Giving Thanks, Day 8

By MaryO in Giving Thanks, Memories, Thankfulness

Today I am hugely thankful that the last major issue we had here was in 2013 when Tom had his heart attack. That event caused me to start a whole new blog to post about our experiences. Adapted from https://maryomedical.com/category/other-medical/bees-knees/ It all started on our 40th wedding anniversary, when I fell on my knee …

Happy Anniversary, 2024!

By MaryO in Holidays, Memories

Another anniversary rolls around, the 51th, to be exact. From last year’s t-shirts: I always like to check out this picture of our wedding expenses. We have it framed and sitting on our mantle. Tom paid $50.46 (blood tests and wedding ring!) and my costs (I made my own dress) were $29.25. We were lucky. …

By MaryO in Giving Thanks, Memories, Thankfulness

I am so thankful for all my doctors but today I am thankful for Dr. Amir Al-Juburi who saved my life by removing my kidney cancer (renal cell carcinoma). In 2006 I picked up my husband for a biopsy and took him to an outpatient surgical center. While I was there waiting for the …

40 Days of Thankfulness: Day One

By MaryO in Giving Thanks, Memories, Thankfulness, Thoughts

Several years ago I decided to try Facebook’s 40 Days of Thankfulness and I’m going to post all 40 days here since I know that it will auto-post to Facebook and my blogs. Although I have had several problems in my life (and who hasn’t?), I’m sure I can come up with at least …

Day 24: 40 Days of Thankfulness

By MaryO in Giving Thanks, Memories, Thankfulness

Today I am hugely thankful that the last major issue we had here was prostate cancer this summer. I haven’t talked/written much about that because I want to be sure that the radiation and Lupron have done what they’re supposed to and this beast is gone. Before that the last major issue was in 2013 …
