I am the 3rd from the left in those evolutionary charts

I took a couple of photos of my surgery site to share while under the influence of great pain killers, because that's what everyone wants to see, right? Sure you do...

They had to cut it open, couldn't get the repair done with a scope, so the recovery will be longer. I was hoping for a better outcome. All the yellow is bruising, which is kind of a weird color, but I am told it's normal.




So how do you tie your shoes when you only have one hand? The answer is you don't, you go get slide-locks for the laces! Very handy little things they are.


As I look at my pictures I am struck by how grey I have become! Holy shit, first my beard now chest hairs, what is up with that!?

    I got the willys looking at the surgery site. What does yellow bruising indicate?

    Grey hair is not so bad...it's natures way of letting everyone know you are a mature person...hahahahaha

    Hope you are feeling better and your recovery is quick

    Looks like you're healing nicely. My blonde husband is also turning gray these days, but he's in denial and insists he's still blonde. What a ditz! LOL

    How are you feeling? I mean, I know you just had surgery and all, so that probably hurts, but, you know, not counting the pain, are you okay?

    Gadzooks, man! The Grays are on the move!!

    MILK SHAKES: I've got lots of blonde hairs and when I find one that looks suspiciously grey (or just white, in my case), I just tell myself it's really, REALLY platinum. Your hubby is stelling himself the same thing. And just you wait till you start finding some on YOUR head, sistah!!

    RAVEN: There's a solution for that problem, you know... Of course, I advocate manscaping as a general rule anyway (then again, for some odd reason, almost ALL of my body hair is white and has been since I turned 14...)

    SKY DAD: that's a nice chest shot ya' gots there, but to be REALLY hawt, like MEE, you need a big ol' tattoo right above your nip stretching to your clavicle. Like mee!!

    Seriously, that sucks-- they had to peel you like an orange to get to the bits they needed to? Wow. That sux. And the whole slide-clip biz-- I dunno bout that: why not slip-on sabots? Or is there still too much snow up there?

    There's always Crocs, you know... Soft, comfy, H2O proof, no laces...

    cheer: some people bruise black and blue, i usually bruise yellow. dont know why!

    teri: With me, sexy chest shot is an oxymoron!

    Mom: was beyond blonde as a young kid, almost white!

    Grant: thanks a lot!

    raven: it already moved south...

    la cat: thanks for being a reader, and i like your blog too.

    chris: doing pretty well, sleeping is the toughest. i have to sit up in a recliner at night because the arm really hurts to hang forward or backwards

    leonesse: i mostly rely on my ability to run fast instead of fighting.

    suze: sure, yeah... i am waiting for a call from Abercrombie and Fitch any time now...

    dale: oh hell no! think Charleton Heston saying from my dead cold hands!

    Captain: can i hire you out to do all my blog comments? it would save me lots of time!

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
