So, a year ago I posted my last post on OS. The subject was how my parents grave was robbed. It was a bummer and really worked on my head for a little while. Now, a year later they haven't caught the grave robbers and in the end I have forgiven… Read full post »

My father died in 1983, my mother passed in 1996 and my sister had their ashes interred in a mausoleum inside of a glass box. My sister chose some of their personal things to put in their niche so when somebody came to pay respects they could… Read full post »

Well the doctor is concerned.. she flat out told me this. They did a blood test and ruled out, Diabetes, (I'm so happy about that!) She ruled out, Liver disease, Kidney disease, infections, (another big relief) she said my white blood cells were great. We are still… Read full post »

I had an appointment at my doctor's office last week, up in Poulsbo luckily I remembered to take my new camera. I put it right by the door in anticipation of the sun shining for once, (it didn't.)

The doc's office is the last 3 windows off the board walk.… Read full post »

New me... I know you can't really tell from the picture but I have lost 12 pounds and am on my way back down. Got my head screwed on tight, got a new attitude.

Theresa and I joined the local YMCA and I have been doing my exercises in the pool.… Read full post »

Steve called tonight. He is alright but is going through some rejection, (his second so far since the transplant.) When I talked to him 6 days ago, he was on the l....o....w... end of his mood swing. He said he was being hormonal. Now he is on an upswing in his… Read full post »

Something is really wrong with Steve, it's all I can figure as he has cut off all communications with me. I found out from his son, April 4 that he was back at Stanford but nothing else. Since that time I have heard nothing. No texts, no email, no phoine, nothing.… Read full post »

So we went to Shelton today to shop the Super Store, (Walmart that is.) Yeah, Walmart is probably high end for me.. shopping wise. I'm trailer trash, what can I do.

So anyway, I needed a printer and found a wireless Canon that is going to work out for the time… Read full post »

 I haven't even begun to brag about my brand new aluminum iMac and then today I bought an magic trackpad and have almost achieved Nirvana. That thing that looks like a small clipboard, (without the clip?) That sucker does everything that you can do with a mouse and some that… Read full post »

When I was in design school in 2001,… Read full post »

My trusty old iMac computer is 12 years old and on it's last leg.

 

 

The screen is half okay and half green tint and for the last 4 months it has gotten worse each and every day. Not to mention my browser was so old it… Read full post »

I talked to Steve tonight. He wanted to let me know he was heading home tomorrow to begin to live his new life. He wanted me to thank you all for sending him those cards. He sure enjoyed getting them.

I used up one of my nine lives today, (I'm probably down to two left.) We stayed up until 2am, hoping to get some word about Steve. Went to bed and took the pill marked, "take at bedtime." Rolled over on my side and went to sleep.

Slept fine and was… Read full post »

He just called me to tell me he had gotten the call. His heart transplant has arrived and he was on his way to the hospital.

If you pray, now is the time.

 About 14 months ago I got a sore spot on my breast plate of my chest. I ignored it. Time wen on, (about 6 months ago) the pain radiated through my chest and  into my left shoulder blade.. I ignored it. 2 months ago I had a 3rd pain added… Read full post »

I just wanted to say to all my friends in Australia Theresa and I are hoping and praying for you to stay safe and sound during your terrible weather, Cyclone Yasi. Take care of yourselves please.

I just wanted to pop in and let everybody know that Steve is having his LVAD replaced tomorrow because the doctors believe there is a blood clot in there and if it were to pass on through, would kill him quick. Steve told me on the phone tonight that he… Read full post »

I just needed to stop everything and say thank you to all the folks who sent us cards and money. You made a bit of life, not so bad. Theresa and I will be forever grateful.

I wanted to take a picture of all the cards and make a real nice… Read full post »

I just got off the phone with Steve.. The news is, he is in the hospital, they won't let him go back to the motel, (so don't send any cards there.) He has to stay in the hospital until a heart becomes available.
