High Pressure
It felt as if it had been a long time since I’ve posted anything and I was going to reassure you that I’m really not ignoring you all, but then I saw that it has only been four days since my last post, which… Continue Reading “High Pressure”
All’s Well That Ends Well
Yesterday morning EJ had an appointment with his doctor to discuss the results of the MRI. We were both hoping and dreading learning the results. The good news is that EJ does NOT have anything like a Hydrocephalus or a brain tumor. Instead, he has… Continue Reading “All’s Well That Ends Well”
Wibbly Wobbly
I’ve had two sessions this week with my occupational therapist to try to get more mobility in my injured hand. My sessions are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. The route to the OT takes us past the Bay, which is very beautiful. The… Continue Reading “Wibbly Wobbly”

Fennel in the Fire
JJ was supposed to get a full body CT Scan before his surgery, but the hospital had neglected to scan his chest. So Thursday morning we had to get one done. The woman who scheduled the scan gave us a choice of where to… Continue Reading “Fennel in the Fire”
WWJE
My blog is called “I Love To Go A Gardening” so I thought I ought to throw in something garden-ish: A month or so ago–a lifetime ago–I dug up a few herbs from my garden and I bought a couple more from the Farm… Continue Reading “WWJE”
Gardening on Steroids
I am currently taking a corticosteroid medication called Prednisone, a fact that makes my husband and son cower in fear. The first time I took Prednisone was three or four years ago. It was, no doubt, for a rash or something. The first prescription didn’t… Continue Reading “Gardening on Steroids”
