1 MM

The past 2 weeks, the wound clinic has told me that one of the wounds on my leg healed by 1 millimeter. I was curious to know what that converted to in inches. Well here is the answer. 1 millimeter = 0.0393701 inches. No wonder I don't see a huge difference. I guess 1 MM is better than none. I just hope it's not 1 mm per week, because it will take a lot longer to heal than I have patience for.

Father's day


Even though my dad passed away 9 years ago, he is still very close in my heart. My dad and I shared many things. We both love to work with our hands. He loved to paint and wallpaper and build things and I was right by his side. I learned a lot from him. We also shared a secret saying. When I was little, maybe 4 or 5, my dad started this game. At some point during the day he would whisper to me " I love you, I beat you." What the game was about, was to see who would say I love you first during the day. No one in the family knew what we were saying to each other, they just knew that we had something special. After I moved out on my own, we didn't play the game, but every once in a while, when we would be talking on the phone, one of us would remember to say it. My dad has been on my mind a lot lately. I know if he was still here, he would be taking care of me right now. I miss him.

I hope all father's had a wonderful day today.

Roses



When I went out on the patio this morning the roses were in full bloom. I cut one and brought it inside. They smell very nice.

Roses are starting to bloom



Even though the roses are not quite what I wanted, they are still pretty and have a nice scent

New Website


I am in the process of creating a new website. WWW.careblankets.com. This will be the new name of my charity. Hope to be able to donate 50 blankets by the end of the year. I'll let you know when the site is up.

Wound Care news

Went to my wound care appointment this morning and the wounds are a little smaller and not as deep, which is the most important. So 2 weeks in a row with an improvement. I don't have to go back for 2 weeks.

Misty hates lights in her eyes


Misty hates it when the lights are in her eyes and she's trying to sleep, so she covers her eyes with her paw

Flowers


Had lunch with a co-worker today and she brought me these flowers.
