Paranoid Part 2
Within days of getting my bandage off from my hardware removal surgery I began to look for job postings. It’s something I have wanted to do but wanted to wait once I knew about this quick second and final surgery on the way. When I found a very intriguing listing I went for it thinking…

Paranoia Part 1
Thursday. Tendinitis. Nervousness. The March surgery, the initial one on my left arm this year really worked me over. There were two incidents one by complete accident and the other on purpose.

Sunday Morning of the 21st
Once Mom left my room and she and Dad headed towards Sullivan, I tried to go back to sleep. I had at least 3 alarms to make sure I woke up to prepare the Lasagna. Yet I had a heavy heart… I prayed over the situation and that help would be presented and somehow things…

Flowers & Food Create Smiles
Today is a week, since surgery. I’m itchy more than achy like I was at this stage back in March. The heat has been more irritating than anything besides my nausea the last few days. The nausea usually goes away by afternoon the itchiness and heat don’t. Still I’m just feeling blessed that this journey…

Nausea…
Yesterday, I woke up feeling pretty good considering my arm was dead from the clavicle pain bloc on Thursday. Then somehow Friday to Saturday it turned from feeling numb to being like a couple of bricks instead of my arm. It happens slowly until I get worn out from not sitting down and propping it…
