Wordless Wednesday – Sandy – A Man And His Dog – @OleanderBand
Two days ago marked six months since Hurricane Sandy plowed through our area. I simply cannot shake the thought of it this week. Maybe because it’s getting media coverage again. Or maybe it’s just because it’s still that bad. This is one of the photos that has stuck with me since that day. It was [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Vanellope Val And Her Only A Little Flabby Arms
Recently I was sent an email asking me some questions about my body following Lap band surgery, specifically if there was much extra skin. In my case, there really isn’t. That’s not to say there isn’t any, but there isn’t as much as I thought there would be. This picture of me wearing my new [...]
The One Year Mark
One year ago today my life changed. One year ago today is the day that I underwent lung surgery. At that time they thought it was cancer. Thankfully, it was not. I had half of my left lung removed, which is actually less than they thought they were going to have to remove. After surgery [...]
More On Surgery – An Empty Lap Band, Pain And Weight Gain
I had a nurse that came to the house the first week for wound care. The pain was incredible, the drugs barely took the edge off. My family and some friends were so wonderfully supportive, I don’t even know how I could have made it through without them. After surgery, and the unfilling of the [...]
