    Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah. After years of those short but important phrases being all but taboo, it’s nice that they’re back. Or, at least, back until the next wave of societal flux into something else that’s basically unrecognizable and scary. I feel like I should be cleaning the house right now. Well, it’s not really Read more

    I had a rather awkward conversation with Dr. Hill. He’s the house doctor, whatever that is. I guess he’s a big boy around here at St. Francis. ….. Well, long story short…. I finally saw a neurologist for my back. I was so bad that I was admitted to St. Francis on the same day Read more

    Well, I got one of my wishes. Sort of. I’ll be busy until next Monday or so. Well, I don’t know if sitting around in a hospital qualifies as busy. But, given my previous hospital stays, I feel uncomfortable for a couple of days, level out, and then sort of enjoy it. So… I think Read more

    I guess I’m a little slow on the update, but I think mowing season is over. It’s snowing this evening and it’s mostly sticking. When I checked the mail, I tracked in some wet footprints. The furnace keeps kicking on. My bones, muscles, and body aches. The upper back and front are exceedingly tight. Yep. Read more

    Does anyone else feel that this is America’s underlying song since Trump won? Well, maybe not every American but enough to encapsulate the majority feeling and cultural unrest. Not cultural unease. There’s been too many historic waves of terror over the pas thirty years, even this year alone, to make us feel at ease. But, Read more

    Well, I guess I have some happy news to report. It’s not really ‘happy,; I guess but I’m happy with it. Although, being me, I wish would happen more quickly than what’s scheduled. —- I got to be patient. My beautiful mother accompanied me to the lung doctor today. And I’m scheduled for my first Read more

  • Balancing Health Priorities: A Personal Journey

    Well, I’m kind of at a loss on what to do with my day now. I had my online appointment with Centerstone Allison. Reached out to the wound care center for clarification about how often the packing should be changed in my spine, and rescheduled Dr. P’s appointment as it conflicted with a lung appointment.

    ….. Sneezles (the cat) hasn’t eaten anything in nearly a week. Or, at least about a week. He barely moves. Barely drinks. I think he mews when he doesn’t see anyone for a while or just when he has strength to do so. Quite clearly, he won’t be around for much longer. And there’s nothing Read more

    Today has been up and down. I started on a fairly sour note. I was up at my usual AM time, had breakfast, went back to sleep. Although I’m aware sleeping is good, I still feel fairly horrible and guilty for doing so — although I know there’s no valid reason to be awake 20 Read more

    I’m kind of surprised that I’m doing as well as I am. The fluctuation in temperature from warm to cold has left me extremely stiff. My back is starting to bleed from the wound again. My joints ache. Of course, there’s the ongoing struggle to sleep and the change of thyroid medicine has left me Read more
