A FUTZINGDAY UPDATE


 

Dearies, I miss my old Futzingdays of yore. 

Remember when Stewey and I would awaken on a Wednesday and await what shenanigans were upon us? I seem to remember always looking forward to the mid-week point of things, and even though nothing was ever accomplished it felt great to progress through one more day and get closer to a week's end.

I suppose I am melancholy because I have big hard serious scary stuff coming at me from all directions. Most of it is medical...some of it is just situational...but all of it is stuff that I just wish would either get here and go already or just take a big detour and leave me alone.

Dr Yaqub, my transplant nephrologist, will be here tomorrow to poke and prod, and I've got a list a mile long of questions and observations and requests for him. I'm pretty sure he'll just pay attention to the kidney parts and leave all of the other stuff to other specialists, but I have some small hope that he'll just grab the ball and play quarterback for a minute.

Sorry to dump and run. I just need a few happy thoughts flung my way if y'all have a minute. 

In the meantime...back to Alphabets I go!

  1. I've always enjoyed your futzing day idea, a nice way to consider the middle of the week. I'm sorry to hear you have a lot of scary things coming up. I know you've been feeling so bad for a long time now, I really hope that your doctors can figure it out and you can start feeling good again. Sending prayers for good health, comfort, and peace.

  6. I enjoy your blog posts so very much, reading them is like having a lovely chat with an old friend. I find futzingdays gives my mind an opportunity to step away from the problems of life and for a few moments immerse myself in things that I love (like all things cross stitch). Prayers and good thoughts coming your way!

  14. Praying for you. You are amazing strong woman. What you've gone through these last few years (I wrote tears) would have put other people on the ground not able to get back up.

  15. Futzingday you say eh? Well, I just ironed two patches onto 4 yr old grandson’s Lowe’s Official “make it take it home club” construction apron. The little apron is made of some kind of fabric(?if you can call it fabric) that would melt at the first pass of the iron. Not wanting to disappoint grandson or son, I read up on the process and even watched a you tube. I was surprised at the number of conversations there are out there about this very subject! Lol. I did get them attached, no melting occurred and if and when they fall off I was assured by others to just use glue.How’s that for a futz? 🙂 I’m sorry ,so sorry life continues to use you like its own personal piñata. And I miss Steweytoo Coni. Hang in there sweet woman. We are all in your corner. ❤️🍀

  16. Just hope your Dr is open to "fully" discussing your concerns and has some viable answers for you. 2025 has presented some unexpected situations for some, when the New Year was hoped to be a true fresh beginning...The weather has not helped to alleviate things. Just hold on to being positive and use your futzing days to break the stress. This new project is a beauty and your speed of progress is awesome. Continued prayer for all
    good things to rest in your heart.

  18. If only one of us could send you a miracle! We would if only we could find the right internet site. We will just pray until we find that golden spot,

  19. I’m really hoping you will find good definitive answers to what the issues are and that some ONE will take the lead to oversee all the treatments and plans for healing. It is so hard and frustrating to have pain but no one to have answers for moving forward. (We have faced this for months with my husband.) You and your doctors have my prayers and many cyber hugs coming your way!
