I'm still among the living...





Thanks to everyone who sent prayers our way for my daughter. She is recovering well after a very difficult time. On Friday the wound vac was removed and she now has the freedom of 'wet packs' instead of carrying around that machine and tubing everywhere. I ended up being the caregiver because the person that was doing it had to leave to tend to her mother (who also ended up having emergency surgery a couple of days after my daughter came home - WHAT??). Anyway, I moved in and was there until Friday, when the visiting nurse sent me home because I ended up getting a bad cold and could not risk giving it to Vicki. Well, my cold proved to be walking pneumonia so I am working to get well now too. I actually don't feel that bad, but I can tell there is a problem when I try to do too much and can't get my breath.

Guess what? We are awaiting some snow tonight. I'm so excited. I hope I'm up to see it when it hits. Of course, they are only calling for 1 to 3 inches and I'm sure it won't stick around very long as the temps are moving back up in the next few days. That's OK though. I will get my camera out and hope I get a few photo's in the morning while it's here. They are saying it may snow as far South as Birmingham. Welcome March!!!

Well, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am thinking about you all and grateful for your prayers and friendship. Hopefully things will return to normal (whatever that is) soon.

Hugs, Joyce

  2. I was thinking about you today and realizing you hadn't made an entry lately. So glad your daughter is doing better. I'm still taking meds for bronchitis. Sounds odd to hear about snow when its been so hot here the last few days until today its cooler and very windy. Take care of yourself.

  9. My, you HAVE had a time of it lately, haven't you? Glad things are on the upswing, and I assume you're taking antibiotics for your pneumonia. I hope everyone heals soon!
