The long, but good, weekend, started too early for my taste on Friday morning when the alarm went off at 5:00 am. Colleen, Jonathan and I headed out at 6:30 for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
I went through my first test with them in this gastrointestinal journey I’ve been on for the last 7 months. The Gastric [...]
I just now heard back from Cedars-Sinai. My Gastric Emptying Study has been scheduled for next Friday, August 6 at 8:30 am at Cedars. The follow-up appointment with the doctor for results will be on Thursday, August 19 at 11:30 am. I’ve asked them to put me on a list for cancellations to see if [...]
Cannot believe we are on the last full weekend of July! Cannot believe it has been 6 weeks since my gall bladder was removed! Cannot believe I am still having symptoms I had prior to the surgery, meaning that the gall bladder was not the problem! Cannot believe we are only 1 month away from [...]
I think the title of this post is an appropriate one for how I feel today in a few ways.
First, we leave tomorrow afternoon to drive north to attend Josh’s Sea Cadets Boot Camp Graduation and bring him home. He’s in the HOME STRETCH of his experience and we’re in the HOME STRETCH of missing [...]
A week ago, we left on Saturday to check Josh in at his Sea Cadets Boot Camp on Sunday at Camp Roberts, 200 miles north of here. You can see my last post for details on that. In the meantime, while we haven’t heard anything from Josh (and don’t expect to), there’s a website where [...]
I am both proud and nervous about this weekend! Our oldest son, Josh, who is 15, is embarking on quite an adventure.
On Sunday, we will check him in at Camp Roberts, just over 200 miles north of here, where he will begin his two week stay for a US Navy Sea Cadet Recruit Training Camp. [...]
I didn’t feel it because the boys and I were on the freeway toward Indio, but what a wild thing to have an earthquake on Easter! What a great reminder that we are NOT in control of life around us and that anything can happen at any time!
Easter celebration at NewHeart was great! We’ll get [...]
How’s THAT for an honest post title? Feeling crappy. Not just physically, but emotionally. Maybe even spiritually right now.
Not only do I not feel a whole lot better after 7 weeks and 33 pounds of fighting this stomach thing, but now my kids have just left for Youth Group. I know … shouldn’t I be [...]
Man, has it been a long time or what? Over two months since my last post!
I did find that the last half of the sabbatical was much less computer friendly than the first half. Just didn’t have the desire to be around the computer a whole lot. I journaled through the whole sabbatical (which I [...]
Since returning from our camping trip to Buellton, sabbatical has been hopping. Is that an oxymoron? Should sabbaticals be this busy? Apparently, only if you’re at home during them!
The week we returned, Colleen was at one of her two jobs (nursing and teaching) for most of the week. Josh had football practice every day from [...]
