When babies are born, it’s a happy time. A scary time, a stressful time, and sometimes a panicked time. But still a joyous, happy time. I feel bad sometimes that I maybe took the joy out of the joyous time when a baby was born. Three years ago. But I was in the hospital, knowing … More Attitude Of Gratitude
I am so blessed. I have recently had lots of folks asking how I’ve been doing or how I’ve been feeling, and I get to tell them that I feel fine. It’s been 6 months this month that I had The Big Surgery (and 6 1/2 months since the first surgery) and even though I … More Blessed
8 months ago, my little Ollie was suffering from ear infections every two weeks or so, which led to loooooooong night of rocking a crying baby and struggling to get even 4 straight hours of sleep. We went to a fabulous ENT in Tucson and ended up deciding to put tubes in the little guys … More Follow-Up
I’ve had quite a few people share words of encouragement for what’s happened in the past few weeks. The words, the cards, the flowers and the balloons have all been so kind and sweet and have really helped me keep this positive attitude the past few weeks. So many have sent condolences for the loss … More The Other Side
I didn’t expect for things to change the way they have. I am Sarah Ann, and before all the problems with the mass and the ectopic pregnancy and the surgeries, I was Sarah Ann.

Today was a bad day. Am I allowed to blog about that? I cried today. Twice. I can’t tell you what brought it on or what set me off, but it hit me hard. The first crying jag was brought on by a heaping, hearty dose of self-pity. When the tumor was removed, it was … More Day What?
It sure is nice to be in my own bed in my own home using my own internet, and NOT having my blood pressure taken every two hours. It is hard, though, as a woman and as the “runner” of the household, to give up the complete control I had only a short time ago. … More A Day At A Time
Sorry I haven’t been on here to update ya’ll on the progress of the surgery. I have a one word answer for you: pain. Lots, and LOTS of pain. I don’t know what I had expected to experience when I came in here, but that amount of pain, discomfort, and fear were NOT on the … More The Aftermath
And so it begins. It begins with my last “light” meal at noon, then 2, count them, TWO, bottles of Magnesium Citrate at 2pm (the second one at 4pm). Followed by 2, yes TWO delicious dinners brought over to my place this evening. Luckily, one was already frozen and will patiently wait for me in … More It Begins…
*DISCLAIMER* This is a freakin’ LONG blog, but it has all the details that people have been asking for. Hope you have time to read a small novel right now. *END OF DISCLAIMER* It was 3 weeks ago that it all started – serious cramps at random hours of the day and night… So there … More Blessings in Disguise Part 2
