It’s 8.40 am in my part of the world. Vince has gone off to have some tests. He has to drink some radioactive stuff and is joking that he’ll glow in the dark when he comes home. I’ll let you know if that’s the case.
He has to...

Deborah-Diane Hi @JudyEv - I have had that test, and also had to avoid being around certain people. At our local hospital, they even have one specific restroom that is designated for use only by people getting that PT scan. They discovered that I had a small lung cancer...

In the photo, you can see a gadget Vince brought home with him from the coronary care unit at the hospital.
Several times a day he has to suck on the tube and get the three balls to rise to the top of their cylinders. The first...

I’ve just come home from visiting Vince in hospital. He’s been moved to a private room which took them two hours. He is still hooked up to oxygen but has various tubes attached so they can check this and that as needs be. He is...

Deborah-Diane @JudyEv - That is such good news that Vince has been moved to a private room. I love the group that he belongs to that donated the bikes to the children. I remember that years ago he went to another country to help them dig wells. What wonderful things you...

My husband has been in hospital since Monday and has had major heart surgery. As you can see, at that point, he had a number of tubes attached to his body but some have been removed now.
I’ve been to see him each day and with...

I went to see Vince in hospital this morning. I managed to find the entrance to the car park and found an empty spot but the bays were very tight. Luckily I have a smallish car. I was able to pay with coins so that was good. I...

The social committee at our village held a sausage sizzle on Sunday. We had intended to go but then decided it wasn’t a good idea to be in a crowded place when Vince was heading into hospital next day.
We told the organisers we...

The photo has nothing to do with the text.
Once again our plans have been changed and Vince will now go into hospital on Monday and have open-heart surgery the next day. It was to have been today but was put off for three weeks....

Deborah-Diane @JudyEv - Surprised to hear from me? It has been months since I was active here. My husband became very sick, and it was very time-consuming to take care of him. Then, he died on March 20, and I've been busy with all the legal things that needed to be done....

My husband was walking yesterday and twisted his foot. He said his hip hurt after that; so they took some X-rays. Everything is still OK and in place.
I spoke with the Social Worker yesterday to tell her to fax the Referral...

Deborah-Diane @LadyDuck - I'm starting to get back on MyLot, again. I just put a revised edition of Wyatt's obituary here. I will start popping in more, now. All my old notifications were wiped out. I guess I was gone too long. There is certainly a lot of world news we...

I went to the grocery store had scored some eggs, bacon and other essentials. I had eggs and bacon for breakfast. Kitty had dry food. But I did get her some wet...

American politics are pretty funny. Funny gaga, not funny haha.
I remember seeing some black lady hug Trump at one of his "appearances" among the unwashed masses.
Now the Lefties are alleging that the whole thing was staged,...

Deborah-Diane @TheHorse - You would think that today, with all the ways we can track people and report on them, we would be able to learn the truth. Instead, with so many ways that people can lie and conceal the truth, I find that I don't believe anything I see or read...

A myLot member suggested we share photos of our favourite Christmas ornaments.
The pair of ornaments in the photo were both given to me when I was helping with data entry in the archive department of a school. They are examples...

Many people have a bucket list, things they hope to experience or do in their lifetime. I do, I know. But I never thought about it in reverse before. There are things I wouldn't mind never having to experience again, for sure....

Deborah-Diane @MarieCoyle - I NEVER want to go skydiving! I'm not even sure I would be comfortable in a hot-air balloon. I have heard about some terrible accidents. I went zip-lining once, and that was scary enough. I guess I like having my feet firmly on the ground,...

What if I have chosen the career I was truly interested in when I was younger? Would I have been able to write books and become a published author?

Deborah-Diane @Jenaisle - I think it is normal to "what if." However, we should not linger on those thoughts too long. We need to focus more on the life we are actually living. If something in it makes us unhappy, then we should take steps to change it. If something...
