I’m overwhelmed and should probably make a list (I don’t make lists)  about all of the things he won’t be doing around the house.  I have to pick up the slack.  This is not a woe is me I’m going to be so overburdened.  This is a gratitude feeling deep down inside.  I’m thankful that… Read more

But realized I’m not that person anymore!  The holiday season is my magical season, but it is also seems to be the season that has slowly been shredded for me….shredded because of sadness…..at least sporadically over the last couple decades. My dad had a stroke around Thanksgiving one year and a heart attack on Christmas… Read more

We were expecting his surgery to move forward some time Friday..there was even discussion that he would be waiting until Monday…UGH! Thursday morning, Kate texted that an OR opened up and they were taking him down within the hour.  The relief was stronger than the fear!  A long afternoon later he was in recovery!  Triple… Read more

Great news. Cardiologists and surgeon has been in. Bypass for Friday (penciled in). Not good candidate for stents. The main blockages has already started rerouting to send blood down into the left side. Very minimal damage. The part that is sluggish is getting enough blood to make it viable so when it receives good volume… Read more

This place has been a part of our lives way, WAY too much in 2015.  But we are thankful.  It is our #1 option for health care. Yesterday was a tough day for the family.  He was wheeled in to have what we assumed was a stent put in to take care of whatever blockage… Read more

   We don’t really know what is going on inside our bodies until we get that wake up knock…louder and louder…. So while sitting on the davenport watching TV last night, he turned to me and said, “I’m having chest pain”. He is in the hospital in Lee’s Summit.  Preliminary tests have us believing he… Read more

Okay.  This cold, rainy weather is getting to me!  If I could, I would cover all of the Windows so I can’t see out and live a little fantasy that it is cold in here because it is bloody hot outside and I’ve had to turn the air down.   I did a little proactive… Read more

I struggle with opinions of the minority being foisted on the majority.  I suppose I actually should say the minority who screams the loudest attempting to drown out the beliefs and/or civil rights and/or lifestyles of other humans….or those who  try to control the masses with ignorance, fear, supremacy and prejudice; yet dabble in the… Read more

…and that is a part of being human.   I went out about as far as my tether would reach yesterday in delight about someone’s misfortune.  I wish I could say that I reeled myself back in with admonishments during some quiet time last night but, quite frankly, I still feel the same way today.… Read more

Not worrying about what others thought about me.  My wardrobe, my hair, my makeup, my weight, my words, my personality, all of my shoulds, my guilt, my cars, my house, my stuff, my inner thoughts, my politics, my beliefs, ME! This is not  a blog about woe is me…this is not even a blog about… Read more
