Sorry for my delays in responding to you this week. Today is the anniversary of Chris’s surgery last year. She is calling it her re-birthday. One year ago she was on an operating table fighting to stay alive. Today, she is doing super good and even walked a 1/2 mile on Sunday.
In particular this week, Chris has had a hard time sleeping due to memories and PTSD issues. So we’ve been up for hours during the night. I am exhausted from lack of sleep. So if I am slow to respond to you the next few days, please forgive me. I will eventually get caught up. Thanks for your patience.
Here is what happens to our cars if we don’t drive or clean them during the winter months. Chris took this photo on her half mile walk.
For the Love of Challenges
I’ve gathered a list of challenges and their hosts. So if you know a challenge host, please direct them to my blog. Feel free to contact me anytime. I hope everyone will be able to use my lists.

Really hope things are now getting easier – the body does such a great job of remembering but it would be better if it didn’t sometimes!

Hi Becky, things are getting a little easier. I’m with you, sometimes I wish the body didn’t remember as much 😀 😀

I understand, Cee. When the anniversary of my husband’s stroke and seizure came around in January this year, I also had nightmares and felt very upset.

That is so common when one suffers a life changing illness and so does their partners. Our lives were altered so the mental part is huge. Our bodies remember physical changes and as far as I know bodies don’t look at calendars. It’s a real thing we all must adjust to. I hope you were gentle and continue to be gentle with yourself.
