A Bit Of Good News On A Monday

I may be able to go back on home iv treatments! Happy Dance! I'll know soon.

Please don't misunderstand, having the treatment at the doctor's office wasn't a horrible experience by any means at all (my doctor and the nurses are wonderful people!), it's a convenience factor; I can't drive after an infusion and therefore someone has to drive me to & from the office whereas here at home, I don't have to worry about inconveniencing anyone (any more than I feel I do normally). When one lives with disease, it's not just an inconvenience & burden on that person, it can be to those around us (even though they love us and say it isn't). Anything I can do 'on my own' and don't need someone else to help me with makes me feel better about being me.

Oh and in weather news, we're going to get hammered by a "Nor'Easter Blizzard" Tuesday night through Wednesday. "So far" are in the 12"-18"s area of the map and looks like we'll get sleet again too. (That's the part I dislike!) It's supposed to be a "very significant storm." We'll see! (Maybe another round on Valentine's Day too).

that's great news. not the snowstorms but your IV at home.

I know what you mean about it burdening others. When my mom was sick and in the hospital for four months it turned our lives upside down. Even though you love someone, it does upset your normal routine. I am sure the people who love you don't mind helping you. Enjoy the snow.

Lol, I knew what you meant! Thanks Brenda!

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) **UPDATED!** This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook

(Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun
