LOL… that’s Emeraude’s motiviational song for when she & Lloyd are doing there Saturday morning garbage pick up around the house, great tune lol Spent way too much of my morning at the hospital earlier although it’s hard to complain about it when Vickie drove me and lost [Read more]
this excruciating, dibilatating pain in my bones like I have rods being shoved up my legs, arms, my hands and feet being a pile of broken bones that if I could somehow keep in one piece I would get some break from it... I know that there are answers to me having [Read more]
Long day… I am very dissapointed and concerned that I am still dealing with fatiuge, pain and other symptoms although my solumedrol treatment is done. I did not go to the hospital yet today although this is not from lack of pain but rather because the doctor prescribed new oral pain meds that [Read more]
At bedtime, before our story, we decided to begin working on our dreamcatcher. The materials included in the kit are quite nice and seem plentiful (it can be aggravating when craft kits are skimpy on quantity of supplies). Tonight is also my last IV Solumedrol treatment (5 of 5) and although I [Read more]
On a different note, I was advised today that my readership included a group I was not previously aware of. Apparently there are some among the staff @ MGH (our local hospital) who are fond (or perhaps that's not quite the right word lol) let's say who have noticed my blog. Apparently some are [Read more]
Ok, another very busy day (in spite of having less than adequate supplies of energy). The kids were a huge help.

Mom & Dad were in Thunder Bay last week for personal business. Before leaving she had asked me for ideas as to what she might pick up that I can’t get here in the way of materials for Emeraude’s home schooling. I had given her a few ideas but did not really have any expectations [Read more]
I finally took up the offer of yet another very kind lady who had given me her phone number during the bad months at the beginning of the year when I was going to the hospital in way too many taxis. I felt a little odd calling someone I don’t know for a ride but [Read more]
Well, putting the IV in was a chore… Mary was a doll though, very patient, kept it fun and didn’t get upset that my veins kept poping. After 6 attempts we finally decided to just go anti-cubital, sheesh. Well, can’t say she didn’t put in a great effort! I am hoping that [Read more]

...The way she had to walk when she got up realizing her pants had taken in water and she was soaked through, we tried wringing out her mittens which were saturated but ... [Read more]
The photos I think will tell most of the story… There was as much walking the bike as there was riding the bike 🙂 I was quite impressed with her improvement from last year, especially since it was her first ride since. She can use her brakes well already, she was also [Read more]
This week was all about Transportation at Nursery School. Emeraude only goes Friday mornings and as luck would have it, that was the day the school bus was coming to give the kids a ride (many of them are going to Junior Kindergarten next year and will be taking the bus). I was thrilled for [Read more]
