The Friday Five

This was an exceptionally busy week, and I will try to get it pared down to the top five!

1. Jack’s foot, toe area, I will now call a “Nubbin“. That pretty much describes what is left on the top of the foot. Kind of cute really. He was seen by the Vascular Surgeon, who had amputated it, to finally get the stitches out. When I was introduced, I heard an accent but could not place it. I asked, and he said he was born and raised in Berlin, Germany! He arrived in America when he was a freshman in High School. And he spoke no English. Well, considering that his English is perfect, and he went to High School, College, Medical School and then did his Residency, and Specialty and got Board Certified and is only in his mid 30’s, it is safe to say that he is incredibly bright. Jack and the doctor chatted in German while the stitches were removed.
2. The “Nubbin” looks good. I was commended for the care I had given it all this time. In fact everyone liked the way I had wrapped the “Nubbin” and foot with gauze. Now the stitches are out, he can shower, but still must keep it wrapped and he still cannot drive until he is fitted for special shoes. He also must use a walker and/or cane when he walks.
3. I had my hair done this week and wanted to go a bit darker, and a little more ash because my hair had gotten kind of reddish/blond. Although I liked the cute trim she gave me, my hair is currently almost BLACK! I have an appointment tomorrow to get the color “fixed”! I can hardly wait. I catch looks in a mirror as I pass and I startle myself every time!
4. It was back to Weight Watchers for me this week. Being as sick as I have been, I have now lost 32 pounds. I do not recommend losing the weight the way I did. Being that sick and unable to eat is pretty yucky. I have just about 20 pounds left until I reach my new goal weight. I do not want to be as thin as I was when I was 40. I will be 60 soon and well, I think I’m entitled to a few extra pounds.
5. Have you seen the documentary, “Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy“?                                                                                                                                                             It was made by Prince William and Prince Harry to honor their mother on the 20th anniversary of her death. They obviously were and still are devoted to their much loved mother. It is my hope that Diana will one day be honored for her role in British History. I think her sons will make sure she is.
