My sis @angela26may always managed to make me *tear* in a way because it is true, I remember the first inspirational quotes that she sent me from @misssaywhatsreal It made me teared like there was no tomorrow, my sis always managed to remind me how worthy I am and I'm thankful everyday for her undying love and support...😚😚😚 I surprised my self everyday for being so strong throughout this storm☔️☔️☔️... For keeping my head up high and have that strong will to rebuilt... For everyday I wake up, I'm grateful for being alive, for given an opportunity for a second chance... It's not easy to wake up everyday carrying that heavy burden in your heart, but everyday I choose to be happy and appreciate life because I believe in God🙏 and I know he has something better in store for me... I will forever be grateful for this experience because it had made me to a woman I am today, although it hurts beyond imaginable, I managed to continue my life to a better state of mind... For now though, I will smile at uncertainties, laugh at confusions and dance in the storm for one day eventually the storm will pass and the sun will shine once again... #melissamolomo #heartbreaks #life #lifequotes #lifeexperiences #inspireothers #inspirationalquotes #makeadifference #inspirational #heartaches #movingon #newyou #betteryou #newbeginnings #startingover #bebetter #betterversionofyou #travelingtheworld #iloveme #loveyourself @angel12sweet25 #misssaywhatsreal #saywhatsreal #fearless #motivation #motivateothers - journeytomydestiny
September 20, 2023: I’m so exhausted today. I haven’t had a chance to pick up my two week supply of medicine and probably won’t get time to do it till tomorrow. Yesterday was spent mainly at the hospital as a wound care specialist treated my feet, using special tools like good old fashioned scalpels to cut and scrape away the dead skin and a few calluses on my toes and feet. When she treated my right foot I could see it still bleeds, but she said that’s a good thing as it means the tissues are still being fed by the body. Still healing. One toe had signs of fungus growing and they are going to get me on a cream and medication to treat that starting today or tomorrow. I guess they’re giving me another prescription so it’ll be tomorrow as I don’t go into the hospital till after my class, which I didn’t finish my readings for. So I’m behind but somehow I’ll catch up with it this week. I wanted to get up early and finish it but slept through a dozen alarms I’d set on my iPhone and my Fitbit watch. Fun.
I don’t know if I should take my Tylenol 3. My foots in pain again, but that medication sometimes makes me sleepy and given that I’m already tired as fuck, I figure I shouldn’t take it till tonight. I’m guessing I only have about 10 days left or the daily antibiotic IV regiment left which would be nice to stop to get a bit of my days back. But even last week when they measured my swelling, it showed signs there is still some infection in my system. But it’s healing. The wound specialist gave me a prescription that allowed me to get a second offloading shoe yesterday, so both my feet have them now. The other foot has always been better but pressure on it was still making the smaller wound slower at healing, and she said I probably should have had both feet in offloading shoes from the beginning.
Okay. Time to get up. It’s moments like these when my body is physically wrecked and I fall behind with some of my responsibilities that I just want to stay in bed all day but I have too much to do to fall into that trap again.

jimi baby, I'll tell you how it feels...heh....it sucks! but thanks for asking!
I try to notice the little things that get overlooked. I moved into this apt. late last year, and I'm still noticing new things all the time.
September 27, 2023: Six more weeks.
That’s how much longer my wound & IV antibiotics therapy will continue at Peace Arch Hospital after the doctor examined my feet today. I’m also supposed to stay off my feet as much as possible which isn’t easy with everything I need to get done.
My wounds are healing, but the doctor could still feel the bone through my left foot, which was the larger wound, so the treatments would have to continue less an infection come back which would result in the possibility of my losing at least my big toe on my right side.
So this will make life interesting. Part of me is worried, and a little scared. But another big part of me is relieved the doctor doesn’t want to hack it off.
I decided to make this joiner collage while the IV dripped antibiotic and other fluids into me. I listened to a bit of an art history video I’ve been watching, part of a short Udemy course on Contemporary Art I’ve been working through. I’ve been taking notes on my website’s online journal and would like to finish that soon.
Right now, I’m sitting in my car as the rain patters down on my roof and windshield. Before my appointment today I changed in a hospital bathroom, out of a long pair of jeans into some jean shorts as they’ve also been treating some scars on my legs. Now I’m going to head back to Mum’s to have dinner and probably turn in early tonight. The antibiotics can make me drowsy, but thankfully I haven’t felt as dizzy as I was for a few days last week. Haven’t felt the desire to throw up.
I want to exercise some more. I found this exercise app I have from when I had my stroke has a whole bunch of exercises I can do seated in a chair, so I am going to do those as they won’t require me to put pressure on my feet. If the doctor had said they were healed more than they are, I’d have started up walking the 5-10km walks on October 1. So now the goal for that is November 1.
Wish me luck.

