Warning: contains available light photography. Redoable life – putting the brain back together after a stroke. Recrudescence – to become raw again. February 24th, 2015. I haven’t on the blog for awhile because I’ve been on holiday. Well, if you count 365 plus days of time off as holidays. Truth is, I’ve been lazy. Then this week, there came fluttering into my inbox a personal message from Anu Garg of wordsmith.org. My personal word guru. He said unto me: Recrudescence. That is what I am doing. I should m...

Warning: contains available light photography. Redoable life – putting the brain back together after a stroke. Walking for science, discovering victims of violence or Plan C? December 4th, 2013. Me thinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow Henry David Thoreau. Well, I don’t need the discipline, thank you. Also I use a walking stick (not the medical variety, the country walking. Kind), because I also get an upper arm workout for my stroke-affected right side. We go one to two...

The Pink House on the Corner : Today
http://pinkhouseonthecorner.blogspot.com/2015/07/today.html
The Pink House on the Corner. Our Journey After Bob's Stroke. Friday, July 17, 2015. My friend, Lori, arrived late Wednesday and yesterday we went out to lunch and pretty much spent the day catching up. Today, she went with me to pick up Boomer's "cremains". I put Boomer's box of ashes, along with his collars, next to Bob and Zenith. My little memorial table grows cluttered. And then Lori removed Boomer's dog bed, anti-slip rugs, etc. from the living room because I could not bear to do it. I hope you and...

The Pink House on the Corner. Our Journey After Bob's Stroke. Friday, November 28, 2014. Unkinking The Garden Hose" and Other New Therapies. This trainer is exactly opposite and is taking things slowly. Starting with Bob's neck and what the PT calls "unkinking the garden hose":. The trainer also says that Bob is not ready to stand up and walk yet. He needs to work on strengthening all the individual muscles needed for the job first:. And this PT has not given up on Bob's paralyzed right arm/hand. I had t...

The Pink House on the Corner. Our Journey After Bob's Stroke. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. And Boomer is gone. Much like Bob, my other blonde boy, Boomer passed away in his sleep. This time, I was prepared, I guess, I knew and kissed Boomer goodnight, last night, and told him I loved him and he was a "good boy". Still it's hard. So very hard. July 15, 2015 at 9:46 AM. Diane, I am so sorry to hear about Boomer. Big hug! July 15, 2015 at 9:55 AM. Sorry for your loss. July 15, 2015 at 11:53 AM. Im so, so sorry.

http://pinkhouseonthecorner.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
The Pink House on the Corner. Our Journey After Bob's Stroke. Monday, October 27, 2014. So, I put The Green Machine up for sale. I tell you, this was not an easy decision. But I figured it was best for the car, you know, instead of sitting on the street and rusting to death. So I did it again. And again. And finally, the third time, it really did get posted. Finally, I gave up and slapped the sign under the windshield wipers. THE RADIO CAME ON FULL VOLUME AND NEARLY BUSTED MY EAR DRUMS OPEN! The next off...

The Pink House on the Corner. Our Journey After Bob's Stroke. Sunday, December 28, 2014. Thursday was Christmas Day, and that morning, while other folks were gathering around the tree opening presents, my day started out as usual, with me leaping barefoot out of bed to catch the feeding pump before the pump alarm goes off, then, on my way, slipping and sliding in a pile of wet dog poop. But alas, it was not meant to be, at least not yet. For not a half hour later, I hear a cry for "HELP! I mean, the thin...

The Pink House on the Corner. Our Journey After Bob's Stroke. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. So, I'm trying to decide which plot I've landed in - - comedy or tragedy? Here's the plot outline so far -. Heroine's beloved husband dies. Not even a month later, the beloved cat dies. Meanwhile, the old beloved dog is at death's door. Heroine gets a rescued yellow dog to cheer her up. Then promptly, heroine trips over said yellow dog and breaks her arm in two places. I'm not making this up. So which is it? I'm told I ...
