end of the week

May 30, 2009 – 1:34 pm

What a long week this has been. We got Mom to the hospital last Sunday with not too much trouble. She was a little in and out about understanding where she was going and why. Still, I’ve been pretty pleased with what they’ve been doing. They got her off the drugs we don’t like and [...]

on practicing what I preach

May 27, 2009 – 1:04 am

“I believe it is essential that you become a loving and tolerant friend to yourself. Do you act as a sheltering tree in your own life? Take a moment to think about how you treat your friends. Do you express the same kindness and consideration toward yourself? Many of us hold a deep-rooted belief that [...]

terribly embarrassing moments

May 25, 2009 – 6:51 pm

Last night something, I don’t remember what at the moment, triggered the memory of a Terribly Embarrassing Moment from childhood. I don’t even recall what memory it was, now, but last night I felt the abject humiliation of the person who does something foolish in front of others – and who may have had some [...]

another band lesson

May 25, 2009 – 11:54 am

This post may be too much information for those prone to become queasy. Feel free to stop reading now. Today I experienced a couple of those things that I keep hearing about from other lap-banders. Sliming and productive burping. Neither one is especially fun. Sliming occurs when a piece of food is stuck in the [...]

Sunday drive

May 24, 2009 – 9:04 pm

We took Mom to the hospital today. It’s been a weird couple days. I’m glad that she didn’t have any longer to think about this than she has. Some days she has been okay with going and understood that the hospital would help straighten out her medications and hopefully improve some things. Other days she [...]

progress update

May 21, 2009 – 6:35 pm

Last week, for the first time, I walked into rehab using my snazzy new pink walker. I must say, that walker gets lots of positive comments. Everyone seems to think that it’s extra special since it’s pink instead of the more usual blue or black – or plain boring aluminum that the old walkers were. [...]

It seems that an important part of growing tomatoes is sitting out on the patio in the sun watching them grow. Or, at this point, watching them not die. I’m always a little worried about my seedlings when we get to the transplanting stage. I’ve put some in traditional pots and some in these very [...]

when you’re ready to listen

May 17, 2009 – 7:19 pm

Sometimes, the things you need to hear pop up at just the right time. We’ve all had it happen, the universe works in such a way as to bring that message to you at the right moment. I’ve been quiet this week. How often can I write about the same old struggles – which still [...]
