Kim of the Dead

Hello?

It's me!! Kim, back from the dead. No not really, I didn't die for real I just wanted to for a little while, but I'm allowed to go out and have a cocktail or four again and all of a sudden? Life's not so bad...

First of all, THANK YOU to all of you for all of the nice, warm, loving thoughts you've expressed in here, and the private emails as well. I wasn't allowed to do much of anything during my recovery and one of the worst things was being banned from my computer. I've been in physical therapy for a couple of weeks now, so the doc has given me a green light for the keyboard again. Being away was terribly hard for me, know that, but Jeffee IS a caretaking NAZI and it simply was impossible.

Ok. You know I love to post pictures, so here you are:

TA-DA!!!! My Neck!



I'm actually kinda thrilled about this scar, as it eliminates the big problem of what to be for Halloween. I'm just going to add a couple of bolts sticking out of each side and maybe some green face paint. I am still terribly stiff and cannot turn my head very much so acting like Frankenstein won't really be a stretch for me. Alright then.


Sitting around on my fat ass all this time was torture. I am not known for such things as patience, idle time, or long bouts of television viewing. As a diversion, I started crocheting again. I made four blankets, three scarves and two hats. This is Lily in one:


And in another:

And then the chunky little thing learned to crawl and didn't give a crap about hats or blankets.


Anna had another skating competition and won another medal:

And is skating this weekend at The Q during halftime for the Lake Erie Monsters Hockey game.

Sarah turned eighteen and then promptly pissed off the entire family:


Krissteen sent me these pretty flowers:


And Chris and DB sent us this picture of Jeffee and I while we were visiting them in Hawaii two years ago:


I've done almost all of my Christmas shopping, thank God, and even managed to plan a menu for Christmas day. We're asking each kid to cook something to take the pressure off of me, but that's scary all by itself and I'm not so sure this was such a good idea.

Poor Jeffee has weathered the storm that is Kim bored, recuperating, and on pain meds. He doesn't come straight home from work these days...

I haven't had a fucking cigarette in two months (takes a huge bow).

All in all, things are going well and it feels good to be back among the living.

Thanks for hanging in there with me everyone, you know I love you for it.

Talk at ya soon...
