Since 2020 has been so AMAZING, my spouse added his colonoscopy/endoscopy to the list of things to do while in a pandemic. I think I have shared that my spouse has a delightful genetic makeup, so unfortunately these two procedures are part of his health initiative....

I am on the hunt for a little item called hope. Do you remember hope? That ignition of passion. The desire of something unfolding that blankets us with longing. I suppose 2020 hasn't given us a lot of hope. It's there, however, waiting to be uncovered. I have always...

Way back in March, when everyone froze in place in an effort to wait out the bitch called COVID-19, I got into a routine of opening my front door. Now, in "normal" times, I would never have done that because it would give people the illusion they were welcome. I don't...

A little over a week into my 6-weeks of "if you put any weight on your left foot, you're screwed" challenge, I am finding that my brain is reacting in a problem solving mode. I will admit, that in the beginning, I was less than confident. Every time, I had to go to...

Here are a few things that are glaringly obvious as I heal from reconstructive foot surgery. The first is that I am growing extremely confident on my handy scooter. I wiz around the house as if I were on a skateboard. Backing up is a challenge, but I know I will...

First, let me start by saying that being a human Pogo stick was not on my bucket list, yet, here I am. When I saw my mother the other day, she inquired how I came to this point. This is a question that she has asked before, but forgets that we have discussed it...

I am four days into my hostage situation. If I were rating this experience on Yelp, I would give it a solid four star rating. The care has been excellent and I have been able to entertain myself pretty adequately. Yesterday, I took a poll on Facebook to see how many...

Yesterday, I marked "have surgery during a pandemic" off my bucket list. Sure, my bucket list sucks but so does 2020. We arrived at 5:45 A.M. for a 7 A.M. surgery. It was smooth and I even escaped without having my tendon replaced. Now, I am residing in my bed with my...

Tomorrow, as long as I don't test positive for the big "C", I will be having foot reconstruction surgery. Let me just say, that out of all the body parts that I thought I might have reconstructed, around this time in my life, my foot was not one of them. Don't be...
