Let’s Hear it for the Boy
A little over two years ago, a friend of mine almost lost her mother to an illness. It was actually her dog that alerted her to the seriousness of the situation. Luckily, she pulled through. Shortly after that, my friend’s dog had to have emergency surgery as his intestines flipped. The vet didn’t give the […]
Family Care
Two years ago, my son had surgery on his back to relieve the pressure from a bulging disc. At that time, the doctor saw that the disc just above was showing the same problem. He figured he would see my son back again in a few months. My son made it as long as he […]
Walking
My daughter in law had her appointment with her surgeon today. He was very pleased with the progress and healing from her ankle surgery several weeks ago. He traded her stiff boot for a fancy lace up brace. And he encouraged her to try walking now without a cane or any assistance device. She took […]
Up On Her Feet

I have a sturdy chain that holds a crucifix, a Miraculous Medal, St. Michael the Archangel, and the Guardian angel. Also, after my mom died, […]
Gotta Get Glasses
Over thirty years ago, I had surgery done on my eyes to correct my vision. This was even before the laser surgery. I was so happy with the results and have been seeing clearly for years. It was such a blessing. As was expected, I have been wearing reading glasses for a few years now […]
Successful Surgery
Our neighbor has been struggling for several weeks now with a severe intestinal infection. She was in the hospital for several days, then sent home to try to get in better shape to have surgery. A couple days ago when I opened the garage, I was surprised to see an ambulance. Our friend was on […]
Thoughtful Docs
The other day I sent messages to a couple of my mom’s doctors to let them know she had passed away. Yesterday her most recent primary care doctor called me to offer her condolences and check to see how I was doing. Today we received a hand written note from the cardiologist who cared for […]
