    Monthly Weigh In Dec. 2025

    I had no expectations, didn’t care too much. Surprise, 104.4. Encouraging, but honestly I haven’t had much of an appetite. When asked at the doctor’s office I said I was 153. That describes me as overweight. Discouraging.

  • Hospital Test Results

    The other day I took the time to read the result of all the tests that were done when I was in the hospital. MRI’S MR Cervical Spine w/wo Contrast- no active lesions. C-2, C-3: moderate right foranimal stenosis. C-3,C-4: severe bilateral foranimal stenosis. Posterior spondylosis complex. C-4, C-5: same as above with disc protrusion…

  • Still Sick

    It’s been two weeks since I was discharged from the hospital. My first night home I was trying to get to the living room couch, about 8 normal steps (I was sleeping there because Peter was coughing like crazy). I immediately felt like I wouldn’t make it. I had three steps back to where I…

  • Passport Photo

    It’s still Thanksgiving and after dinner we took a ride to Wrightsville Beach. I saw a CVS that was open and asked if we could stop so I can get a passport photo. I’ve needed to do this for over a year. I wanted to do it today because I had makeup on and my…

  • Happy Thanksgiving

    We’re in the house in NC, just the two of us. I was on a mission. I still am experiencing a lot of pain from my fall. I think I either cracked or broke a rib. Pete thinks I should have it checked out but I’ve had enough doctors and tests, besides they can’t do…

  • Flu, Type A = Hospitalization

    On Thursday, November 7 Peter came home with a wicked cough. He didn’t go to the doctor. On Monday he had to drive to Savannah, GA for work. I woke up that morning with a cough. When I woke up on Tuesday, November 11, I could not move my legs at all and I was…

  • Trigeminal Neuralgia, …..again

    I’m afraid to move my head. As I was getting ready for my last Friday at the garden, it started. I was brushing my teeth and that stabbing intense pain shooting through my gums up thru my face. This is not the small tweaks of pain that’s been happening the past few days but it’s…

  • Monthly Weigh In – Nov. 2025 and Chat GPT

    This month I gained one pound, 146.2. The good news is I used Artificial Intelligence, (Chat GPT) for the first time. I downloaded the app and typed what I wanted to accomplish. I entered my age, weight, how much I would like to lose, the fact that I am mainly sededentary and wanted a diet…

  • Fear

    I am overcome with fear. I went from feeling good and having confidence with what I’m doing with this website. On the MacBook Air I am using Elementor for adding recent pictures. Then I try to look at the post on my iPad and there’s no photos, same with my laptop. I was so confident…

  • Word Press Followup

    So Friday, October 18 was my final day to get “professional” help. One day I tried to call the number and there was a message that due to an earthquake, service is interrupted. That goes along with what I thought about their professional help being outsourced. Anyway I didn’t take advantage of the help nearly…
