dec 9 Right after the surgery he no longer felt the tingly numbness feeling in his legs. They told him he would be in alot of pain for 2-3 days. One NP gave us a different impression but I think from the ablation…he will feel more pain. They literally burned the tumor out. They inserted a coil for height and …
A Big Day Tomorrow.
December 6th It really is remarkable how much better Mark has felt (in his back) since last Monday. I could say it is because he is not wearing that brace or it could just be a bit miraculous! Tonight he lays on his back in our room with some really tight back muscles and a feeling of being “sore” but …
A good day
Dec 2 The day isn’t done but I barely remember waking up last night and we didn’t have to dialyze at the break of dawn. I made Hatcher breakfast and took him to school. A privilege we often take for granted. I’ve grumbled many times in the past about taking the kids in (especially in the winter) but it was …

November…nope December 1 Wow the time slides by now. Latest update on Mark’s physical health….Monday we went to a consultation for his back. I orginally thought this was a procedure because the last neurosurgeon made it sound pretty easy. An oupatient procedure…an injection really. We started talking Sunday night that this makes more sense to be an consult. The way …
From Mark:
Noember 28th A quick note from me… Our little blood pressure cuff talks to us. At first we thought it annoying. But its nice when we can just listen and put it into the ipad. I should name her. Give me names. Usually she says “according to the World Health Organization, your blood presssue is….” mild or high hypertension is …
We Turkeyed and We Trotted.
November 24th (Wednesday) seemed like an eventful and positive day overall. I mean, you all tell me to take this one day at a time so….I know if was just yesterday but I’m already getting foggy! So it was a high alarm day and I had that horrible tight gut nervous feeling when the machine alarmed 3x!!! during priming. Its …
“Mom, you missed them”
I said to Hatcher on the way to school today…”so you never have homework. Will I go to parent-teacher conference and find out you are failing or something?” Hatcher: mom, you missed parent-teacher conferences. ******************************* I came home and my friend was dropping a gift off from another friend. We had texted earlier and she said she would get cream …

November 18th Days blur quickly. The machine hums..almost always. There’s rarely a day without and appointment or a pressing issue. My dog won’t obey at all and I want to rehome him. Cora won’t let me (I’m half kidding) Mark can’t get a break. He is in so much pain. So much pain. Today radiating down his left leg. Very …
A Good Day
cuz we needed one! November 15th ** We left the hospital at 1/1:30 Saturday and headed home. Mark felt pretty good. Some friends came over with food and conversation and that was good for the soul. That morning, while Mark was in dialysis, I ran home to clean and my friend and a portion of her family joined me so …
