V.J.’s Weekly Challenge #47: In-Between
“Shouldn’t be long,” I tell Ric before passing through into the rows of examining rooms. The receptionist who called yesterday, saying there was a cancellation, suggested this was just a consult and preliminary examination. My health has been declining since long before we returned home.

Read MoreA Triggered Response
Don’t know about you, but I read each post with a slightly different eye this week, looking for one that provoked a response.

Read MoreFarewell to Farewells
Total exhaustion has taken hold. Brain is fried, emotions taut, body shot. Monday as we prepared to pull out, my right leg collapsed and as I reached out to stop the fall, I grasped with my left arm, wrenching an already torn shoulder. It did not bode well for the trip home. With a dead […]
