About Me

As if my health woes have not been bad enough in the last six months; I was watching tv the other night & went blind in my right eye. I semi-hysterically called my eye doc; they got me in to see the eye specialist right away & my retina is detaching from the rest of my eye ball (I am diabetic & this is not uncommon for us). Unfortunately, the eye specialist did not sound very optomistic about the eye surgery I need to have to possibly save what vision is left in my right eye. I'll be having surgery the week of Nov 5th. Not sure how long I will be down & out.

So, as luck would have it; I got admitted yet again to the hospital. I am hoping that the third time is not the charm. This time I had a small bowel obstruction but thank goodness I did not have to go to surgery but will have to eventually. I hope this string of bad luck ends soon. Thank you for your patience!!

I was recently admitted to the ICU for a week so I am a bit behind in my swaps but am making them up as fast as I can. My right hand/arm are really swollen from getting blood work & IV's & I am right handed so will be having tests done on them soon.

My sister passed away unexpectedly in September. I can not stress enough that women need to make sure they are getting their mammograms & female parts tested. It could save your life!!

.I tend to like music from the 70's & 80's artists like: Elton John, Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, Journey, Rod Stewart, Pet shop Boys, Queen, etc. Penatronix is a new to me group that I really like, also.

Favorite Television

Don't really tend to watch much tv. Masked Singer, Top Level Chef, college volleyball, etc.

Some movies I like are: Wizard Of Oz, Pretty In Pink, White Chicks, Lord Of The Rings, The Rose, The Accountant, Hocus Pocus, Venom, Dead Pool, Guardians Of The Galaxy.....

Favorite Crafts

Most of the crafting I do is with rubber stamps, clip art, recycled items. Mostly making ATCs & cards but want to learn how to journal & make flip books, too. Just not enough hours in the day!!

I like making mini pocket letters, ATCs, hand made post cards, scrapbook pages, chunky pages, very basic journaling, etc. I like going to thrift stores, dollar stores, yard sales to find goodies to craft with or recycle.

Comment: Thank you for the nice card and stickers. We will be having a house full as usual. Not sure about my sister, she usually does Christmas and rarely leaves the farm plus it's almost an hour's drive. My two nephew that we raised, my wife's son, and our daughter plus a married couple whose children have left the nest will probably be here, oh, I forgot my mother-in-law who lives next door. I am the youngest of six, three have already passed away. My father-in-law passed from Covid a couple years ago too. Shame, he and I had some great debates about religion and politics. I hope your family will at least bring you some good grub. Kind regards, Richard

I have a hearing next month and an attorney to help me, and a recent spinal MRI report that says words like "severe" and "increased" and "in addition to previous results". 🤞
