Week 153! I’m sorry I’m getting this out late. I was able to attend my youngest granddaughter’s orchestra concert! I’m always amazed at what these kids can do with those beautiful instruments. In case you didn’t know, an orchestra (at least at her high school) is made up of stringed instruments. More than that, I’m …
Week 152! It’s been quite nice here in Central Indiana the last few days. Most of my perennials are showing signs of life. The hump is still rather empty. I’m hoping some of the cosmos seeds that dropped will germinate and grow. I do have one little sprout coming up from a rogue seed from …
Week 151! Wow! I spent all day today thinking it was Wednesday even though I know tomorrow is Friday! How’s that for being confuzzled? I had a wonderful time at the art museum today. I’m in a group that focuses on European art, and we had two docents present on different pieces of art. I’m …
Week 150! How is it in your part of the world? My creeping phlox are beginning to bloom. Somehow or other, I planted three different colors in the same place. Luckily, I like purple so it’s OK. The grass is getting so green. My bonus son mowed it for us this past weekend. Of course, …
Week 149! Life goes on here at Haus der Mitte. I’ve become quite adept at administering Nigel’s antibiotics. He’s gotten really good at transferring from the chair to the wheelchair, the wheelchair to the toilet, the toilet to the wheelchair. The hardest part for him is getting in and out of bed because he can’t …
Weeks 148! It’s been a quiet week here at Haus der Mitte. But, I’ll take quiet over hospital any day of the week. Nigel and I have fallen into a routine, and life just looks a little different than it used to. My boys have been rockstars, coming to fill in for me when I …
Weeks 147! Well, my friends, I’m writing this to you from Nigel’s hospital room. Things didn’t go quite the way we thought they were going to go. Since I feel like y’all are both my friends and therapists, I’m going to share just the nuts and bolts. About two weeks ago, NIgel’s surgeon withdrew some …
Weeks 146! Well, Nigel seems to have passed all of his tests so we are just waiting for next week to come and go. I am anxious, hopeful, a bundle of nerves, and feeling all kinds of ways. I honestly don’t know what we will do if this revision is unsuccessful. I am not going …
Weeks 145! I hope all of you have had a wonderful week. If you read my post yesterday, you know life is about to get very busy for Nigel and me. He has a couple of pre-op appointments before the big day on March 10th. He just told me he will have physical therapy three …
Weeks 142 & 143! I am so sorry for missing last week. I thought I had published it, but when I did my SIA post, I discovered I hadn’t. So, I will combine last week with this week! The weather here is gorgeous. I’m writing this on Wednesday evening. As of this evening, it feels …
