October 2024 Island Trip – Day 1
At this juncture in the day/evening, things feel settled, warm and relaxed. The rain is impressive and I’m thankful the trailer-buffeting winds have eased off. It took turning the electric heater up to it’s higher setting 😳 to warm Stella up above 60º, after hours of it running at it’s regular setting. Granted the interior […]
Sign Posting etc…
Did not go well… It was kinda like a red herring. City Hall told me to go the Community Center, who said they can only post city fliers, but try the park across the street. The park is huge, and I don’t currently have the mobility to hike the park looking for a bulletin board. […]
Camping
We just returned from a four night camping trip just an hour north of our mainland home. My DH observed that it takes ‘all this infrastructure, planning, setting up etc, so we can sit down and do nothing more than read for half a day.’ True fact. We saw a friend who lives just north […]
PT
I started physical therapy on Monday. It was almost amazing to the the PT use the same language the podiatrist did: “We need to keep your foot from falling off.” My inner 8-year old boy sees a cartoon of my foot falling off of my ankle! What they mean is we don’t want another ligament […]
Ankle Update
After a visit with the podiatrist today, who barely touched my ankle before claiming, “Whoa, this is a serious injury!” It is confirmed that I did tear a ligament. Official diagnosis: Severe Ankle Instability. Lovely… I’m in yet another brace (all waking hours) and have a compression sleeve to sleep in. I also have to […]
AN
In talking with my AN about an easement he needs in order to have the power company take power from my transformer to his well (so I don’t have to provide power for the well anymore) he let me know his latest MRI was not what they’d hoped. He’s not going to pursue further treatment. […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 10
It’s amazing to me that it’s the last day of August. Every year it’s amazing to me that it’s the last day of August! The sunset is moving south, the vine maple is turning color, the onions are ready to harvest, and the poppy seed pods are ready to sprinkle about the garden. My DH […]
August 2024 Island Trip – Day 9
It was a good day, and went kinda like this: We head back tomorrow.
