Life & Family

Just some updates… Buddy recovered from mono and went back to work! I mean, I’m sure he’s not 100%, but he has been coping. The next part of this post is about the fact that we seem to have another member in our already large household: my Aunt Sharon. It’s actually been a bit of a roller […]

It’s been a while again since my last post. I will start off not with me, but with my son. Buddy has been feeling ill, lately. Over the past week or so, he complained about a sore throat. Eventually, this sent him to the doctor. During the appointment, they diagnosed him with strep throat, and

(For previous posts on this subject, see part 1, part 2, and part 3.) Well, it has officially been almost 7 weeks since I have been sick. Most of that time has been spent in bed, as I am too weak to walk around. The newest set of bloodwork did not show anything, so I

It has now been 5 1/2 weeks, and the sickness continues. (More previous info in part 1 and part 2.)  Shortly after my last post on August 16, I ended up in the emergency room later that evening with horrible abdominal pain.

The last couple of months just flew by, and I realize I have not posted since May. Yes, other posts have found their way here, but I know many are reading this for the medical updates. The knees have still been an issue. (See previous update for background info: http://www.tlkpride.org/knarrlysblog/life-updates/) I followed the rules for the

There has been a really long gap in my updates postings. Other stuff has, of course, been updated in the meantime, but I’m embarrassed to not have posted life stuff since February. My semi-annual oncologist check-up came and went and was mostly uneventful. My cancer is still in remission. Of course, that brings much needed

Though I have posted other things in between, it has been a month since posting my last real update. I did finally get my disability, and the kids were approved, as well. Since both Buddy and Sierra have major medical issues, they were both flagged as “disabled”. This paves the way if they wish to

Well, as usual, the holidays have been hectic. Before I even realize it, time has gotten away from me. But, I wanted to at least put a more recent update on everyone. Buddy: His recovery is going well. He has already returned to school. There have been a few bad days where he was too sore
