Healing
So Far, So Good
A while back, my mom had scheduled an appointment for today with the vascular doctor who is checking her carotid artery. The vascular surgeon who performed mom’s surgery the other day works with the team. She spoke with them and they were able to follow up from the surgery. So, at the appointment that I […]
And She’s Home
When my dad and I got to the hospital this morning, we were greeted by the heart surgeon walking down the hall. He told us again how sorry he was that my mom was going through such trauma and that this complication happens very rarely. He said that my mom was up this morning and […]
Prayers Are Working
My mom’s brother and his wife have been having a very tough time of it. For about a year or so, they have been in and out of the hospital. Just when they are starting to recover from one thing, they have another issue. My uncle was diagnosed with COPD recently and the past few […]
I Am Forgiven
The scripture readings at church today were focused on God’s immense forgiveness. In Luke 7:36—8:3 , Jesus was having a meal with some of the church leaders of the time. A “sinful woman” came in, knowing who Jesus was, and started to wait on him. The owner of the home was appalled that Jesus allowed the woman […]
Done With PT
Well, it has been 4 long months since I wrecked my hips trying to do Zumba. I knew it was a bad idea at the time, but did it anyways. Truth be told, I would have ended up in the same situation at some point along the way. When I started physical therapy, I couldn’t believe how […]
Grocery Store Accomplishment
I needed to go to the grocery store today. I typically do the shopping by myself – especially in the large grocery store – but I had a bit of a headache, so my mom offered to come with me. I accepted. She had made up a menu and we gave her the list of […]
Gift For Bravery
A friend’s little boy has had medical issues from the time he was born. At barely 2 years old, the poor little guy has had surgery on both of his club feet and is going through casting and braces on his legs. Most recently, his family discovered that when he was sleeping, there would be […]
Feeling Good at PT
I have been going to physical therapy for a few weeks now working on rehabbing a hip that I threw out doing Zumba. I am realizing that my body is not what it used to be. There has always been music playing in the background, but I have been so focused on what they are […]
Continued Progress
My mom and I went out shopping today. This does not happen very often and I was glad she was able to go. We got one of those motorized carts for her to drive around. It has been a few months since last time she used one, but she remembered how to work it. As […]
Recovering Chick
My sister and her husband have been spending extra time caring for one of their new chicks. When she arrived and was in the brooder with the rest, she was not eating or drinking and would cry and peep loudly when another chick would bump into her. So they put her in her own box […]
