That little blue pill - an update

"And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air...." OMG! I expected the damn little pill to work but I am having better orgasms than when I was 16. My husband was in shock. I had never made a sound more than a little moan. I growl now. Of course, the pill does have side effects, some very... Sign in to see full entry.

That little blue pill

This blog is not about what you think it is about. I went to my hematologist two days ago. Finally my hemaglobin has leveled out at 12.6 and they are throwing a party they are so happy. So the doctor and I are just chit chatting about my other health concerns when we began talking about menopause... Sign in to see full entry.

Stand Up Straight, Shoulders Up, Boobs Out - Relearning How to Walk

After ten years of barely being able to get around I am actually having to learn to walk again. You don't think about how to walk as an adult. You just do it. But now that I am up and walking with a cane it became very apparent that I did not know how to walk in a way that was healthy for me. So I... Sign in to see full entry.

ZZZOTSS! Electroshock

I went to the new Physical Torture person yesterday. She was very nice and took me through exercises that I was already doing. It was ok but tiring. The good news is that I am able to bend the knee 100 degrees (out of 140 degrees) which is really good progress. Slowly the muscles in my leg are... Sign in to see full entry.

Stamina

Every step.... painful or easy builds stamina. Every exercise, every game I play with calories and carbs and my blood sugar... builds stamina. Silence... sweet and sad and just cold builds stamina. Once upon a time I did not have to build stamina. He held me up when I could not stand. He hid me from... Sign in to see full entry.

Of Leg Lifts and Electric Shock

For a month now I have been going through PT, rehabing from my knee surgury. And despite all my efforts I have been unable to raise my leg from the hip (to use my quad muscles). Unhappily, my doctor has sent me for electric shock to reteach those muscles to raise my leg. My first appointment is next... Sign in to see full entry.

Homecoming

Well, its done. On June 2nd Dr. Wadell Gilmore (the only person I have ever met with a thicker Southern accent than mine) opened up my knee, drilled three holes in my patella and replaced my entire knee. I ended up in a rehab hospital for four days (They thought I was gonna stay for a few weeks but... Sign in to see full entry.

The Benefits of Being Alone

For as much as I love Tom, he and I have a good way of doing things. When we are together we spend as much time with each other as we can and when he goes to work my time is my own. I enjoy the solitude and I prize it. It is precious to me for both my creative process and my sanity. But now as I... Sign in to see full entry.

Mother's Day

Mother's day is hard for me. My mother died last November and that in and of itself does not make it difficult. She and I had a less than ideal relationship for all of my life and mother's day now, as it concerns my mother, is almost a day of relief. She is someplace better and I don't have to feel...

Little Victories

It has been two weeks since I have had the time to even blog. That is good news and bad news. The bad news is that I miss blogging. The good news is that I have been so busy that I have had no time to think of what to write. I have three weeks left until my knee replacement surgury. I think that I... Sign in to see full entry.
