I missed a post!!!!!  Five days after my accident was my appointment with the orthopedic surgeon.  Even though I had to wait quite awhile past my appt. time to get called back…once I did, things could not have gone any better!  Bright Spot – Every person that I saw was personable, funny, knowledgeable and compassionate! Dr. Scott McGinley was great.  After we chatted for a few minutes, he said he had an idea that I was NOT going to be a well behaved patient!  His wife is Italian too!  The voice of experience…lol Lisa, who fitted meRead More

     Easter Sunday morning Marie, her cousin Sue and I went to the beach for a few hours.  The weather was absolutely perfect!!!  While Marie and Sue hauled all the equipment and set it up, I hobbled much further down the beach than before!  It was great…nothing short of a miracle!  Funny how we take simple things for granted when all is well.  For example, walking…to walk on the sand with crutches, I have to place each crutch into the sand down as far as it will go, make sure my shoulders and hand grips are in place, leanRead More

Modifications & Accommodations Week      So, Marie and I are busy making the necessary adjustments of her having a temporary live-in incapacitated friend and me being here in a totally different way than was originally planned.  Plan A was to come here and go to the beach every day, travel south to the Everglades and Key West together, etc., etc!  Well, we ARE making memories….that’s for sure!  LOL Awesome boot, huh? Van-Go and the ‘Breeze” at their temporaryresidence.        My tub seat, hand rail, and extended shower head arrived yesterday to accommodate my new requirements for showering…omg! Read More

     Once upon a time, an otherwise intelligent woman exercised a rather silly non-thought-out move and wiped up the asphalt with parts of her body!  YES…I attempted to scratch my right ear with my left hand while riding my scooter at 35 mph.  All the questions you are asking yourself about that decision of mine, I have already asked myself and I can save you some time and energy…there is no reasonable answer!       Given the fact that I lost control of the bike, wobbled for who knows how long while I tried and landed in the opposingRead More

The babies are here…The babies are here! A couple weeks ago, I posted a series of pictures about the ‘watching’ of the bald eagle eggs that were laid on Valentine’s Day!.  Well, those precious eggs have hatched (one the 22nd and the other a couple days later) and new to this world are two more magnificent bald eagles!  Observing the parents feeding their babies has been delightful!  Though I can’t post the vids, I was able to capture a few still shots to share.  All you need to do to see the live cam though is to Google ‘live eagleRead More

     Carol was sweet enough to lend Chris to me for a few hours in the morning on Sunday…lol!  He and I climbed aboard his gorgeous 850 lb. Harley-Davidson with the St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum as our destination!  Chris and me ready to ride! The lighthouse      I can hardly describe how much fun that was for me!  I’m used to my tiny scooter where I have to be totally focused every second and get only snippets of scenery as I drive along.  This time I was able to sit back and relax and catch every wonderfulRead More

         I arrived at my cousin Chris’s house around 2:30 ish on Friday.  It was so great to see him again!  We figured that it just may have been 47 years since we were together!  We were 12 and 14!  When we saw each other though, it was like we had never been apart!      He and I and his wife Carol talked and talked and laughed for hours!  Then we all jumped in Chris’s truck and went to Food Truck Friday to get some grub!  Several food trucks were lined up on the lot byRead More

  Kilts and bagpipes! Dignitaries, children and random guyswith humongous beads around their neck! Budweiser and the Clydesdales! Awesome dudes with spectacular hats!!! Outrageous characters!    Parade day finally!!!  Walking from the shuttle to my bleacher seat was an amazing sea of green…50 shades of green at least…LOL  Babies, children, teens, adults, pets…a beautiful array of race, gender and nationality could be seen with a slight turn of the head!  Everybody is IRISH on St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah!  It was great! A smile of… …being appreciated  The most memorable parts of the parade for me were: 1 – theRead More

A wonderful program…apparently this isnot the FIRST such event in Savannah! Fun take-off on the Dr. Seuss…Thing 1 and Thing 2I saw several groups wearing these! Green is the only logical choice!!! LOL Yummy!  Do you know thatthey had carob treats for dogs,but not for people…bummer! This place had only ‘old school’ stuff The streets all looked cool like this “Free beads with purchase”They were ALL green when I got them! The missing green on some of the beads…ON MY NECK!!!!!  I drove into downtown Savannah on the Breeze to check out the area and get a sense of whereRead More
