I had double hip replacement surgery!

Laura — Fri, 10 Nov 2017 15:39:20 +0000

That’s quite a title of a post: I had double hip replacement surgery! Yes, that’s where I’ve been the past few weeks. Here’s an update. So way back in 2012, I wrote about my hip issues here. It’s hard to believe that was five years ago, and I must admit: I’m quite impressed with my...

My Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Laura — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 19:33:00 +0000

Last Thursday — even though I posted here excited to share my guest post on what I like to read — was my terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Here’s the end of the story first: I’m fine now. Feeling like I’m around 85% of the way there. And feeling TONS better than I...

Be more flexible, like a cat!

Aliza, who once was a feral cat afraid of humans (and us), now loves stretching out for “scroochies” on her head! My word of the year for 2012 is messy, as in be more messy. As my post on Wednesday indicated, when things get messy, I get a bit nuts. I’m not overly anal, but...

Getting my hair and hips done…

Laura — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 18:35:00 +0000

“Thinking of me…” card, © Pet Scribbles LLC Today I have to get my hair trimmed. I love my curly hair – manmade not natural – but there’s always a tiny window of time when my hair goes from cute-and-fun to crazy-and-nuts. I’ve reached the crazy-and-nuts phase. Maybe my hair is a metaphor . ....

Wrapping up my kidney surgery chapter

Laura — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:57:00 +0000

I realized that I have left some of you hanging, as to how I’m doing post surgery.[Cue background music, somewhat dramatic, with a commanding voice saying… “When we last checked in, Laura was miserable having a stent up her ureter…”] Needless to say, and I’m sure I referenced this somewhere in another post recently,...

My Ureter Hurts! How many people can share THAT as a status update?

Laura — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:45:00 +0000

Hi everyone! As most of you know, I had kidney surgery on February 13th, already 3 weeks ago, which I keep telling myself to bolster my mood about my recovery. My early February post – Surgery Hair and other random thoughts about the upcoming surgery – was a bit more positive about things than reality...

Surgery Hair and other random thoughts about the upcoming surgery

Laura — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:19:00 +0000

Above photo from pre-surgery, 2011: Husband amused and had to take this shot of me because of “fall risk” band. He wished we had these for me to wear ever since I broke my foot in a total klutzy way 3 years ago. Probably not a bad idea! Thoughts popping into my head while...

My Chosen Word for 2012 and My Right Kidney

Laura — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:48:00 +0000

I can’t concentrate. That sums things up in a nutshell. I have so many things I need to do, but at the moment, all I can think about is my pre-op appointment today at the hospital. I only started this blog a bit over a week ago, and already my mind is trying to figure...
