Making some progress

Originally posted 2020-01-27 17:09:32. It’s now been a couple of weeks since my back surgery. I have definitely made some progress but not as much as I’d like. Sometimes my own pride and determination get in the way and I do too much. Like today, I was looking for some of my replacement parts for my irobot vacuum and know I had them somewhere. So, I started moving this and that. Putting this here and…

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…

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…

Dry skin ain't in

Originally posted 2020-01-10 10:00:49. Ok, now that you’ve seen this… Have you ever even heard of it? I found this stuff while watching QVC before Christmas. I love this stuff!! I really do! I use the soap in the shower and just washing my hands! I have honestly used it twice to wash something off my face. This stuff suds so well even with hard water. It’s extremely moisturizing and I don’t automatically feel like…

Yesterday’s Pain

Originally posted 2021-06-03 08:56:32. I had an appointment with a massage therapist yesterday. This is the second time I have seen this therapist. She worked on alot of areas but also worked on the massive amount of scar tissue in my abdomen. She worked on it so much I have had to lather my abdomen with my cbd massage melt and my cbd muscle rub. 😩 This is pretty much the first time someone has…

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…
