30 Days Of Thanksgiving (Days 1 through 6)

I am getting a late start on my 30 Days Of Thanksgiving posts thanks to a Hurricane named Sandy so it's time to play a little bit of catching up.  This has become an annual tradition for me here on Diggin' Around that I look forward to each year and it's ever so much more meaningful this year after seeing the utter & heartbreaking devastation locally & state-wide because of Sandy.  I invite you, regardless of your location, affected by Sandy or not, to spend this month appreciating your blessings, whatever they are, big and small, with me daily.

November 6th - I'm thankful for the right to Vote which so many around the world don't have and thankful Hubbs & I have made a point of going to vote together since we've been a couple. I used to look forward to voting when I was younger, was even excited to do so. As I get older, it weighs on me more & more. But, I gladly & with appreciation exercise my right to vote (in every election from local to national).

November 5th: I was so thankful my doctor opened one of his offices to make sure those of us who needed iv's, injections & prescription renewals got them, especially with the nor'easter coming.


November 4th: Thankful to do what ever I personally can do to help, though it may seem small to me or not enough in the scheme of things, it's what I can do and I know it'll help someone.


November 1st, 2nd & 3rd: So so thankful for faring batter with Sandy than we did Irene & counting all of our blessings (that's a given for every day through the rest of this month) and so thankful that all of our family & friends are okay (in spite of some suffering awful losses).

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!

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist . For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (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...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
