Have you had your stimulation today?
It’s not what you think, you dirty-minded readers! So as many of you know, I’m a cancer survivor, 13 years out from anal cancer. And here I am. I got ass cancer because I was married to an asshole. That’s the story, and I’m sticking to it. So, as the years have gone on, as […]
DIY Medical Care: bites, bumps, and boiling water..
Ever look at a bite or bump on your skin and think, ” Can I treat that myself? Now y’all know I’m a nurse and I don’t advocate anyone treating themselves when maybe a Dr should take a look first, but then there’s me and those like me. And……I’ve been a nurse a long, long […]
REtire or WEtire?
Who’s retiring? It seems as Ive aged that everyone around me is aging too. And I look at my friends and think, is that me? Getting close to retirement like them? Do I look old already? Several have asked me when you are going to retire. Um, not on my radar, I say.. Except my […]
Who Buys a House in their 60s?
People who have way more cash than I. That’s for sure So to settle my thoughts on fear of loss of freedom, and fear of financial anxiety I decided to talk to someone to clear my thoughts about buying a house at my age. Warning: artificial intelligence decision-making support ahead. So I decided to sit […]
Freezing my butt off with skin like a lizard.
Again! The condo I live in is made of tissue paper. The furnace is going on almost constantly, trying to keep the space at a barely warm 69. The floor is like ice, both the fake wood planks and tile in the bathroom. Getting out of the shower invokes memories of my childhood, living in […]
Better Late Than Never
Not sure what happened to me, but since I came back from two years in Spain, I’ve turned into a procrastinator. It wasn’t obvious at first. But there it is. Even my T’s are crossed later. That’s handwriting analysis code for procrastination, when it used to be before and right over the T’s. Meaning impatience, […]
Fire Extinquishers or a Bug-Out Bag?
Ok, at 5:22 am, I hear the sirens of fire trucks. 1, then 2, then 3…. But they are not passing by the complex. Their sirens stopped here. Great, another emergency? I’m thinking maybe there’s a heart attack or stroke in the building, as many often happen in the early AM, says the nurse in […]
Swipe left or right?
Can’t I swipe up for maybe? I’ve been single for nearly two years now, and sometimes I think it might be nice to have a friend. Or a companion or a partner. But maybe not. I’ve been divorced for almost 10 years. It feels like yesterday I signed the papers to cut him out of […]
Toe Woes and Cocktails
So here I am after a 3rd urgent toe surgery on the toe that keeps on giving… and losing.. A quick synopsis of the toe chronicles: First surgery was 9 weeks ago to correct three toe deformities from rheumatoid arthritis. 2 weeks later the 2nd toe announces she is not perfusing all the way. “It’s […]
Toes and Teeth
Update on the foot surgery. After the main surgery, as you read previously, the hammer toe didn’t do as it was told, and didn’t perfuse all the way to the tip.. Not good. The poor surgeon was upset as in his 20-year career as a foot reconstruction surgeon, he had never lost a toe. “Look, […]
