Unfortunately, June didn't treat us much kinder than May! After a major setback in David's shoulder, we are slowly but surely trying to regain momentum for a long fight ahead. He went back up north on July 11th to see a doctor who treated him successfully years ago, but after stabilizing David, running some blood tests and another MRI, David has now been referred to a specialist in St. Louis since his case is complicated. The doctor also wants David to see an infectious disease specialist since there could still be some infection, and affecting the bone. So, again we wait....which merely adds to the mental strain (and for David, physical agony) already suffered to date. Gradually moving forward helps somewhat, which thus far July has consisted of; it's the uncertainty and limbo that wears us down. With my own medical issues to deal with, it's been overwhelming to think much beyond functioning to get through the day.
We still maintain we are in the best place we can be to heal though!
I'll include below some tidbits of what I had in the original draft weeks ago:
It seems the bluebirds have more young already?!? We are seeing more in the nesting box, and were quite surprised to see more activity there so soon. Here is one doing while it's doing its daily run for insects!
Wrong! haha
Oh, and that worry about not seeing hummingbirds? Ha! The charm is swarming our front deck and we are rapidly going through the sugar for their nectar! If anyone plays the stock market, buy shares in sugar! haha
Thank you to those that contacted me for their concern, I will hopefully be updating "very" soon! I have missed writing! David has found a way to take photos, so it's not been all doom and gloom and we've had an exciting addition to our life here. More on that later... :)
Until next time....
Thanks for getting the blog going again PJ, it's a battle each day, and not even getting the chance to start to recover for another 3 weeks at least, has left me digging deep to keep up the spirits once again.
ReplyDeleteJust living in such beautiful countryside full of surprises every day does give me a big boost. This morning I looked out in the dark at 5am, there, under the pole light was a fawn munching on soy bean greens. I sat for a while and finally it went off in search of Mom (who was probably just in the shadows) Innocence, beauty and a rising sun over Kentucky. How could I not get well here?
