Got up after noon and headed straight for the couch-LOL!Hope is looking for volunteers to throw her duck and ball.Mom hasn't been much fun today.She tried to befriend the kitty on the other side of the fence yesterday.The kitty of course looked at her like she was crazy.She danced and pranced in front of the fence forever it seemed.She came in all dejected from the experience.We may need meds...1 Recommendation10 Comments -

I had a super weekend with my friends from Tennessee!I have a neat downtown area in my city.They took an area that you'd be afraid to walk through at night and revitalized it, creating a beautiful park.People come there in droves now.There are lots of stores and restaurants,ice cream and coffee shops.There's a river running through the heart of the city and they've built a pedestrain ...1 Recommendation14 Comments -

Treatments are over again.Hoping this was a great batch.The day after I can't ever really get it going though, so it's been a day full of rest.Hope is all set to play now so I'd better find some energy!Last night she learned to pick her toys up and put them in her tote.She only did it with a couple of things.She would not put the duck up!LOL!I'm hoping if she did it with those few...21 Comments -

Made this a very easy day.Has made me think about how I longed for these days when I was working.I remember anticipating having the next day off.In restaurant work I seldom had two days off.I couldn't wait to get out of there and to the day that belonged to just me.Usually there was the grass to cut,laundry to catch up,and all the cleaning to do.The afternoon of "my day" came and so...13 Comments -

Thank you all for your support in my last journal.I was in a bad place.When I joined DS a year and a half ago,I came looking for others who were coping with disabilities and the limitations those illnesses brought.Never in a million years did I dream I would find such wonderful people though.Time after time you've been here for me.I'll never forget I had one friend say she would carr...3 Recommendations23 Comments -

An okay day.My PT/INR was still too low today when Marcia drew labs so I have to stay on the Lovenox all weekend.It makes my legs cramp and bruises my stomach.Marcia laughs at my shot giving ability...She bruises me too though!One of those days where I just don't feel good.I have so many problems and a lot of this medicine just makes me feel bad.Blood sugar is still all over the place.If it d...23 Comments -
