People often say to me things along the lines of how great I’m doing or something like that, and I reply with something like—-I’m doing what any wife would do. But then I’m reminded by stories I’ve heard and stories people tell me….that not everyone does. I can’t imagine though…running from it. I hear stories of wives (and husbands) that …

March 16 Today (wed) was suppose to be cruddy so I booked a River Tour in hopes of seeing dolpins and manatees. It was a really nice tour and we did see doplins…in fact one jumped up out of the water right in front of us. I actually really like hearing the history and seeing all the houses. I worried …

March 12th I’ve had lots of thoughts…but I don’t write. Events have happened…but I don’t write. I’m trying to chill…but its hard. My brain doesn’t know how to do that…my body doesn’t know how to do that. Even if I’m sitting still..it doesn’t mean I’m relaxed. We didn’t leave you…we just left you to go south. The loose ends became …

Your veins are like a river…if the flow gets clogged or something slows it up…it will find another route and create a way to flow. Monday we drove down to Davita so we could do dialysis there and keep working his fistula but it just wasn’t cooperating. In fact, I think she he had it put in in November (?) …

We had an appointment in the morning and then Ann Arbor (AA) in the afternoon so we couldn’t do dialysis in between which was a bummer but a skip day is always nice, however, that means a weekend day makeup (Sunday). We had to leave by 8:30 at …

From Mark: 02.01.2022. To Endure Discipline   My Daughter Cora says it’s time for me to write a gain.  It’s difficult for me to do much right now.  Especially anything that requires creativity.  I just want to close my eyes and rest, all the time.   This isn’t necessarily bad, the last couple of weeks  I needed to rest from …

Jan 31st So it truly is like…February. How the heck does that happen??!!! We had our Buick in the shop for over 2 weeks.

Jan 29th Yesterday we did dialysis at home and it went super smooth again, only one alarm, but Mark had low blood pressures all through it and after. We challenged his body two days in a row to get the fluid off and perhaps it just wiped him out. I had a great photo/video app of Mark in his chair, …
