Kidney Cancer, at least one Gall stone, and a very sore mouth from oral surgery.
I’m feeling very sorry for myself right now.

A year ago today, Deb returned home from a rehab hospital, following an ER and ICU visit requiring a respirator. It would be her last hospital stay.
The next few weeks were good ones until her body decided to betray her one last time.
Rage, rage, against the dying of the light.

I had to reset the time on 14 devices this morning, and every one of them still reads "too late."

Love if you can, cry when you have to is fine advice. But it’s really hard to accept that there’s a plan to be part of.

I never expected a Kermit and Deborah Harry duet of “The Rainbow Connection” to trigger eye leakage, but the Kleenex box tells the story.

This is what I used to call a honeydew weekend, but I’m missing a honey. A lot. So instead, I’m spending it with my Auntie Social. The bitch hasn’t changed much over the years.

First weekend alone since Deb passed away. Clothes donated, workout done, cat petted, chores underway. Need a break to stop leaking.
