I haven’t had a lot of good news in the past few weeks. Today, I had some. So, while I’m trying to limit my posting as not to bug people too much, I couldn’t wait to share this. I had an appointment with my nephrologist today. After examining me, reviewing my labs over the last…

I wasn’t going to post today, but I had some good news (for a change). I will say, and the day is not over yet, that today is my best day in weeks. For one, the effects of chemo has past. Also, I don’t know until I get labs in the morning, I feel my…

I am really going to cut back on these “Ramblings” posts. Right now, there is so much on my mind, and frankly, I’m bored. I have a very limited range in what I can physically. I have let the topic of when God doesn’t Answer Prayer, rest for now. I am a movie buff. We…

I’m trying to do this from a dialysis machine. There’s not a good place to sit my tablet and I have one hand tied up. But we will see how this works. I finished my first round of chemo yesterday (4 treatments). I sailed through the first three treatments with very little as far as…

I haven’t given up this on discussion but have only set up the framework.

I’m not going to do this every day. But, thanks to pray and a new little pill (which I only have 10 of) I slept a good 7 1/2 hours plus a 2 hour nap today after dialysis. Still a lot of catching up to do. This was a godsend. Doing my own driving back…

I said that when I write my ramblings,  they would be about thoughts, which reside inside my head, that look scary when you put them on paper. I will start with one of the most scary discussions. I have been accused, often, of being an over-sharer. I know when I wrote my book Butterflies in…

UPDATE: If you are skimmer, I will put bullet points at time and details at the bottom, if you want more. I’m still vertical. I’m still having to do dialysis three times a week as we are still hoping for my own kidneys to come back.  Keep praying for my kidneys to heal! Treating cancer…

UPDATE: I got up with some energy. Worked too hard around the house and crashed by noon. Didn’t think I would make it outside today. After a 2-hour rest in bed, we finally made it to the beach. So, my day’s objectives met. Rambling My Vice of Choice: Envy Most of us choice our vices…
