because of the roofers.

I look at the things both of my children have had to go through being biracial, to the illnesses,…

Sinus Sunday

Originally posted 2020-01-12 09:20:06. Here it is Sunday, January 12th 2020. It’s raining, stormy, thunder and lightening (just not very very frightening, lol) … and I am T- minus 2 days until surgery. I am on the merge of insanity because I can’t take certain medications prior to surgery. The rainy weather just makes it worse. The pressure from sinus issues and not being able to take meds for it. I normally am the person…

Is it or is it not?

Originally posted 2021-06-07 16:39:09. I have an appointment in the morning for the results of my sinus ct scan! Wish me luck! Now if they would hurry up with the ct scan of my pelvic/abdominal area… They found some spots when they did my ultrasound so the doc sent out for ct scan. Just waiting for them to call and set up the appointment for that. I feel like I’m gonna glow by the time…
