Surgery and Recovery

It has been two weeks now since my surgery.  It is the same as the one I had in October, only on the left side of my neck.  The surgery went well and I have been doing way better this time than last time.  More movement sooner and slightly more energy.  But I do still have an issue.  My tongue. 

The doctor assures me that it will return to normal functioning.  He said that the tumor was completely surrounding the nerve that affects my tongue, therefore he had to work with it quite a bit.  Hence why half of my tongue isn't working.  My husband says it will be fine too.  But although I am doing my best to think happy thoughts about it, I am still a little bit concerned.  Please help me out!!  I could use all the happy, shiny thoughts, prayers, and candle lighting I can get, to get my tongue to working properly again so that I can eat without fighting my food.  Thanks so much for your help! 

Blessed be!

Birthday and House Warming Party

So we finally got around to having our house warming party.  We decided to have it coincide with my birthday.  It went pretty well considering less than a dozen people showed up of the nearly 40 who were invited.  It was a beautiful day.  The sun was shining.  The temperature was in the upper 60's.  There was children's laughter echoing in the valley!  Can't really complain.  We were very happy to have guests over yet very sad that we didn't get to see the rest of our friends that we haven't seen in a few years.  But maybe we can figure out another time that they can come up.

My next surgery will be happening on the 24th of this month.  I have already made several hats.  Now I need to get the horns done for them before I will be unable to do any crocheting for a couple of months.  And I have to get graduation announcements sent out as well.  I will be very busy this week!  But that is OK.  That's all for now.  See you around!  Go enjoy Spring!!!!

Blessed Be.

Spring Is Finally Here

YAY!!!!!  I am so excited that spring has finally got here.  Even though the snow was pretty to watch it fall for several days straight and see it on everything, I am thankful to see everything coming back to life and the warmer temps are welcome.  Spring is my favorite time of year.  And it is just in time for my birthday which is this next week. 
Blessed be!!

Life

We are still trying to settle into our new house.  We are very much enjoying our house so far.  I LOVE the fact that I am getting to see so much wildlife in the back yard.  We have seen an owl (don't know what kind though), two coyotes, a fox, a herd of deer (10 total), and three neighborhood cats (I know they aren't wild but it still makes me happy). 

But I am soooooooo hating the fact that we still can't afford to get internet.  *sigh*  It is so depressing.  I want it back!!!  I started this blog with the hopes and plans of actually being able to post fairly often.  It disappoints me deeply that I can't yet.  If anyone is checking out my page on a regular basis, then I apologize profusely that I am rather boring.  BLAST!!!  I want to do better.  I hate not having enough money.

Well, that is enough complaining!  I am actually pretty happy with my life right now.  Things are going pretty well.  I hope all is well for everyone else as well. 

Blessed be,
The most boring blog writer to date.  :-P

New Year and a New Start

Ah.......The new year has started and of course I am behind.  So many things have been happening lately that I can scarcely keep track.  I am feeling so much better from my surgery!  The scar doesn't even look half bad.  :-)  But in a few months I will need to go through it all again for the other side.  But I am fine with that.

The best news to impart, and what has taken up so much of my time lately, is that we have finally bought a house!!!  We managed to FINALLY close on it the 9th of this month.  We were beginning to think it was never going to happen.  And frankly, looking back at the incompetence of several of the agencies involved, it is a miracle we got the house at all!!  That being said, I refuse to ever work with them again.  The only ones who did their job properly were our realtor and bank.  The rest were just fools who don't deserve to continue to be in business!!  But we are now home owners and although I am excited about it, it also scares me.  But I have faith that all will be well.

Now we just need to get settled in and then have a house warming party!  I hope we can figure out something soon.  I so want our friends and family to see our new place.  Plus, now we can see about getting internet again so that I don't have to wait so long to post anything.  Then I feel I need to find some way of immersing myself into creativity.  I am feeling rather low when it comes to being creative and that just won't do if I want to heal my soul, live life fully and start my own business.  We shall see what I can get myself into.  :-D

That is all for now folks.  Hope to be back soon.

Blessed be

Things of Interest to Me

1. Just when I start feeling better from my surgery, I get sick.  But even that is getting better. 

2.  We are getting closer to owning our first home.  We have done all we can and now it is up to the appraiser and the bank people.  We hope all goes well. 

3.  Sorry my posts are few and far between.  Still have no internet at home. Hopefully that will change after we get into our new house (if we get it).

4.  I just realized today that Thanksgiving is next week.  WOW!  I am not even remotely prepared. That is all for now folks.

Thanks for your support and hope you have a wonderful holiday.
Blessed be.

My Frankenstein Scar

Here are some pictures from after my surgery.  In the hospital, after getting home, and after having the steri strips removed.
