Internal Bleeding – It begins


Having an urge to pee is a new sensation after years of End Stage Renal Failure.  It wasn’t pee that came out.  It was blood.  Lots of it.  The toilet bowl turned red.  My heart turned black. What is happening?  Of course Franklin’s defense mechanism went up and downplayed the seriousness.  It was Friday night.  Over … Continue reading

Melt Down. Road Rash. Parental Guilt. Oh My!


With one passing comment from my lovely niece about missing knowing what’s going on in my life, it was enough to motivate me to write this post.  I get to see my loves every week, but it’s not the same.  They’re both in post-secondary education and add a boyfriend to boot, well, I’m just thankful … Continue reading

Late Night Feedings – Feed’em or Make’em Starve?


The kid’s are still suffering jet-lag.  Or at least that’s the line I’m categorizing it.  They’ve started to sleep till 5AM, but wake up starving.  I’ve tried the old “if you don’t eat now, you’ll be hungry later”.  Well, they are not hungry then.  They are hungry later.   They go to bed without dinner.  But, … Continue reading
