Darci has been ill for the last several weeks, but feels somewhat better today, so we are going to try to blog. K - her fellow plogger

Welcome back! Sorry it has been so long, but I have been too sick to do much. The seizures have stopped; they have put in a new trach, which makes it nearly impossible for me to talk, but it makes it easier for me to breathe.
In the midst of all this I got pneumonia and then I started bleeding into my colostomy bag and went to the hospital. In the emergency room, we had a lot of fun; one guy was Polish and one guy was Irish. One guy was singing and dancing; the other was singing a little. I spent 11 hours in the emergency room; I went in at 4 p.m. and finally got a room at 3 a.m. They ran some tests, X-rays, EKGs and stuff like that, and by that point I sort of conked out. They let me sleep for awhile. I woke in a lot of pain. Just as I was pressing the call light for the respiratory therapist, she came walking in. She gave me some useful suction and later a breathing treatment. I went back to the nursing facility that afternoon. They said that I did not have to have surgery right then, but that I could return to the clinic at any time.
And someone would call and make an appointment. That was last Thursday, and so far no one has called to set an appointment, so I don't know what's happening.

To refresh people's memories, I had a wonderful birthday which I celebrated early on June 25th. It was my sister-in-law Mim's birthday, so we celebrated together. Many friends came and I got wonderful gifts, including some new clothing.

Still working on my committment ceremony, trying to get things together. I need help coordinating people and getting things together. The ceremony is to be on September 17th.

That's pretty much it for now. Until next time...

Love always, Darci
