  I saw my mother with her 'military' shirt on rise up to her full Navy Nurse status and order an appointment with the doctor in her Rehab facility.  I saw her fierceness and intimidating mannars.  It didn't work.  The doctor just sent a cryptic note on her chart to sentence… Read full post »

   As I watched the closing arguments yesterday I grew to like Jodi Arias' lawyer.  When I first saw him that big fat stomach annoyed me and yet listening to his slow telling of the inconsistencies in the evidence I was calmed.  None of it made sense to me but Jodi… Read full post »

   The xrays for Mom's new hip look great.  It is as if a giant railroad spike were implanted in her leg and it will never wear out.  She will be better than ever.  It took the surgeon all of ten minutes to pronounce her cured and off he went to… Read full post »

   Becoming "seedy" is one of the most obvious sins according to my mother.  You should be fresh as a daisy all the time according to her but she gets tripped up when faced with decay.
