Nigel update: Still walking with a walker, but the surgeon gave us a bit of a timeline. We’re looking at a year of recovery because this wasn’t just an ordinary hip replacement. And, you know what? I’m OK with that because we can sort of plan for that. I do know there aren’t any cat …
I don’t like the Fourth of July. There, I said it. As I type this, I’m hoping all the fireworks and whatever have been used up. It rained and stormed on the Fourth, but that didn’t stop people in the neighborhoods around us from shooting off theirs. Legally, they can start the day before and …

Latest update on Nigel: He’s walking, but it’s a struggle. Those muscles are just so weak right now. The good news is the Nurse Practitioner thought he was walking really well. I guess I was expecting a miracle. He’ll get there, though. But, it’s time for 10 on the 10th! I really do need to …
Hey, look at me! I’m actually getting this out early! Welcome to the 10 on the 10th June Preview! I know some of my readers are in the Southern Hemisphere so I wanted them to feel a part of this 10 on the 10th, too. I feel like I used up all my really good …
Ok, so update on Nigel…we’ve got a surgery date…next Monday! I’m hoping that when I post later next week, I’ll be telling you all about how he’s walking! We do know he won’t be walking normally for months simply because his muscles have atrophied in his right leg. But, I have faith we are finally …
Welcome to the May preview of 10 on the 10th! Y’all, I just can’t seem to get it together lately. Granted, there’s a lot on my mind, but I should be able to read my doggone editorial calendar! Anyway, this month is going to be 10 on the 13th! That gives you a few days …
Gosh, it was strange to go back and read last month’s 10 on the 10th! I was so hopeful Nigel’s (and mine) long journey to walk was about to come to fruition. Unfortunately, as most of you know, the revision didn’t take place due to an infection in the joint. I’m hopeful we’ll know more …
Welcome to the April preview of 10 on the 10th! Doesn’t it seem like we just celebrated Valentine’s Day, and now Easter is over? I guess that’s just the nature of things, right? Last year, we talked about diamonds, and as much as I’d love to do that again, we won’t. I think it’s time …
Welcome to the March preview of 10 on the 10th! Last year, I thought I came up with a very clever 10 on the 10th prompt: 10 irrational things you would do. I loved that one. But, I also don’t like to repeat things. Nigel (even though you now know his name is Mike) is …
I always had this problem in high school and college. If I was taking a test and 8 responses were required, I could come up with seven. It didn’t matter how many responses were asked for, I would come up with that number minus one! For this month’s 10 on the 10th, I had no …
