I’m going to be doing this challenge I found on Pinterest for the month of August. Fasten your seat belts. You’re probably going to learn more about my illnesses than you want to. Most of these will be pretty short, so I may be double-posting with some other longer posts on some days. Day…
As yet another month of 2016 begins and the summer ebbs on, I am left to reflect. Sorry, it’s just something I do late at night, and it’s late at night here in northeast Ohio. Or actually, really early in the morning. My previous post July-A Month in Review was a reflection on all…
I really can’t believe July is almost over. It’s been a month for the books, that much is true. So let’s review.
The past couple of days, I’ve been having some ups and downs with my umbilical incision.
“…it demands to be felt.” The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green. Fabulous book. Just don’t read it when you’re sitting in the hospital pharmacy on the floor below where kids are actually dying of cancer. Makes it a tad more depressing. But I honestly don’t even know where to start when it…

The “stab wounds,” as they are called in the operative report (I’m actually not kidding) are almost closed,…
Dear Little 💛ribbonrx, This is you, from the future. I know that seems kind of strange, but I wanted to give you this special opportunity, brought to you by an alien known as The Doctor (see that Blue Police Box in the backyard?) to let you know that everything is going to be ok…

Read the story of my surgery in Always A Zebra! Just a short, quick update! So how am I feeling a week post-op? Quite well, actually. You know you had a successful surgery when you are using less pain medication post-op than you were pre-op.?
