• Words … and Their Effects

  Last week one of the reasons why it was busy and emotional was because it was my family’s first time back in therapy. Real therapy at Catherine Hamilton albeit I am sure some patients may not be sure the quantifier ‘real’ is absolutely true. Okay maybe that person who is not the patient is me.…

• A Crazy Week

  Really since last Friday night everything has been go, go, go, go and go. Early that Friday I put in an application. There were two positions I was eyeing, but one ultimately was selected over the other to apply. Thankfully I had that done before my niece and a couple of her cousins all of…

• Therapy…

  My therapy orders have been a blessing. I have been wanting to spend more time practicing, but life has gotten in the way. Plus the many surgeries I’ve had. Music in general is fun, but Christmas music is special. I play it all the way through the year sometimes just to practice it or get…

• Graduated… Again

  When my surgeon saw me today she said I had graduated. Today marks 5 weeks after what now is my last surgery. God-willing, I am not looking for any other congenital anomalies to come out of nowhere again. Although I am grateful for my talented surgeon and her deft touch left me with scars that…

• Queasy

  Yesterday I actually got to watch as my Therapist took apart my bandage. I don’t think I have really observed it due to the angles of the surgical site on my arm. This time though I saw the bandage come undone and then the boatloads of gauze keeping my surgical site dry and clean. Still…

• Thoughts of Frustration

  This afternoon they were all stomped into submission. Another weekend of being stomped on literally by bullies had been quite tiresome. This is what happens when you give them half an inch then they want to dictate to you the terms of your submission. Today though, was a good day for a practice session. It…

• Living In Limbo

  Still no news on a surgery date for my wrist. I am trying to not let it take away my joy and my purpose because I do feel like I am living in a state of limbo. Even today one of the anchors that gave me a social life and some foot comfort came to…

• 2025 Versus 2020

  Goodness… I have been without words for much of the past 3 to 4 weeks. Not just the busy atmosphere of the Seasons either. I enjoy writing when I have something I believe I can share with others, but lately everything in my life feels complicated. The Christmas of 2019 was amazing even though we…

• Awkward Phases

  The past two weeks have been so crazy busy and yet slowly surreal. Both Christmas and New Years Eve are officially over. This is where I begin my annual introspection as I get ever so close day by day to January 20th. As of today after nearly a three month stint in therapy for my…

• The Timing of Pain…

  While preparing for the past weekend familiar pains have resurfaced. Back in October I had a shot in my wrist. It took a good while for that shot to finally dissolve. Thankfully. I only wish it had lasted a bit longer. I am grateful I was able to do both Cantata’s and didn’t realize how…
