My missing posts have been due in part to malaise, sleep deprivation, a busy schedule, and laziness. The trip to Pittsburgh proved all for naught as the ordered trache was the wrong size. We returned after only one days visit, a bit disgusted with the personnel in the office for causing an eight hour trip [...]
It has been a much different week than I may have surmised at the onset. The rains have given way to blistering humidity and temperatures far above the norm. It’s hotter than Tipper after she heard that Al had fondled a global warming junkie in an elevator. Perhaps the result of the humidity, maybe lingering [...]
Glamping: glamourous camping; combining the splendor of the great outdoors with the comfort of a top-tier hotel. I suffer from a disease called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). I’ve had this for as long as I’ve known. The symptoms are depression brought on by a lack of exposure to natural sunlight. This is blamed on the [...]
My hiatus from posting here is not all my doing. The WiFi at our site has been down for four days. The Verizon wireless stick is to no avail here deep in the woods of Eastern Pennsylvania. It’s amazing to me. Reception was fine in the deserts and mountains of Arizona, the Badlands of the [...]
Note: This post may seem about me and my personal situation. I hope you don’t take it that way. I’m not so egotistical or vain in thought that I would consider or entertain empathy. My reasoning behind this post is that many readers out there are experiencing cancer, brain issues, or have family members that [...]
On Monday we played golf as it would be the last time this week. As we were teeing off on #3 we looked over and saw Charles and Annette, fellow work campers just a hole behind us. Chuck was playing alone while Annette, hampered by a bad wheel, manned the driving. As we were waiting [...]
A blip on the radar of our lives today. I mentioned earlier that Robin has been having wheezing and deep coughs ever since last March. Our family physician ordered a breathing test which she passed with flying colors. Therein lies the concern. Thoughts turn to the worst case scenario, that’s just how we are. A [...]
In the last twelve days we’ve celebrated three birthdays. Robin was first, followed by Chris and now today Jay turns 55. I have never eaten so much cake in such a short time in my life. Add to that Chris’ penchant for buying snacks and goodies to keep us company at night while we are [...]
A visit to my cancer surgeon is always bittersweet. I love the guy and the interaction I have with him is special. However, the manner in which he scopes my throat and trache is unnerving at the least. Leslie squirts a numbing liquid up my nostril several times to get me ready. Shortly thereafter, Dr. [...]
The first thing we did when landing here outside of Phoenix was to find a gym. Too many miles behind the wheel and a sedentary life the last two weeks has made me feel stiff and stuffed. We scoped a few out but just on a notion we wanted to check out an upscale facility [...]
