Story of a Close Call
We enjoyed having one of our neighbors over this afternoon. Before they moved here last year, they went to their final doctors’ visits. The husband saw his cardiologist who found that his heart was basically in distress and he had emergency surgery. He and his wife talked about the surgery in detail. The doctors basically […]
Better Beater
Last month, my mom woke in the middle of the night with pains in her chest. We ended up spending a couple of hours in the emergency room, but they didn’t find any problems, so we went home. Luckily, the pains never returned. We have been following up with her doctors, including having an echo […]
Appendix Out
My son who lives out east called me early this morning, which is unusual – especially during the work week. He told me that he had been having severe pains in his abdomen. He said he was pretty sure it was appendicitis. He went to the local emergicare and had a catscan that confirmed his […]
Dance of Difficulties
I had dinner with some friends tonight. One woman told us about a dance recital that she attended that her granddaughter was in. There was a dance portraying the life (so far) of a young woman. He family faced many challenges during the past few years. One of the biggest was when she received the […]
Remembering Progress
My mom has been getting dizzy on and off again. We were happy to be able to get into our favorite physical therapist who has helped her in the past. The last time we saw her was about a year ago. At that time, my mom had come out of the hospital and rehab. The […]

Sleeping Day
Over the past couple of days, I have been making and taste testing lots of goodies. It was bound to catch up with me as I don’t do well with too much sugar. Today the upset stomach and migraine set in. This morning’s meteorologist said it would be a good napping day as the thick […]
Forgiveness Wins
Today I read a beautiful story about a young man who wanted to start a singing career, so he moved to Tennessee. Right after that, he was hit by a car and left paralyzed. He thought his life was over along with the career he wanted so badly. However, he forgave the person who hit […]
Appreciating Vision
When I was young, my eyesight was terrible. So bad, that I couldn’t even make out the largest letter on the eye chart. I dealt with glasses for years, then moved to contacts. As a young adult, I used to go camping and to lakes during most of the summer. Having contacts made it difficult […]
Miraculous Vision
Since my mom had her first cataract surgery last week, the results have been questionable. Between all the eye drops, she has been trying to see assorted things at different distances. While there has seemed to be some improvement in clarity, it has still been blurry. Tonight after I finished putting in the drops, she […]
