Chaos
The past 48 hours, maybe even 72 hours by now, have been nothing short of crazy. Unfortunately, the dream of writing the articles in my head Thursday and Friday didn’t all come to the fruition I had envisioned. There were at least 2 if not 3 more articles I should have posted by now. Before…

Wednesday
March 13, 2025 Wow this week has gone by fast. Thankfully the hospital didn’t make me wait all day. I got my arrival time before 9:30 this morning. It helped my day because of that fact. Fortunately for me and Dad my surgery is early this time. I will have to be up at least…

Sittin In… A Clinic
Friday was the day Mom had to reschedule an appointment from the day before. If Dad hadn’t have had an agenda of his own that day she would have made it Thursday afternoon, but she canceled it and was fortunately able to find an opening on that Friday morning. Sometimes I feel like I am…

Sitting In… The Lobby
Wednesday was a good day. I was really excited that my therapy was about to start. It has been a good 6 years since I first had to go through therapy before getting to the MRI for my initial diagnosis. Only a month and a half ago was my first time back in this hospital…

Sitting In…
Talk about a roller coaster; I feel like me and my family have been on one this week. I personally have had more time in the hospital than any of them due to my therapy starting on foot this past week. It was such an unexpected blessing. Mom got the phone calls because for some…

The Past 24 Hours
Bryan and I have had this unspoken competition. Who is under the most stress? Usually he says I am. Only because he knows more about my days because I admittedly talk about my day’s activities more. I woke up to a text saying in no uncertain terms that he had overdone it and needed to…

Second Trial Run
This morning was a different experience. Fortunately for Mom that is a good thing. There were less times to wait which was nicer and better on my nerves. As I have specified over the past week I have been dealing with allergies. Although the last 48 hours have been really good. No sneezing, but lots…

Tomorrow
It’s been about a month since Mom’s initial procedure on her back. This is the second one and this one will be with a different drug. It is part of procedural policy to change the drugs being used for insurance purposes. Hopefully God-willing it will be less stressful and smoother than the first time. Waiting…

The Conclusion of Experiences and Reality
Thankfully the nurse made sure to ask for my phone number especially since I was the designated driver. Later in the lobby, I heard a lady say that the nurse had forgotten to get her phone number and it made things a little complicated, but the receptionist was able to help her out in a…

The Experience Versus The Reality
Yesterday morning I had to set my alarm for 6:30 am and 6:45 am. Mom couldn’t eat and we had already discussed eating breakfast afterwards. So in solidarity I fasted with her only taking my first pill as she also did. I wanted to sleep in until 6:45, but then I thought that only gave…
