Ryan, remember the coke in the face story? Well, this is me sitting on the ground yesterday after I hit a pot hole and twisted my ankle. I had a mug full of diet coke and the lid flew off and all the diet coke went into my own face just before I did [...]
Do you recognize those beautiful eyes, puffy cheeks and gigantic nose? Hopefully the new allergy medicine will help. This picture was yesterday. Today it was swollen from the middle of my forehead down below both eyes … and the old snozolla was even broader … and it all hurt! I took a different kind of [...]
I took type in high school. I typed 65 words a minute on a manual typewriter with no errors. That was high enough to get me an “A” so it must have been a good speed. Right after I finished that class they quit teaching on manual typewriters and moved to the new electric [...]
“The sky is falling, the sky is falling!” Not to worry. It’s not the sky. It’s our roof. Apparently our home was built with green, knotted lumber way back when, and over the years that lumber dried out and twisted and caused cracks in the walls and ceilings. The latest thing we found is that [...]
I’ve been thinking about “patients” and “patience”, both of which describe my man at the present time. Patience is definitely his virtue and not mine. Oh, I am sort of patient. It just doesn’t always show, because I like to whine about things and be a little bit annoying while I am being patient. I [...]
I’m sitting here in Lynn’s hospital room with my warm sweatshirt on thinking I should have brought ear muffs. This is night two after his 2nd total knee replacement. Lynn had a pretty high fever for a long time last night … I think they said 104 degrees once it was translated from 39.something into [...]
Recovering from surgery seems to have its way of getting worse before it gets better. Lynn’s is no exception. Today, his second day home from the hospital, his leg is swollen and angry he has been miserable. It started around 3:00 AM when he suddenly awakened from a sound sleep and realized he’d taken the [...]
My poor man says this whole experience of getting a total knee replacement is “Less than fun” and he’s not looking forward to having the other leg done in two weeks. The link to total knee replacement is a virtual surgery and gives you the role of being the surgeon. It’s kind of interesting. It [...]
Okay, so there has to be a few funny things … even with Lynn’s full knee replacement surgery today. How about the first words out of his mouth this morning before we came in to the hospital? “It’s a miracle! I’m pain free! Look, I can walk!” Or the lady who was preparing my lunch [...]
I am starting to see the light of day. Literally! These new medications are doing things I didn’t expect of them. I am feeling like going to bed before midnight and I am feeling like getting up before 8:30 in the morning. I’ve been sleeping like a baby! You’re talking to someone who has NEVER [...]
