Day 2

Last night was pretty rough. Sleeping has been quite challenging since I was hospitalized. My watch / health app keeps reminding me that I am not getting enough sleep.

So pissed off last night, I finally took a look at… Continue reading Hopefully Heading Home Today

The other items that I have to have will be the statins that stop… Continue reading Heading Home Tomorrow

Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays? I’ve been using my mother’s recipes for years for turkey/stuffing. I’ve made a few minor changes to them, but just minor tweaks.
