• 5 Months… Later

  Wow! So a lot has happened since the day before my surgery just five long months ago. I thought I would be posting in the interim but things were much more different and difficult for this 3rd surgery dealing with my long ulna bone in my left arm. This was not quite expected, because believe…

  March 10, 2025 Yes it has been a little while since I have posted. Several things have been going on. Honestly, I have felt a little lost for a bit already this year. It took three phone calls in order to get on the schedule. However, I have heard that the timing is everything. Lately…

• A Beautiful Morning

  My weather app says it’s 40 degrees right now it’s supposed to be partly cloudy. However, the sun is out and I can see the sun’s rays filling the sky. It’s a beautiful site for today, even though I am still not exactly awake. For some personal reasons I didn’t get very much sleep last…

• 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…

• 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…

• God Is In The Details

  All week long I have been intently observing three different scenarios. The first being my younger brother. Then the news that nearly brought me to tears with Daniel Penny’s acquittal. The last one didn’t hit me until Monday night, but I knew the date was coming fast. Monday the not guilty verdict was what America…

• Sittin In… The ER Lobby

  After three days of having to be at the Greene County General Hospital; I was not expecting this one. Even Moms five minute x-rays didn’t require being there more than maybe twenty minutes all in all. Most of that was waiting and waiting to register more than the actually x-rays. There was a moment on…

  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…

  Goodness, I was surprised today. Somehow during a nap I heard I had a phone call. For some reason both the Podiatrist’s office and the Hospital keep calling me through Mom’s phone number. I don’t quite understand when I have given them my number. The good news is that tomorrow will be my pre-session testing,…

• Personal Thoughts

  The last week has been fairly epic hasn’t it? Not only with the election results a week ago, but personally in my family. Mom’s sugar number was high and that sent her into the ER due to complex insurance problems. Then this weekend we both somehow ended up being somewhat sick. My problem was eating…
