Til now
So today, Dusty turned 32. I had him take a shower after he did his normal morning routines. He asked me if he could shave his mustache and beard, and I said yes. He uses my husband’s One Blade, and til now, we have never had a problem. I STRESS the words til now. He has never, ever, ever, ever… ever, ever Again, EVER EVER EVER done this. Til today… 🤦♂️🤦♂️ 🤦♂️🤦♂️ 🤦♂️🤦♂️ 🤦♂️🤦♂️ My…

Telemed Appointments
Originally posted 2020-04-21 10:50:42. You know this coronavirus quarantine stuff has its ups and downs. One plus for me is not having to go into a crowded office and having to sit in a overpopulated waiting room. Since Dusty’s immune system is already compromised this is a huge weight off my shoulders! Alot of the patients that are in one of the doctor’s offices are children. As we know as children we didn’t think about…

My heart is breaking
Originally posted 2018-06-15 14:38:27. This will be the hardest thing I have ever done. I have to somehow suppress the expression on my face because Dusty is watching me like a hawk. He knows something is up. This hurts so much. I don’t know how to let go of my mother. I don’t know how to live my life without her. I don’t know how I will ever explain it to Dusty. I pray to…

Starts at home
Originally posted 2023-08-06 17:39:39. Parents, Grandparents, Guardians…School is starting and I want to ask you a favor… Sit down with your child for 5 minutes and explain that there is no reason to make fun of someone for being tall, short, chubby, skinny, black, white or hispanic, Autistic, etc. There’s nothing wrong with wearing the same shoes 👞👟 every day. Explain to them that a used backpack 🎒 carries the same dreams as a new…

Originally posted 2018-06-12 13:09:01. I need your prayers, miracles. My heart hurts and I just can’t do life without my momma. She is in the fight for life and I will likely not be on social media much. Her kidneys took a hit and need to heal in order for them to do any chemo or radiation. Cancer is in her liver and lungs and they need to see if it is in her brain…

The Big C
Originally posted 2018-06-06 11:13:07. As I sit here looking of inspiration for each keystroke I hold back tears. The normal daily routine of getting my son up to take his medications doesn’t stop for anything. Hearing the words in my head over and over… CANCER… My mother has beaten colorectal cancer just a few years ago. Her body still trying to recover from the chemo and radiation. Then having to have her arteries bypassed…

Repetitious
Originally posted 2021-09-18 09:00:22. The past month has been a bunch of repeats. Over and over I go. It’s been my husband, myself, my son, my best friend and the dogs. Each of us has had at least one appointment. To tell you the truth it has been more than just one. From my laser hair removal to massage therapy. To pain management to ear, nose, and throat specialist. Then our normal primary doctor’s appointments.…

Generic
You know the times you run low on your meds, and you just call the pharmacy and get more? Yeah, well, that’s now how it worked this time… 🤦♂️ Dusty told us he had one of his meds… “One pill mom” 😳😳😳 Yeah, ummmm… majority of the time, it’s no big deal. Even though we have been trying to get him to understand that he needs to tell us a lot sooner. I keep his…