1/365
Kicking off Project 365:II, we spent a marvelous first-day-of-Pookie's-vacation sitting around and stitching while watching a marathon of "The Shield". Midway through the afternoon, Roy decided he wanted to jump into Boomer's quilting and spilled a box of pins in the process. Good thing we found the little magnet pin-picker-upper doohickey again the other day. It worked like a charm.
tomorrow (or later on today, rather - it's past midnight), i'll be getting this lens as an early birthday present! after doing a lot of research i've decided to choose the nikkor 35mm f1.8 and i'm really hyped.
i haven't been on flickr much, but starting tomorrow i'll be on day 1 of the 365 project. i think it'll help me ease my way back into photography. i haven't taken many good photos in a while, so i hope this will be motivation.
i also miss my pro account. D:
Driving through the San Gabriel mountains over the weekend and saw the damage the fires had done. Then the erosion from all the rains we had here in California.
August 15, 2023: I haven’t posted too regularly here but on July 9 I was doing yard work and ended up hosing down several windows and the front porch at my Mom’s. I remember looking down at my feet cushioned in sandals that were soaking wet, to find the skin on my big toes had peeled away. My feet had been very dry as I hadn’t been applying any moisturizer, but needless to say it was concerning.
Since then my left foot has been healing a lot faster but my right foot hasn’t been, in spite of soaking them every other day in an antiseptic and Epson salt rinse, applying extra strength @polysporin and bandaging them up as best I can. But in the last few days I’ve had excruciating pain in the nerves running down my lower right leg, and into the heal of my foot. My Mum was giving me a Tylenol 3 to help me push through but has wanted me to get things checked for awhile now. My doctor is away and the walk in clinic I go to, where my previous doctor works at was booked into next week. So I came to Peace Arch Hospital.
I’ve been here for an hour now. I’m thirsty. My foot aches. The doctor and nurse who checked me in were concerned if my right foot is infected, the infection may have moved into the bones. They also said I should have come in sooner given I’m diabetic. But the one toe on my left foot has been healing well, and I thought the other would catch up with time. I hate coming into the hospital, but the pain is making it hard to sleep, and get work done around my Mom’s house. I thought maybe I was getting a fever last night too, I couldn’t take my temperature as I don’t know where it is… but they took it when I was admitted and he didn’t say I had a fever so maybe that’s passed. They took blood, so we’ll see how bad my blood sugar is, I’ve been having too many baked goods and colas again lately so I suspect it will be high. They also did an ECG and when I was checked in they said he’ll let the doctor decide on whether any x-rays or other imaging was needed. So we’ll see.

August 16, 2023: Today, I feel like absolute death, but I can’t fall asleep. I want to write more, but I have absolutely no energy.
(228/365).
Er...depressing day I guess. I was having one of those moments where every thought is bad. We were talking about growing up earlier and how this year, most of us are turning eighteen. Eighteen! Its so weird because I still feel like, Fourteen or something. I still feel I have growing to do, I still feel like a child and to me when you turn eighteen, Its time to grow up.
So this is exactly what the names applies, am I letting myself slip because I have to, or am I letting go.
I don't want to get old!
