Back from France, Part 1
We’re back from our trip to France. It was lovely and busy, and I did well health-wise, I am happy to say! I’m sitting on the couch right now, having just finished my treatment an hour or so ago, so I’m going to give myself a break and tell you that the trip recap will [...]
Final Preparations for France
I can’t believe it’s almost here! Monday we leave for France! I’ve had a mixture of feelings about this trip – anxiety about being in a strange country and with limited knowledge of the language; excitement at the idea of seeing France; trepidation about the flight, since I don’t know how it will affect my [...]
Post-treatment update; CreativeTherapy
Well, as usual, I’m completely wiped out from treatment. I woke this morning groggy, but I felt good for about an hour and a half. Then the fatigue smacked me down. So, here I sit, in front of the TV on the den couch with my MacBook. Yesterday I was ok for a short time [...]
Countdown to France
We’ve officially reached the 10-day countdown to our trip! Woo! So, right now I’m at home getting my monthly IV my treatment so I can be “ready” for the trip with my balance, hopefully, AOK! This week I did the usual running around to get as much done as possible before my treatment, since I [...]
What I’ve been up to
There is really not much to report here. No art to share… The good news is that I’m feeling well. I’m exercising regularly, making sure I’m ready for all the walking we’ll do in France. And, happily, I’m also finally shedding some of the pounds and inches that have been bugging me for a while. [...]
chronic vertigo
I’ve been trying to write this blog post for the past three days. I’m having some pretty severe vertigo, so if it doesn’t make sense, I apologize. This week went by quickly. I had several things to do this week, including a doctor’s appointment Friday with my neurotologist. I see him every 6 months unless [...]
Every Day in May – #3 & 4
The past two days have been hard for me physically. Yesterday I spent most of the day in bed with fatigue and vertigo. I did draw yesterday – two things, so I’m going to count them as yesterday’s and today’s in case I can’t get drawing done today (but I’ll still try!). Today I’m tired [...]
Chicago Report and Passover Preparations
This week, I joined my husband, Dave, on a trip to Chicago, IL. While Dave was at the annual American Academy of Neurology meeting, I met Joanne in Chicago for a few days of fun. We had a fantastic time time! First, we met for a great dinner at Lockwood, the restaurant in Joanne’s hotel, [...]
Chicago, Chicago….
Friday I got up very early. DH decided not to exercise, but was still up at 5:00-ish. So he jumped in the shower and turned on all the lights, ran the hair dryer, etc… So, I got up and showered, dressed for a day of volunteering for Cochlear at the Devonshire Senior Center. They were [...]
Post Treatment Update, Cabinet Cards for Sale
It’s Monday. After a long weekend of fatigue and nausea, I was able to sit in the studio for a while today. I cleared off my desk and even did some sewing today. I finished up two small journals for Beads-n-More/SunSpirit Studio in Bisbee. Another of my journals sold there this weekend and they’re having [...]
