BLOGGING FOR FUN I know that some of you started your blog without thinking about making money from it.
My last five toes
One week between surgeries I waited a week in between amputations of my toes on my left and right feet. The left foot was done first on Aug. 21, 2018, followed by the right foot on Aug. 28. The incisions on the first foot were given time to heal. I was expected to get up…

My little boy
Yes, I am the crazy cat lady! I admitted it a long time ago. I am the person who stops whatever I am doing to pat a cat or play with them … no matter what! One funny story … of many … While I was still in the hospital for physical therapy at Russell…
