  • Ball of Confusion

    That’s me. I am even confused as to what to title this post: Decisions, Decisions; Full Mind, Again; Indecicsions. They are all what I’m going through. First I’ll start with the basic dilemma, which I’ve written about before. The future of my marriage. There are two ways this can go. “Should I Stay or Should…

  • Adopting a Dog

    I have been looking to adopt a new baby. It is not an easy process. This time I wanted a small hairy dog that I could carry and only females, (I think male dogs are gross). It’s important for me to have a rescue dog. There are too many that need homes and I think…

  • MRI April 2024

    Last night I had my yearly MRI. This was ordered by Dr. Oh, VCU Neurology in response to my new (google) diagnosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia. He ordered brain and spine, with and without contrast. I made the appointment a month ago and 6:30 in the evening was the soonest I was able to get. I…

  • Monthly Weight In – April 2024

    148.8 lbs. Nothing else to say CORRECTION: 146.8, better but not great

  • Physical Therapy

    I’ve started physical therapy for the first time in 8 years. I didn’t want to but Pete thought it would be a good idea because that way I could get a new wheelchair covered by insurance. I agreed, since my last wheelchair prescribed for me is 30 years old, (still in good shape). I am…

  • I’ve got this feeling….

    there’s something wrong with me…… I say this because for the past 2 to 3 weeks I’ve been burying my brain playing Mahjong for hours at a time so I don’t have to deal with my frustration. Ever since I cannot download my photos from my iphone into my laptop, I have neglected writing new…

  • Threadlift Followup, very rough day

    This morning I had my followup appointment. I haven’t been sleeping well, (what else is new). When I went to bed last night I felt a jolt of pain from the Trigeminal Neuralgia and got up right away to take the medicine. I am so paranoid of moving, laying down, whatever motion that would trigger…

  • Monthly Weigh In – March 2024

    143.2 lbs., thought it would be more.

  • Handicap Bathrooms……Again

    This past weekend I went to Greenfront Furniture, located in Farmville, Virginia. It’s a place that’s well known for their furniture showrooms from manufacturers here in the US and abroad. They are all together in large old brick warehouses dating back to before or around the Civil War, multiple buildings with multiple floors. It’s kind…

  • Selling my Soul

    President’s Day weekend we decided to go to our new home in NC. We left Friday after I got home from the garden. I have to say it is very nice not having to stay at a hotel anymore. Our plan was to go buy a washer and dryer, get some curtain rods and hang…
