Oxnard—When I say oops, I’m kindly trying to say I’m a total clumsy, clod, butterfingers, bull in a Chinashop, oof, pick whatever pseudonym you’d like, that’s me. IT started when I first started on my own after rehabilitating my hip and leg. I told you about losing my car in the Walmart parking lot, as well as the Ventura Harbor Village parking lot. Lisa, my business partner, told me not to...

Oxnard—I was going to start this week talking about my pre-transplant workup, but things happen, and the content changes. TO review, I bought a phone that fits in my pocket to prevent losing it, as it was constantly falling out of my pocket. After three trips to the department store, it became fully functional. The big concern was my continuous glucose monitor, which I couldn’t get to work....

Oxnard—Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care? I care, and my phone turned up missing again last week. It turns out that my giant-sized smartphone fell out of my pocket again, and it was missing. I was at Dialysis, and was worried someone had picked it up in the parking lot. Janis called the Dialysis Center on Friday, and they had it. One problem still remains:...

Oxnard—Usually, I start most Frosted Thoughts on a rant, but not this week! One of the many good things this week is that I get to see Travis, my beloved Paramedic Son, next month!!!! THE details are not yet worked out; there’s a lot to do, and he suggested coming to his house. I asked for pictures, which he didn’t send, but we found pictures online, and we won’t be staying there. Regardles...

Oxnard—It was a typical Sunday morning. I was in bed at 6:30 a.m., and the J-Train woke me up to tell me that she was going to work. THERE were a couple of minor differences: I was hungry, my blood sugar was low, and I needed company. Usually, I don’t require contact; I’m an island unto myself, but this morning I just wanted to talk. I had one stop to make, I needed to drop off papers at the...

Oxnard—I usually start every Frosted Thoughts with what it’s like to deal with waiting to get Travis’s Kidney that my hero is giving me. TODAY, however, I want to tell you about the love of my life, Daisy. While I was dealing with one medical issue after another, Daisy turned 17, making her the official Senior Citizen of the home. I’ve written about this before when her back legs gave out,...

Oxnard—So much has happened to me over the last two months, much of it good, and people have been very supportive. But, with that said, one piece of my life has become messed up. RECENTLY, I have been dropping things, knocking things over, losing things, stepping on and driving over things, and breaking things. Additionally, I have been losing my car in the grocery store parking lot, which...

Oxnard—For me, April has a mix of both good and bad memories. I start with the bad. ON April 8, 1989, I was diagnosed with type one diabetes. I’m repeating myself, But if it weren’t for my beautiful Mother, Dolores Frost, I wouldn’t be here today. If you weren’t reading what my beautiful Mother told me —that life isn’t fair —I have a strong soul and two little sons. I was ready to give up...

Oxnard - I hope everyone had a wonderful week filled with success, happiness, and prosperity. IT’S your little, old, short, and broken-down Italian friend again; I’m happy to share my bizarre eye with you again. My walking time without a cane is increasing, as I’ve said many times, one step at a time. One bizarre habit I have developed over the last week or two is that I take all my medica...

Oxnard - I hope everyone in Oxnard and Ventura County is having a wonderful week!!! IT’S little ole Chris, fueled by my passion to inform without bias, keeping people engaged and stimulating conversation. This past Monday I woke up with congestive heart failure. My Dialysis has been working on this problem, only to have my chest, arms, feet, and lungs load with about 36 pounds of fluid. It...
