While reading some of my new found literature, did you know that Henry Thoreau and his family own one of the most lucrative pencil manufacturers of the time? I did not. Some people could care less – I find it so interesting. So, as you may have read or at least heard of Henry Thoreau […]

Building-up
I figured out what that blood-clotting drug is – and I am happy I went with my route. The difference is that drug stops the ability to clot and what I am doing thins the blood. I find it slightly alarming that there is a “one dose fits all” kind of deal for that drug […]
Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle
I love life, I really do. Grow, expand – believe, push, take a deep breath and think and say some more. Narrow in on your goals; watch, feel the distractions, hindernesses fall not like feathers but big bricks that smash double-pane windows. Not your windows – No. The hindernesses. I love school. I love this […]
Today
I have listened to John Butler Trio’s “Ocean” thousands of times. I saw them in concert last year and by the end, tears. One of the most endearing books I have ever read is Hey World, Here I Am! by Jean Little. I found it in my local library and decided I could not let go of […]
In Truth

Real
For two nights I have gotten real sleep. Seriously the best thing in the world. I got my PICC out on Tuesday which now leaves for the real healing to begin. IV antibiotics tear your gut apart. I have been on a real good probiotic and eating yogurt once or twice a day – still, […]

I wrote this last night, always a work in progress. I got my Picc out – so happy. I am getting there. Blessings Blessings are often those soft voices you allow yourself to say – in an open and closed space for only you to hear. In hope against hope, for the message you […]
Airlife for Life
This schedule is tight and a little tough. I am up late every night. I am ready to be done with IVs, but only if it is the right time. I have an f/u appointment with Children’s again this week. They have been extremely thorough and kind. I emailed my doc in MN to give […]
Bolt
I had a very busy day yesterday. Today I am taking the world in. So – one fine day in the hospitable, a nurse aide comes into my room and asks to take my vitals. Sure, of course. I just got back from my walk. This walk was where I moved my IV monitors onto […]
