Traveling Tribe

Just the beginning    Part 3: Accident series I was finally home after 16 days in the hospital.  Seeing the new wheelchair ramp that was built by our fire family made me cry.  Crying because it was built with love and support.  Crying because this is my new normal until I work my way out of the chair.   When I finally got inside, I got to see my fur babies.  Obviously, they  didn’t  understand why they couldn’t jump all over me, so they lay beside me on the floor.  They would occasionally bump my hand to ensure  I was still there.   Then the medical equipment started appearing.  Nothing ruins your dignity more than having a portable toilet beside your bed.  Though I will say I had fun making Woody uncomfortable by staring at him while sitting there!  HAHA!!  My daughter helped me get on my new shower seat so I could take my first real shower  I’d  had in the 16 days.  As I sat there with the water just running over me, I cried.  I bawled until there were no more tears.  I washed my hai

  Need A laugh?!? Read this!!! My husband and I were dressed and ready to go out for a lovely evening of dinner and theatre. Having been burgled in the past, we turned on a 'night light' and the answering machine then put the cat in the backyard. When our cab arrived, we walked out our front door and our rather tubby cat scooted between our legs inside, then ran up the stairs. Because our cat likes to chase our budgie we really didn't want to leave them unchaperoned so my husband ran inside to retrieve her and put her in the backyard again. I didn't want the taxi driver to know our house would be empty all evening, I explained to him that my husband would be out momentarily as he was just bidding goodnight to my mother. A few minutes later he got into the cab all hot and bothered, and said (to my growing horror and amusement) as the cab pulled away. "Sorry it took so long but the stupid bitch was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her arse with a coat ha

  You may recall from my intro to the blog that I'm a work-from-home entrepreneur - I have my own social/digital marketing firm. It's a real challenge getting my name out there since it's a startup. I'm often up in the wee hours of the night with ideas, concepts, or random thoughts that just come to me or sometimes it's the random train of thought from earlier in the day that derailed and I had no survivors I suddenly find one and now I'm AWAKE! However, there are some perks of working from home: The commute is pretty decent, might be a furry speed bump along the hallway, but mostly smooth sailing. Coworkers are pretty decent, sometimes demanding, often distracting, and most of the time just plain quiet and a lot of one -sided conversation. Breakroom is usually pretty stocked. The ability to say meh it's 5 o'clock somewhere after a meeting that doesn't go well and no one blinks! Working from my pj's is usually my uniform Work when I can sneak

September 20, 2020 When I woke up from my first surgery and looked down I couldn’t believe what had happened.  The amount of metal surrounding my lower leg was crazy.  I knew I had hurt my leg, but I  did not  know how bad.  I was laying there crying from the pain when the nurse came in to check on me.  She asked me how I was feeling…. And  that is when  the first joke came… “I feel like I was hit by a truck!”  She just looked at me, shook her head, and laughed.  I asked what all happened, but fell asleep before I got the answer. Oh,  blessed pain meds, you were my best friend! The next morning waking up in pain again  I got to meet my new nurse .  She explained to me everything that happened, and what was up next.  I had a compound fracture on my right leg, my foot had been degloved, and my  Achilles  tendon  was cut in half.  She was there to prep me for another surgery.  I was scared and wanted Woody.  No one could tell me where he was, and if he was ok.  I fell back to sleep, and w
