Last week on the 10th of March, I had my first eye surgery. One down and one to go. Having cataract surgery is not an easy time, it is painful and makes touching the area around the eye nearly impossible. Thus for a week you must wear a plastic shield held on by sticky tape that's residue sticks with you long after the shield is no longer needed, as well as, after scrubbing the face several times.

I have been really sick. I have so much on my plate that I don't know how to handle it anymore. I feel I am losing my grip on things. I feel so helpless sometimes. I don't know what kind of feeling I should have. Happiness, Sadness or anger. I am happy things are picking up. Sad that it has taken half of my life. Anger that I can't get to it faster. So many things are blocking me off from what I know I need to do. I need a breath...a break from it. Even for a few minutes. I will try to get out and head to town. Decided if I want it I will just have to work extra hard for it.

Well here I go again talking about my mother. Sorry if this topic is not what you expected, but for me this blog clears my mind of the scary thoughts and hardships of life while I care for her each day.

Yesterday, I had the biggest scare of my life when she got upset about a minor thing and completely shut down her brain, by going inside herself. I thought at first she was just sleeping but she would not wake up or open her eyes. Then the thought of a TIA, came to me, but that proved to be false. She had said to me nothing matters anymore and I am going away now.

I had a not so good starting of a day. It was hard. Luckly I had my Mom try and help me pass through it. I had tears going down my face. I felt like a zombie and the pain was the worst Ive had in Months. She pushed me through it. I still left even though I felt like a pile of poo. I went out to get a new pet. I got a bird. Bringing that bird home. Oh gosh. How could anything be so cute and innocent?! There wasnt any breath holes so I poked one in the box. And the whole time she stuck her little face next to the peep hole and we stared at each other the whole ride home.

Well hi My name is Stephanie! After Thanksgiving. My family and I decided to foster two dogs. The moment they have gotten here it was chaotic. Christmas wasnt to bad. Atleast for that day it was peacful. Christmas here it was raining. gross.. The dogs are still here. they wil be going to another foster in a week. I know I will miss them. But I will be relieved that my family and I will have a brake. 2015 is here and I am trying to make changes. so far it is going good

Last night and today it finally snowed. The last few weeks have been bouts of cold with freezing rain and no snow. Our basement floor had water rising from all the seepage from the water logged soil. I built a board bridge across the worse part only for the ability to reach the dryer. But the boards were starting to float. I am praying that the water will start to drain away now that we have snow.

Hi, my name is Judy, and I'm a Fat-a-holic...OMG, do I feel like the Good Year Blimp after eating my way through the holidays. Normally, this would not get to me because I would adjust my eating habits and start exercising to reverse the weight gain. :xWell, hell, I can't sweep the front walk off without feeling like I ran a marathon. I don't know what I was thinking to pack this weight on as I am not the same person with the energy levels and physical aptitude of the 'old' me.

:p The grocery stores and Wal Mart looked like they were giving something away today...Xmas traffic..got to love it...NOT!!

Started off my morning going to the pain doc to pick up this month's script for tramadol, made a few stops at friends houses, ate some lunch and made a grocery run.

Hi everyone...countdown to Christmas...how's your 'to do' list coming along?

So since this is the first year I'm not bogged down with a job, I decided to make Christmas cookies to share with friends and neighbors. My first batch on Tuesday of this week was Mexican Wedding Cookies, which are basically round butter cookies with walnuts rolled in confectioner's sugar. Forgot to tell the hubby that they weren't just for him...LOL! Guess they were good as he ate them all.

Morning everyone...weather is really nice right now in Orlando and great for putting up Christmas decorations and going out to shop.

So my fibro has settled into my upper back, neck and shoulders for the last two weeks..crampy, achy and miserable...I am surprised my skin hasn't come off in the shower from my attempts to use the force of the water to break up the shoulder spasms.
