For those following Buddy’s surgical drama, he is home and doing well. He had his spinal fusion done on October 26th, at the Nemours DuPont Children’s Hospital. We checked into the Ronald McDonald House the night before, as his surgery was slated for 6:30 AM, and with a 2 hour drive, leaving from PA was not […]

It seems sometimes that the updates are just spreading farther and farther apart. I post things here and there on Facebook, sometimes Twitter or Google+, but nothing in depth. Time at the computer gets crazy, and pain keeps me from crafting too much. (Thus the lack of craft updates.) I spent my two long awaited

It has been a while, so I figured I would post something. Cryptic comments on Facebook don’t always cut it. As for me, I am healing still. Because the surgery was full open, it is a bit slower going. I had a bout with infection, so I was doing wound care for a bit with

It has been about a year and a half since posting my original Android App Picks blog entry. I have had numerous emailed comments on it, and thought it was about time that I followed up with a more modern and relevant list. Since my original post, my LG Ally was replaced with an HTC Droid Incredible

It is ironic. I was excited for this summer. We are finally getting a real vacation after four years. (All other previous attempts failed, mostly due to sicknesses, and last year due to my husband’s strike.) I was looking forward to this year’s season pass to Dorney Park; with no open incisional wounds, I can
As mentioned in my last entry, Buddy was referred for a consult with a new surgeon. (At the same hospital, but in a different practice.) The good news was that he agreed with Doctor #2 that Buddy NEEDS the surgery. The bad news? He will NOT do it. At least he was a little more

It’s been almost a month, and life has been nothing but a blur of medical appointments. Between me, and Buddy….and the dentist appointments for everyone. I can tell you, even with medical insurance, the co-pays add up! I think it would be different if all we had to worry about was yearly physicals and a

Well, some good news for a change. The insurance mess I mentioned previously has been resolved…kind of. They did (FINALLY) retro us back to January of 2011. (Come on, it WAS their mistake. I don’t understand why we had to take it to the union to get them to do that!) But now comes the
Once again, it has been a big gap between my last posting and now. But, boy do I have some updates! You know, “You take the good, you take the bad…” To start with, in general for everyone, we have had a big mess with our insurance. We did not discover the full scope of

I just have not gotten the chance to update on Buddy. With my last update, I mentioned he was going into a brace. Well, after paying the co-pay on this brace, and having it custom made, he complained the pain was worse. So just like that, the doctor took him out of it, and that
