Hay everyone...it has been a rough ride around here. Last Feb The Great One (Ozzie) had a minor stroke..It is the kind related to hypertension called a lacunar ( sp) stroke. It didn’t present like you would think..he had no visual disturbance or drooping..just when he got up to walk his leg felt funny and wobbly..but with diabetic neuropathy we just thought it was related to that..but in the morning he was having a hard time walking so I took him to the hospital and after 2 days of intense testing it was a tiny stroke. He has recovered from that. The only tell tale sign is his handwriting is smaller. He is now on insulin too and tetting that regulated was a challenge but he is getting the hang of it with better readings.
We were to go to Italy last year but he had femoral bypass surgery so that trip got canced..but next month if all continues to go well we are off to Iceland. The kids who have property there are taking us to see their cabins north of the artcic circle..That should be good for photos!
Valerie and you photo techies will have to teach me how to post pictures..I got a digital camera for my birthday last year..a nice Nikon D80 and I just added an Nikon D300 to the pack with my 6 lenses..the only problem with so many neat lenses is you want to use them all at once sometime...But I don’t know how to post pictures..
Taco the cat..who survived fibrosarcoma cancer 5.6 years ago is now 19..he is a little slower but still a real Romeo..and quite the alarm clock with his 0500 kitty kisses in the morning.
It is hot here on the central coast..in SLO county it is over 100 today and still really hot and for those who don’t know it, we don’t have AC here.
I must pop in here more than I have lately..
Be back so keep pinging.
