My mother, Theresa, who is 89 years old had to do a couple of weeks in rehab after battling a nasty kidney stone earlier this spring.  As part of her daily routine, she needed to work with an occupational therapist to make sure she would be able to return to her beautiful home on Siesta […]

About 6 weeks ago, I got a call from my sister who lives about 30 minutes south of my mother in Florida. Dawn, my sister, tells me she is taking mom to the hospital with a suspected kidney stone that really knocked her for a loop. My mother, Theresa, (get it, Mother Theresa) was there […]

I am sad to say that I missed my port this week.  No, I’m not talking about red wine, I am talking about the port I had in my chest to administer chemo and take blood.  I had it removed, albeit difficult, last June to come to Florida “Port Authority free”, but needed it yesterday.  […]

Sorry it’s been so long since my last post.  I have no excuse, not even the current COVID-19 is an excuse for not sharing humorous stories.  So here’s one that happened before we were “locked  down” here in Florida. I have been in Palm Coast now since October 19th.  I saw my first snake 3 […]

I write this post from my office in beautiful Palm Coast, Florida as I listen to the boats race by on the Intracoastal Waterway.  As I approach February 2020, I can’t help but remember that 6 years ago on February 14, 2014, I was in surgery having yet another ovarian cancer tumor removed from my […]

Well, it’s been more than 4 weeks since I had the attempt at a de”port”ation of my port.  I have since healed and gotten over the side effects so it’s time to fill you all in on the drama.  I went in to have my port removed after 11 1/2 years, now that the veins […]

Well, this month has been very kind to me.  Jeff and I have found a beautiful home in Palm Coast, Florida where we will take up full time residence sometime in the fall of 2019.  Although I will miss everyone in Connecticut, my plan is  to come back 9 of the 12 months for 1 […]

You know you are having a good time when you break teeth on vacation.  I came out to Montana on December 13th with a temporary crown and my usual fillings.   I left Marge home (my partial denture) cuz she doesn’t quite work right with the temp crown.  We attended my son’s college graduation, watched him […]

My dental issues continue to plague me.  This past summer I fractured a molar, one of the few I had left, and had to have it pulled under anesthesia leaving me with no molar to molar contact.  This makes eating anything difficult at best.  So my dentist recommended a partial denture be made.  He explained […]

This morning I get to have another tooth pulled.  It will be my fifth and note, I am not replacing them.  Apparently, we all should come to this life with 30 teeth.  I figure you only need four molars appropriately situated in order to eat and I will end up with three of them and […]
