My 2020 In Photos

Blog, Lifestyle, Medical, Personal experience 1 Minute

2020 is now behind us and I think everyone is happy to celebrate that while looking forward to 2021 with hope. As fucked up as 2020 was for so many people, I appreciate the moments of beauty and joy from last year. So here are 20 delicate and brutal photos of my 2020 to share with all of you.

I love summertime! The colors are vibrant, the pools are refreshing, and the fruit is juicy. 😁🍑🍉 Plus our blooming hydrangeas are my favorite if you can’t tell! 😍🤗

Our backyard pool with impatients. I just love the colors of summer!

Next up are our orchids. I love these as much as our hydrangeas! Growing them has taught me a lot of patience and to appreciate the beauty in things.

My health continued to be a roller coaster throughout 2020 with several hospitalizations for severe allergic reactions and asthma flares. My body has continued to change and swell from all the prednisone.

My last time on the ventilator was March 2020. So thankful that I haven’t had to be intubated since then.
On hi flow humidified oxygen after a severe allergic reaction
Hospitalized again for a severe asthma flare 10 days after allergic reaction
Currently still in the hospital for another severe asthma flare. On continuous breathing treatments to try to open my airways. Very swollen from all the prednisone.

One of the highlights of 2020 for G and I was adopting 3 kitties from our local animal shelter. Tilly, Savina (AKA Veenie Beanie), and Poovey are frisky, curious, and sweet cats who bring us their toys, zoom around the house, and love to cuddle.

Tilly loves to play hide and seek 😀

Poovey was overly excited from the catnip in her new Christmas toy 🤣

Who doesn’t love a nice fat Christmas tree? Is this the biggest thing you’ve ever seen?! 🎶 I like ’em round and big 🎶🎤

Well that’s a wrap! Au revoir 2020! Here’s to a healthier 2021 with just as much beauty, joy, juicy slurpable fruit, and kitty friskiness. 💕😀🍑😺

I have been told most of my adult life that I should write about my life stories and experiences. After my life took an unexpected turn due to several life altering medical conditions, I decided to try this blog as a creative outlet. I will share some very personal and medical experiences on here writing in my own voice as if I was having a conversation with you. So fair warning, things will be getting "too real" at times!

    1. Thank you Helen! Yes please use this idea for a post! I’d love to see your pictures 😀 We had adopted a cat back in 2005 and she passed away in 2020. We knew we wanted to adopt again and are so glad we did 😊. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2021 for everyone!
