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…

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…

TMI?

Originally posted 2023-03-02 14:22:38. Ok… warning for some this may be too much info for your liking. So… here I go. In the past couple weeks I have been having issues with several things. My left leg, groin, butt cheek, and top and bottom of my left foot. Then all of a sudden I started having issues with my bowels and bladder functions. My pain management doc had previously told me that if I had…

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…

The small things

Originally posted 2019-01-02 14:21:44. View this post on Instagram This thing is awesome! Saves me time and a headache!! Don’t get me wrong my son does well when he vaccums but when I have to hear him for over 2 hours and he does areas repeatedly it will give you a headache. This thing is a game changer, a life changer! and it sounds like it is taking off when it empties the bin 😂😂…

Step 1 of 2

Originally posted 2019-12-18 16:07:11. Went to see the neurosurgeon this morning. My tests results show some instability of the spine on top of a few other issues. Issues that he admitted were complex. First thing we are having to do is do a laminectomy with decompression. Second, at a later date, would be a multi-level spinal fusion. Part of the issue with that would be a single level left in between fusions below and above.…
