The negative: Mr. B going into heart failure. Major heart surgery. Going almost completely blind from the heart medication. So many Dr's appointments, many at one of the best hospitals in the country, only to be told there is nothing they can do. Anomalies in his blood. Small brain tumor. Now, major shoulder surgery.
In the mean time, I had two mini-strokes. Also had foot surgery.
The positives: Mr. B's heart surgery is a success. The anomalies in his blood are at the watch stage, not to worry about at this time. The brain tumor is tiny and doing no harm. The shoulder surgery went well and he is healing.
My mini-strokes caused no physical damage or problems. At times I do find talking (finding the correct words and putting them in the right order, work) It's getting better with time. Also, our oldest son married. We flew to Olympic National Park in Washington to watch him say his vows in the mountains. Love our new daughter-in-law. Our daughter married her love in a legal ceremony and will repeat their vows in May next to the lake at our home. Will follow with a big party. Love our new daughter-in-law.
The doctor and I have decided to slowly stop a medication I've been taking the last couple of years. Feel so much better mentally. The stories are starting to whisper in my ear. Reese is talking about returning to the hacienda. Lets hope life keeps going toward the positive and calms down.
That's my update for my absences. Life is good. Savor every moment. Be open to seeing the smiles and butterflies.

Hugs to you and Mr. B. Congratulations on all the happy nuptials. I can't wait to read all the stories that are talking to you again. Be well and get well. Sending positive energy your way.
