As lovely as all the nurses were to me, there's nothing like sleeping in your own bed. Taco Belle was awfully glad to see Mom, and gave me a nice, wet welcome home. She hasn't left my side since ( Read more... )

They're going to do a procedure on me tomorrow that sounds fairly interesting. They think my spine is slowly leaking fluid somewhere, thus causing a low pressure issue on my brain. I tried to tell them that it's just my blonde roots, but that didn't fly. So they're going to take some of my blood tomorrow and put it in the lining of my spine. ( Read more... )

So...here I sit...we've done three sets of MRIs, a CT Scan,and now they're going to do a lumbar puncture to see if my spine is leaking fluid. However, the radioactive isotope that they were going to use is stuck somewhere because the FedEx plane broke down. So I get to stay here and pay for this expensive room for another couple of days. My ( Read more... )

So here I lay...waiting to see what test they're gonna run on me next. I've had bad headaches since Thanksgiving, and over the past couple of weeks, they've become debilitating. They've run a CT Scan and several MRIs, but can't find anything that would be causing it. I've never had a migraine, and it's not a sinus infection. They're talking ( Read more... )

Ok - it's November 8. Last night when we got home from work, "Oh Holy Night" was playing on the radio. For cripes sake people! Halloween is just over, Thanksgiving is several weeks away, and they're already playing Christmas music?! WTF?!! This whole "Christmas Creep" thing is getting entirely out of hand. The retailers had their trees and ( Read more... )

Just sitting here this afternoon, watching the snow, thinking back on the past few weeks. David and I celebrated our 20th anniversary on the 8th. It seems like yesterday my dad was walking with me up that aisle. I had one of the local radio stations dedicate Journey's latest, "After All This Time" to us ( Read more... )

Wow...what a week. Montana has definitely been the right choice for us. Not only do we live in a beautiful little paradise, but I am now part-owner in a great little company. The people I work for have decided to move to Austin (LOL - of all places), and were going to sell the business or shut it down, thus, once again, leaving me out of a job ( Read more... )

Our lives have changed drastically over the past couple of days. Our constant and most loyal companion is gone. Savvy, the most wonderful dog who ever lived, has crossed the rainbow bridge. David is crushed. I'm a wreck. Savvy was a very special member of our family. She was brilliant beyond dog. She was David's hunting partner and Taco ( Read more... )
