Ugh, rash!

I go back to the doctor tomorrow, instead of waiting until Tuesday, because my whole front from neck to hips is covered with either solid red (shot sites) or rash. Ugh.

Our Memorial Day Weekend

We left here Wednesday about 12:30pm. With plenty of stops and all, we finally got in near 6. We had beautiful weather, only a little rain (and that a gentle rain, not storms and wind). It got a bit cool at times, but that’s to be expected in the mountains near a creek! The kids spent most of their time […]

I remembered what I wanted to write.

Last night in church, we sang “Honey in the Rock.” It amazes me sometimes how certain things bring up very vivid memories. I can never sing that song without remembering a friend (well, at the time I considered him a friend, but I’ve lost touch and, with how things were and such, I somehow doubt he’d have any interest whatsoever […]

Today

Robby had a migraine, so he stayed home today. It was kind of nice to be driving again. Although, driving didn’t really lessen the movement-sickness effect, so thankfully it isn’t very far from home to church. There was something else I wanted to write here, but I cannot remember what it was. I hate it when that happens!

Yesterday

Let’s see. Where to start! Well, we went to the doctor appt, and everything looks good and I have an ultrasound appointment Tuesday. We got to our friends’ house (where my children were) and when I walked down the hall to use her bathroom, I got hit with a horrible headache, which never DID go away yesterday. Thankfully, it was […]

Update

I’m walking again! That’s such a nice thing to be able to do. I had an appointment with a “care coordinator” this morning to fill out paperwork, and I have an OB appointment tomorrow morning. I’m very tired from getting up at 6am; those of you who know me, know that I am NOT used to getting up that early!

05/05/05 Update

Fifth day of the fifth month of the two-thousand-and-fifth year… cool, huh? Ok, so, update. Robby found me a used wheelchair at a thrift store, but I hope I don’t need it. I would if we go much of anywhere, because I still can’t walk far, but I *did* walk to the mailbox at the end of the driveway, and […]

Update

I’m doing a little better, as evidenced by the fact that I’m here – at least briefly. My leg is still swollen, though I think it has started to go down a little, and my sciatic nerve is still pinched, but all-in-all, I feel better. I appreciate the prayers of those who prayed for me through this, and of those […]

Sorry for not updating, but I’ve been in the hospital.

Thankfully, I am home now. First of all, last Thursday (4/21), I may have already mentioned my scare with my leg turning purple and swelling, then going back to normal… I had trouble walking, but was otherwise ok for the next two days. Things went along pretty much normally. Sunday morning, we went to church as usual. I leaned on […]

Had a scare yesterday.

I got up too quickly and walked across the room – fueled by adrenaline – and when it was over, I had done something further to my back that was causing my leg to go numb and turn purple… thankfully the chiropractor fixed it!

We went camping over the weekend.

Overall, it was a very nice trip. The weather was beautiful during the day, and it didn’t rain at all (though one night was quite windy). The only time the cold-at-night was a problem was getting up 2x to potty! My brother showed up about 4/5pm on Friday, and we spent a little time with them but they left about […]

Travelling ramble

I have decided that I dislike tinted windows, and driving after dark. When we are driving, I like to be able to look at the people in other cars, and both of the above foil that effort. (I also dislike mirrored sunglasses for a similar reason – I like being able to see eyes. You miss a lot by not […]

We had a nice trip!

One of our customers sent us to Florida this week! It was very nice. I got to visit with one family whom I had never met in real life before (knew from internet), and also with some friends who recently moved down there. I wrote this to some friends yesterday: We left our other hotel this morning (hungry – despite […]
