I’m happy to say my two-week post hysterectomy day came and went and brought with it a nice relief from pain. My pain has changed from an all-encompassing deep ache to a more shallow general soreness. It’s much easier managed with ibuprofen and I went the entire day yesterday without a single painkiller. Just two…

I am ObamaCare
This is the ORIGIN of the “I am ObamaCare” picture. I’m the one who wrote it, photographed it and posted it on October 20, 2011. That’s me in the picture. This is my story. I never knew my simple “I am Obamacare” image would wind up all going viral on every corner of the web!…
New fuzzy throw
Here is a shot of the super fuzzy and ultra soft blue throw my sister brought over for me as a surprise gift when she visited me Monday. The color looks weird in the living room light but its really a nice blue. Also shown are the glitter pens and Godiva chocolate bars she got…
Post-Hysterectomy Day 9
Had a hard time getting to sleep last night. Wound up being awake until like 2am. I haven’t been up past about midnight since this all started. I was so exhausted from the outing to the doctor yesterday and I didn’t take a nap when I got home or anything but for some reason, I…
Flowers
Flowers that Love's parents brought me on Sunday. Forgot to post them until now. Hey in my defense, I have been on narcotics! 🙂 Aren't they colorful? Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
Post Hysterectomy – Day Five
Still hanging in there. Still swollen and sore. Weak but getting more mobility. Transitions continue to be easier. (Sitting to standing and standing to sitting.) Tried to cut back on my pain meds Saturday but it was too soon. That was a bad day pain wise until the percocet finally kicked in. Yesterday, I took…
Last Pre-Surgery Weekend – 3 Days to Go
This weekend was the last before surgery. And since last week was so busy with appointments and since this week is busy with more appointments and well, surgery, we decided to try and have a little bit of fun. Saturday, October 1st was the 40th anniversary of the opening of Walt Disney World. I wanted…
Bath Towels
Our poor bath towels. At one point they were quite nice. Sadly that point was awhile ago now and towels surely have not been a priority recently. They look sadder and sadder every wash. Oh well. Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
The Princess (Cat) And The Pea
Nothing much to report from this weekend. Love had miserable vertigo again and I’m still trying to figure out what this flu-like symptoms without the flu thing is, so we really didn’t do much. So instead, let me post an obligatory cat picture. This is Gracie doing her Princess And the Pea impression. (Click for…
Big Cat Rescue
Had an amazing time at Big Cat Rescue with my Mom and Sister today. First time taking the tour. I really applaud their goal – to put themselves out of business by changing laws and stopping irresponsible breeders and such so there doesn’t have to be a sanctuary for abused cats. The tour guide even…
Surrounded by kitties
Mika sprawled on my lap and Gracie curled up on the footstool against my feet. Lol Kitties, kitties everywhere! Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
Clearly Time For A New Picture
My insurance plan sent this little booklet of 30 days of healthy living tips. Day 6 was to “schedule time for rest and relaxation” and came with this image: Clearly this booklet was made awhile ago. When was the last time you saw a PDA like this? (edit: apparently back in 1997 with it’s mindblowing…

Kitties on the Bed
Just because the girls haven’t been on the blog for awhile (these days it’s all bills, medical issues and health updates!) I thought I was overdue for a picture. Here are both girls taking over my entire side of the bed. That would be “Fat Tabby” Mika (aka “Mika One Fang”) in the back and…
