Hello pooh_ac…..and everyone
Johanna Banana checking in. I am enjoying the cool ocean breeze brought in by a late summer storm. I am thrilled to be at the end of the summer heat and great prospects of a no land fall hurricane season.

April & June were absorbed with home renovation work….I became stronger every day. By July I have closed out the sun and closed up the house to hibernate thru summer heat…I swam most every afternoon for a golden tan …stronger...down on my meds….all good. In Mid-August while boarding for a cruise I lifted a suitcase onto a conveyor belt and schlepped it and 3 handbags to my room….getting lost twice. In my own defense I did have friends set up to do this for me and they abandoned me in favor of the bar.

Anyway….I violated BLAST and WOW was I one sorry mess. Pain like…well you all know the monster….I was down for two days straight and when I did get up ready… set…make up on… let’s go look at this ship…..I could not get that darn door open!!!!…back to bed….tears; cursing; meds; threats to God, etc etc…the next morning I woke up and just knew I was on the mend….put my bathing suit on and went for a swim at 8 am…walked that ship and did all the basics…sleep/rest….before the cruise was over I found the lounge and had the greatest joy of dancing as if no one was looking for 2 hours. Doctor took a look ….SCS is fine….I aggravated my original nerve injury…so I am back up on the meds…back to basic BLAST…swim.....all will be well…

Last week I made a batch of habanero pepper jelly from peppers in my garden. I have two new baby birds (Cockatiels) this summer that have teamed up to be my jet pilots thru the house.

I am enjoying a wonderful sweet spot in my life….ever so grateful

Get some wet noodles......the swimming pool kind and beat those friends who abandoned you about the head and shoulders! How could they DO that??

Glad you are back to BLAST and managing the pain monster. I pray, yes I do pray, the pain monster be banished from you forever more.

Save me some of that Chili!!! I am hooked

Now you know.... I woulda come by to say Hi when in Dallas for the Bar. So sorry you felt so poorly as not to have been able to have visits. I was able to meet Fiona's hubby, and a fine gentleman he is!! That was way cool.

Anyway TK, back to you, I am prayin all will be well with you. Your events sound so heart wrenching. I am sorry this has happened in your life on this plane. May all of these things be well.
