Sunday Christmas Ramble

It's a slow progress for my GF. I pray it won't be too long into 2018 before she comes home. Speaking of 2018. As we approach this new year, it always seems that the current year has flown by. And 2017 is no exception. Scientifically every year is the same amount of time. With an extra day thrown in every 4 years for leap year. So it's something about us humans that read years differently in regards to time. For me and many of the friends I share this with here, it's as we get older in years that the years seem to go faster. At this point it feels like we skipped over the entire Summer this year to get here. I just want to thank my friends that are here at blogger and the plus for their love and prayers through a most difficult year. This will be my last ramble for the year.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 

This Sunday's Ramble

Not much to say today. Looks like a long recovery for my GF. But I will keep hoping she will be home for Christmas.

Have a wonderful week.......

A Wednesday Ramble

An update. My GF is in a rehab facility for Physical Therapy. It's going to be slow going since she was in the hospital for a long time. It's stressful for both of us. Thanks for your prayers my friends, they do help.
I took more time off work so I could be there for her and see how this place is. It seems to me these facilities for PT rehab are understaffed and not what you would consider great when you look at the medical profession over all. These types of facilities are also hospice places too. Anyhoo it's still going to be a long time for her to get back to where she was before her hospital stays. Plus this center is farther away that I have to use the highway to get there. For some reason there is a whole more traffic during the day than you would figure. I mean most people are working right? So part of the highway I am taking has a speed limit of 65 mph. Before the snow got here I would usually do around 70 mph. I was getting passed by a lot of cars like I was standing still. I figure that means they had to be going 80 or better mph. Driving is insane anymore. It's hard not to lose it with the dumb things people do while driving. That makes me think we have failed to educate well enough. For a rich country like ours we are failing miserably. Don't get me started on people who don't know what a turn signal is.
There's just 12 days until...start singing...

Sunday Ramble..

When it rains it pours. That's how the expression goes. Monday my GF is going to get a scan. Seems there is a blood clot in the fistula (the port in her arm where she is plugged in for dialysis). Hopefully it will go smoothly and it will be taken care of. She has a long way to go and I still have hope she will be home for Christmas. It's heartbreaking to see her in such a weakened condition. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers...till we meet again...
