Not much new on the home front when it comes to Nigel’s recovery. He had another appointment on Monday. The surgeon, quite frankly, is beginning to worry me. Maybe he’s just thinking out loud, but he’s confused about the images he sees on the x-rays. He did say the fracture is healing, but where the …
Number #21 Ya know, I really thought October would be a month of wonderful things. Instead, it was a bit like what Jack does right after his dinner…one big hunk of steaming you know what. I mean, it was my birthday month, but nothing really special happened. I don’t know why I set myself up …
Number #20 I thought about making this 20 & 21, but I decided it’s really only #20. It’s been a long time since I last did one of these. Luckily, I can always look back at my old post to figure it all out again. Nigel continues to toggle between his walker and his wheelchair. …

Love… As I said in a recent post, I’ve been thinking a lot about my parents. When my dad died in 1974, he was only 45 years old. While Mom and I knew death was an inevitability, Dad thought (or pretended to think) he was getting better. He often spoke of the trips he and …
A Nigel update… Nigel had a doctor’s appointment this morning, and the x-rays revealed his implant has moved a few millimeters. They are concerned about that so he’s to only put 25% of his weight on the leg he’d been told to put his entire weight on for these last two weeks. They wouldn’t let …
I am going to be that person and say, “I can’t believe it’s the 10th of August already!” The last couple of weeks have been sooooo slow and yet have gone quite quickly…if that can even happen. Well, it can’t really happen unless quantum something or other is involved, right? Anyhoo, Nigel got a really …
An update… I’m sure you’ll get tired of these updates, but since Nigel is a large part of my life and blog, I’m going to keep you posted! He has weaned off of the pain meds which has led to a bit of an increase in pain. You would not believe the bruising. They told …
Number #19 This is going to be a short one, my friends. I don’t think I accomplished much beyond scheduling appointments, driving Nigel here and there, and worrying. Last month, I thought he’d have at least one new hip, but he won’t until next week. He’s looking forward to the surgery, but some anxiety is …
