Merry Christmas!

We’re wrapping up the year at the Barefoot house. The kids are excited about tomorrow, and we are getting ready for Christmas Eve dinner. May your Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Festivus dreams come true. Here is to a great year to come.

With that, I’ll leave you with an infographic. Take a look at just how quickly the internet has changed over time. via The Roosevelts

Sewing, sewing, tying.

Here at the house of the Barefoots, it has been mostly a lazy month. I’ve been dealing with undiagnosed stomach problems that have landed me in the ER a few times, and once overnight for observation. It doesn’t seem to be related to my other diagnoses. That being said, we needed something to keep us busy now that the kids don’t want to venture into the cold or rain. Since we just brought home our…

Learning with Toes in the Sand

Learning with Toes in the Sand - a day trip to Civil War era Fort Point and Chrissy Field.

This past July, Little Miss asked to go to the beach in lieu of a party with her friends. We had planned on getting to the beach last March, but had to put off the fun until I was cleared by my surgeon to go have some fun. We made our way down through Vallejo and Sonoma, hoping to see some sign of the earthquake activity that devastated the area. From the highway, not much was visible. We were…

The surgery went well. Not counting the first hazy days filled with constant vomiting, recovery has been easy on me. I’ve had bad days, but for the most part the days have been good since getting the staples out. I can only hope and pray that I continue to have more good days than bad, and that the shunt is in place for a good, long time. Below are some pictures of my incisions. Don’t scroll down…

T minus 13 hours…

Tomorrow at this time, I’ll hopefully be resting and recovering from shunt surgery. These loverly stickers on my head were placed before I had a CT. They help the surgeon navigate my brain. I got them done today, 24 hours before surgery. Some unlucky folks have to keep them on for 3 days. I almost cried the temple stickers off when  my surgeon tried to cancel surgery tonight after his business…
