Sabatical Update

I am finally home, arrived later Friday evening. I still have the kidney drain in because my left kidney is still stick and on the mend so I am home bound for 2 weeks until I go back for them to check my kidney out down in Radiology, make sure it's functioning properly and then they'll remove the drain. They've decided to leave that tiny kidney stone alone because it is so microscopic and another procedure would only put me at risk for exposure to more bacteria and none of my doctor's want that. More home rest and antibiotics to follow that as well and possibly some physical therapy to help regain my strength. Wow, by the time all of this is 'over,' July will be gone!

Leaving the hospital and coming home was a little overwhelming, a feeling I've had before after leaving the hospital and it's difficult to explain. I'm a little afraid being home (after what I've been through this last week I'm surprised I'm not in a terrified stupor, lol!) and I'm prone to crying at the drop of a dime, but I'm so glad to be home!

I'm also so thankful for my husband, mom and friends! You've all been so wonderful throughout this with me and your loving support means more than I could ever begin to tell you so I want to thank you. Words across the internet or to a cell phone are the same to me as being wrapped in a comforting hug. Thank you!

I'm sure that it was a little scary to go home and be away from all of the medical care, particularly since you knew that you might not recognize if things got worse. So glad that you were able to get home and are on the mend!

Welcome home Jo! I had no idea and wondered what a couple of your FB messages meant. You have my prayers. Let the tears come when you feel them. At least I found that to be easier in the long run. So happy that you are safe. Hugs and kisses, Adrienne

Hey Jo, WOW!! Glad to see you are out of the hospital! So sorry to hear you have been ill. I obviously am behind on my blogs and such so I had no idea. I hope you mend quickly and get back to your normal chipper self. Im glad your hubby is so smart and has that special sense to know when something is not right. Kudos to him!! Most men are clueless about stuff like that. Keep us posted.

YAY I'm so relieved you are home. I'm so worried about you all weekend, so I'm glad to see you posted an update. I'm praying you'll mend and be back on your feet soon.
Thanks so much gals! I'm so very glad to be home too and I am so very thankful to have all of you in my life and for your loving support throughout this ordeal, it means the world to me and is helping me more than you can know! Thank you!

And yes deb, thank God Hubbs acted when he did. He's a great man and I thank God for him every day. He's saved my life now in more than one way. He's amazing!

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
