We often don’t take the time to consider the many opportunities that arise each day, opportunities to look at something in a different way. My drive to work this morning gave me the chance to see the beauty created by cold and fog… pogonip…pogo meaning beard and nip meaning sharp or biting frost. It turns…
I know, it has been quite a while since I blogged. Trust me, it is not the only thing for which I am delinquent. I have not cleaned my house since prior to the surgery. Don’t get me completely wrong. I have vacuumed as needed, kept up with laundry and dishes, dusted a little,…
Standing up for the first time: slightly graphic: You may know that when someone has heart surgery, frequently the hospital will give them a heart shaped pillow to hold against the chest when coughing, sneezing, laughing, standing up, sitting down, etc. Mine is red and and has a colorful diagram of the heart. Heart pillow in…
As planned, we left quite early on September 11, 2012 for California and were nearly halfway there by the time the sun came up. We had pre-op appointments at the surgeon’s office including ultrasound of my carotid arteries and vitals. We also talked to the PA who explained the process and that I would leave…
I will be honest, I did not write this at 3am on Tuesday. I knew I would be rushed for time and did not want to try to make sense in the middle of the night. So I am writing this throughout the day on Monday. This will most likely be my last post before…
We leave tomorrow and the surgery is in two days. Tomorrow at this time, we should be more than halfway to the coast. I would like to say that I slept really well again last night. However, not so much. I slept enough, just restless and BIZARRE dreams. I have mentioned in previous posts just…
As the days pass and the day of my surgery approaches, I am faced with a dilemma. However, while others will hopefully not face the same situation, many may find themselves in a place or time where they must face similar issues. I have indicated that I will likely be away from work for 6…
I don’t know what others do in the last few days before STAAR surgery (surgical thoracic aortic aneurysm repair), but I am occupied with a variety of things. Yesterday I completed my will, a power of attorney, and a power of attorney for health care (also known as advanced directives). I have always disliked this process,…
Unless you are a grandma, you may not truly understand. But to hear your grandchild exclaim “Gramma!” when you answer the phone is a bliss beyond many others. And when you add “I love you too”, well, there just isn’t anything better. My grandson is 2 years and about 8 1/2 months old. He has…
So here we are, 24 days until my surgery and most of the things I am worrying about, trying to get done, and planning are related to others rather than to me. For instance, making sure that all of my duties at work are covered and my patients will have back-up therapists. Other examples include,…

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.
