We’ve just returned Monday evening from five days away and were so happy to be home, you know? I’ll show you some photos below of some of the reasons we so love coming home.
We saw the neurosurgeon in Birmingham (a gorgeous city, by the way – at least the south side where we were) on [...]

I have gained a new respect for the positive aspects of the internet for Christians as I have gone through this latest health battle with the pinched nerve in my left shoulder blade area from my totally messed up neck. You all have been a huge part of this thinking on my part. I’ll talk [...]

Most of you probably haven’t noticed, but I’m working on a new tab at the top of my page here I call "A Home Complete." I’ve not felt well enough to size many of the photos yet, nor do I feel well enough today to continue with the cliffhanger from last time on "The Great [...]

Sorry (Greg) I couldn’t get back to you guys yesterday evening after going for the second time to try to get four MRI pictures. I was wiped out by the time we got home (the place is about an hour away and we’d made a couple of stops coming home – one to eat), took [...]

Severe pain continues from this pinched nerve – five weeks, now. Some days overwhelming, others a bit better. Physical therapy helps little. Traction helps some. Heat helps some.
Friday evening and Saturday were good days, but Sunday horrific, again. Today is really bad right now, despite physical therapy this morning, traction once (I’ve got to wait [...]

Digression #3 – Thinking of Moms on Mother’s Day Weekend
One can hardly write about The Great Road Trip of 2009 involving one’s self, younger sister and mother without talking a bit more about one’s mom over Mother’s Day Weekend, now can one.
This digression was going to happen, anyway, so what more perfect time?
The thing [...]

I’m switchin’ ears.
At least, I’m trying to.
You see . . . you hear . . . the visit to medical specialist #18 in my life – the ENT doctor (plus audiologist) Friday resulted in the finding of the newest and latest diabetically caused health problem, which is that I have a serious hearing impairment. As [...]

I need a Joseph. An interpreter of dreams. Any volunteers?
I’ve had dreams for years and years – often – in which I’m in some sort of stressful situation and am trying to call home and/or for help. Here’s the kicker. I can never properly dial (well, these days, punch) the numbers to connect and [...]

The news from my doctor wasn’t good yesterday, so today I bought geraniums.
I’ve only had the traditional bright red geraniums once before several years ago and I came to love them dearly. My plants grew and grew and bloomed and bloomed all through the spring, summer and long after. By mid-winter that year, none [...]

I’m in a BIG mess today.
Actually, I’ve been in a mess all week since turning over a new year’s page in my life on Monday. I felt bad all day (another year older, comes to mind) and took a long nap Monday afternoon in Tom’s recliner. No big celebration for us for my birthday, [...]
