Mistakes on Medical Records/Diagnosis: Are They Common?

Recently my husband had a huge medical scare.  The scary part is we were never informed by his doctor about it, we actually stumbled upon the information.  The doctor’s office he uses has a service where you can pull up all your medical records called, “Follow My Health”  It is a service that records everything that is done when you see your provider. They track medicines, treatments, tests, doctor’s comments, literally everything involved in your visit to your provider.  When we were first told about this feature, we were really excited. It just was going to make life easier to get simple blood test results, etc. read more

TOP 10 FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT FALL

 

I can’t believe that it is already halfway through September and I am still running our Air Conditioner full blast! I am craving some nice cool, crisp fall evenings.  I want to be able to go outside, with my favorite long sleeve comfy shirt and leggings and look at all the leaves as they change colors! Fall has always been my favorite time of year!   So I figured I would do a blog post about Fall and Halloween to try and get us all in the spirit for fall, even if the weather is failing us so far.  

Here is a list of my Top 10 Favorite Things About Fall

Bonfires

  • I love sitting by a fire outside, either a bonfire or a fire in my fire pit out on the deck, hanging out with the grand kids.  Sitting by the fire and roasting some marshmallows. We have a good stack of sticks and tree branches that we have lost this past summer, so I am certain we will have some great bonfires this year!

    Is it a house or a home?

    We have owned our home for about 11 years now and I love it for so many reasons.  I will say that it isn’t the newest house and it certainly has a lot of repairs we need to do.   I will admit when I go to a friends house and they have a newly updated kitchen or new furniture in the living room, I get a little envious.   We have lived in this home for 18 years and it was not new when we bought it. I believe it was built in the 70’s. We also have 2 apartments at the back of our property that assists us in paying our mortgage each month.  The key is that it is our HOME and not just a house. read more

    I was contacted about this honor recently, and they stated they wanted to include my blog in this listing.  I can not tell you how humbled and honored I was to be included in this list!! 

    When I started my blog approximately 4 years ago, I never thought it would be where it is now.  Now that isn’t to say that I am where I would like to be yet by any means!!  However, I am happy with the direction I am headed.  I began writing my blog simply as a way to share with others my journey of raising my 2 grandchildren.  I am very proud of my daughter, as she is now in the process of having her girls back with her full time.   I am in the process of changing up the direction of the blog, and will update y’all more with that subject later.     read more
