NANA DIANA SUMMER UPDATE
THANK YOU
to all of you that have
reached out to me!
I guess I owe everyone an update!
Hubby has been dealing with a lot of health issues.
Serious issues. Issues that keep him in bed
for days at a time.
He passes out when he stands,
sometimes he is so dizzy, even sitting,
that he doesn't want to get out of bed.
This is not vertigo-nothing like that.
His blood pressure plummets at a
moment's notice.
Sometimes his BP is 60s/30s.
It's crazy.
The dr's say none of it makes sense.
I don't remember the last time
we did anything together except watch
shows on Prime or Netflix.
Mayo has accepted him as a patient
BUT
after talking to them last week,
it could be six to nine months
before they will be able to see him.
Meanwhile, they have changed his medications
several times with no improvment.
All of his tests are normal,
EEG/EKG/CT SCANS/BLOOD WORK/LIVER FUNCTION/HEART/LUNGS
All normal-No cancer SOOOOO--What is it?
Meanwhile,
I have been doing several things
around our condo complex.
A friend and I started a women's group
(WOW-Women of Webster).
We have a monthly luncheon, card games,
a book club, etc.
We are opening an Etsy shop soon-
so stay tuned for that.
There is a nice clubhouse and
a huge pool here so I am able to stay active
when I know Hubby is taken care of
and won't get up while I am out.
It works for us----because it has to!
SCRUFFY.
We get at least 3 miles a day in unless it's raining.
He doesn't like to get his feet wet
but thinks nothing of rolling in the mud.
He keeps me happily entertained
for hours on end..on end...on end.
He has no OFF button....
Thank God for a grandson that
likes to play with him.
I need to get after my garden areas because
they need to be divided and moved
but will probably wait until Fall now.
They ARE lush and gorgeous though.
I did get most of my flowers in
around the front courtyard.
So, my friends, there you have it.
And, in case you are wondering,
I still have my wicked sense of humor.
I need it on those day when I wake up
to a mess like this!
A closet rod and shelf collapsed!
A good time to sort thru old clothes maybe?
Maybe overload on the pole?
Darn dog- I told him that was too much weight!
I will try to stay a bit moreconnected.
Maybe I'll show you the cute
little number I am wearing for the
Fourth of July.....

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY-BRING THEM HOME
This is one of the most beautiful tributes
Tuesday, May 14, 2024
MAYDAY! MAYDAY!! MAYDAY!!!
Hooray- Hooray
She never drove a car
a lightly wooded area
Today,I know that
SWEET VIOLETS
in pretty pastel colors.
Oh- How I loved MAY DAY
We would pick big bunches
and we would plop them
a slice of fresh baked bread
slathered with butter
and homemade strawberry jam.

I would go home
with my hands clutched full
I would be smiling
My brother, Charlie, who is
smiling down from Heaven,
had a special poem
JUST FOR ME.
It went like this:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I thought I was ugly
Until I saw you.
Yes- Oh- the fond memories
that take me back to childhood.
I would stick my tongue out
MAY FLOWERS
on the counter
to celebrate the
MAY DAY.
source
So-CELEBRATE TODAY
~ JUST CELEBRATE~
CELEBRATE TODAY IN MAY.
SHOUT IT
loud and clear
MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!
Did you know that if you shout MAYDAY
three times in a row
the international signal
Be careful-
Be.very.careful.
You know what THAT means,
You may get someone
