I did it! I made it a year without falling on my fat old lady ass (or onto any other part of my fat old lady self, for that matter). I don’t know when it starts (because I’m old and can’t remember), but at some point, every year the doctor’s office starts out your appointment…
When I moved to Michigan, I had my doubts about dealing with Michigan winters. I mean, I grew up here and I remember waiting for the school bus in below zero weather. I remember lots of snow – lots and lots of snow. (And of course we walked uphill everywhere – both ways.) And we…
Okay. Y’all didn’t volunteer for this, but doing my blogging has just become a part of my therapy. And sorry, but there is no pay involved for any of us. I have been really missing blogging. In my opinion, everything that happens in my life, good or bad, is a story. And what good are…
3-D as in all three parts of my right knee are fucked up. Shit. Plenty of blame to go around. Going up and down those fucking stairs at Pit and Balcony when I did the Wedding Singer. Being on high dose of prednisone which masked the symptoms of the damage I was doing. Being a…
Went to visit my sister at the nursing home today. They have a fairly advanced system for tagging visitors. You stand in front of a machine that takes your temperature, your photo, asks who you are visiting (unless you’ve been there before, in which case, it uses facial recognition to match you to the patient…
You know what I made for Thanksgiving? Reservations. My sister Linda is in a wheelchair. My sister Linda recently had her hip replacement replaced. For some time, the prosthesis in her hip was shedding bits of metal and her body had an immune response and all hell broke loose in her body – it’s called…
Lest you think the Halloween spirit is not alive and well with me!
Remember when I used to love Prednisone? Well, that was before I found out what big doses over a couple of months can do to you. Let’s see, side effects include: Blurry and double vision, sores in mouth and sore tongue, huge blood glucose swings (350+ to 40 DAILY!!!). runny nose (after eating and any…
Whew. I’m back (at least, for now, because you know how I tend to disappear periodically). It’s been a week since The Wedding Singer (The Musical) closed, and I’m still recovering. Doing a show at 70 is a whole lot different than doing a show at say, 50 or 60 or even 69 (heh-heh). I…
Did you know turkeys whistle? I sure as shit didn’t. Dear husband and I are sitting in our family room, with the door to the sun porch open, and damn, if we didn’t hear somebody whistling in our backyard! Repeatedly! WTF? Husband goes to investigate, and I hear him exclaim, “You have to come see…
