Serious Boredom

Nothing like passing the time by taking pictures of yourself. Ok, I was really bored!

Lets All Get Involved

The Adtran Trainers (pictured), aka Train Gang, and I walked in a 5k last weekend. The preliminary number raised here locally was 80k. I sure hope it helps us get closer to a cure. Several good friends of mine have been told that a cure is close... for thirty years! It is time to get busy! Please support your local efforts!!!

Hedgeapples

I have the strangest tree in the backyard. From research, I have determined that it is a Hedge apple. It is not native here. The "fruit" is really odd. It is about the size of a baseball and very dense. It would seriously hurt to be conked on the head with one of these as it falls off of the tree. The fruit is not edible but people put them in their garage to keep away spiders. Not sure about that being true, so, Cletus has buckets of them in the garage.

Doing better

Well, I must be doing better...I'm getting a little stir crazy! I am not much for being idle and lounging around anyway. And I have now seen enough daytime tv to last me a lifetime! Yikes!! My follow up appointment with the doc is Friday, so fingers crossed, that will be my freedom date too! I spoke to my boss yesterday. Another lady she knows had this surgery and has been under house arrest for four weeks!! But she had the other kind of surgery with the stitches and staples. Thankfully, I was a good candidate for the robotic-assisted. I'm sore from being upside down for two hours...but other than that no complaints. I'm counting the minutes until I feel 100%!!

Simple Pleasures

Amazing how the simplist things can make you happy: a hot shower, a nap on cool crisp sheets, sitting in the warm sunshine admiring the changing leaves, and clean, comfy clothes. Ahhh. I feel much better!

Superior Genetics?

Well, my Dad maybe right afterall. He thinks that we have superior genes. Hmmm. Not so sure. It might be that I am just a "tough old bird". I seriously cannot believe that I had major surgery just two days ago. I am still pain and pain med free...the prescriptions never got filled! The bod is an amazing creation!

Well Worth it...so far

Well I survived the hysterectomy surgery..whoo hoo! and I'm back home (yippee) without pain pills. This robotic surgery is great. I hardly feel like I've had surgery!! Don't worry I still plan to take it easy. I get reminded every time a have to sneeze or cough or have to get up that I'm still recovering. Again thanks for the prayers for me and the fam. Poor Cletus looks wiped; maybe since I'm home, he will get a good nights sleep. And Buddy looks worried. He keeps coming in and hugging me. Being Autistic, it is hard to know what Buddy is thinking. But I think that I'm safe in saying that everyone is glad to get me back home (including me).

HBTM

Happy Birthday (for two weeks) to Me! I have had a great year and so instead of counting sheep, I am counting my blessings. I would like to take this opportunity to thank several of my blessings: my friends! They laugh and cry and share and minister...we have had such fun this year. I'm proud to be their friend. THANK YOU!

Mason's Thought of the Week

One of my co-workers is a very deep thinker. He always leaves me in a "huh-what" state. I guess that must be because I am not a deep thinker. So I decided that I would start sharing "Mason's Thought of the Week". This weeks treasure is a Chinese proverb (maybe): IF YOU SIT BY THE RIVER LONG ENOUGH, THE BODY OF YOUR ENEMY WILL FLOAT BY.
