ANY KIND OF FACE!
It's my daughter's birthday today. She is 53. OMG!
It's been a long week. Trips to Eugene for, of course, the doctor. Mr. M. has some blood work and a CT scan for his 6 month cancer check up. Everything looks good there so far. As for the kidney doctor, I am NOT at all happy. Long story, but the short of it is Mr. M's remaining kidney is now at stage 4 CKD. I am so upset and I made sure the doctor knew it. I have asked for a renal dietitian that should have been appointed to us 6 months ago. However this has fallen of deaf ears. I am trying to do the diet on my own. It is very difficult. Every site has conflicting information. Wish us luck.
Now for FFO
Since I'm talking about Mr. M., I'm wondering if I ever told you he does a bit of art work. He likes to draw strange bugs. He dose most of these are 4x5" card stock.

I just don't want to find any of these in my garden. LOL
This is not my kitchen but I do have these kitchen towels.
How it's time for some features.
Don't forget to link up with Gillena

...the medical system can work well or poorly, I'm sorry to hear about your problems.
Your daughter looks young for her age!
I'm so sorry to hear that news about Mr M's kidney! I hope you get that renal dietician soon as well as all the medical treatment possible! Mr M must be kept well so he can design and draw more of those fabulously creative bugs!
And Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter. You have such a good looking family!
Your daughter looks younger than 53. Do you ever draw from pictures of her?
Mr M does quite well with his bugs. I particularly like the one in the top hat. I imagine you do also, as it is behind glass.
I hope they can do right by Mr. M.
Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter!
Seeing what he likes to draw and what you like--you two are quite a perfect match! :) :)
Lovely art by Mr M sorry to hear about his kidney.
Happy happy Birthday to your daughter! To a fun day and a happy new year in her life.
Cool bugs but oh. So sorry and scary to learn about Mr.M´s kidney. I very much hope you at least find fitting infos for the diet, a forum or such. Sad the doctors leave you alone with this! Sadly sounds very familiar. Best wishes from here, from my heart. Maybe heart goes to kidney. Try to think positive...
Dear Nicole, you and Mr. M have had another exhausting week - of course I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things will get better for you in terms of medical care and diet!!!
I didn't know that Mr. M. is also an artist - his bugs and birds look very interesting - well done!
Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter! I hope you have time to celebrate. (My daughter's birthday is also in March.)
All the best from Austria, Traude
Beautiful daughter, and your husband's drawings look good.
Sorry to hear bad news of your husband, hopping better ...
Have a relaxing weekend ahead 😘
I can feel your pain when it comes to kidney health. I remember that diet when my husband needed it. It is difficult. And that's too bad about his other kidney. But I like hos bugs. They're fun. Thanks for featuring my photo. hugs-Erika
Your husband’s artwork is delightful. I hope that he is a candidate for a kidney transplant.
I too like bees and bugs and this is the time or year when they awaken. :) And, I love your towels, They are beautiful.
Happy Birthday to your BEAUTIFUL daughter!!!!
I love that Mr. M. is an artist too! And I very much love his work, but so sorry to hear about the issues with the kidney doc. That has to be hard -- coming up with your own version of the renal diet. Internet searches can be so confusing. Are you in an area with a university that has a medical or nursing school or a nutrition degree? It might be worthwhile if you are close to approach someone in one of those departments for help and reference. They might at least be able to steer you into reliable sources or even have someone who could help free or for a nominal charge.
How lovely to see your gorgeous daughter, happy birthday to her! Love the bugs from your husband, really fantastic. But not in the house or garden! Hugs, Valerie
Happy Birthday to yoinsecur beautiful daughter ~ lots of healing energy to you and hubby ~ his insect art work is awesome ~ hugs,

Boa tarde de segunda-feira, com muita paz e saúde minha querida amiga Nicole. Desejo feliz aniversário para a sua filha, perdão pelo atraso. Farei 52 em maio. E desejo plena recuperação da sua saúde. Fico feliz em saber que você, além de ver uma foto do meu rosto e já me presente-ou, com um desenho. Obrigado pela visita e comentário.
Happy Birthday to your daughter! And I admire Mr. M's art. You know, I have a weak spot for bugs. Sorry, that I haven't participated this time, but I try my best to do it this week. I have some lovely bird faces in store. :D
Heartfelt happy birthday to your gorgeous daughter dear Nichole 🥰
She is really beautiful 😍
Your wait for doctor is inconvenient to me because I wonder why and how it can take such long to to doctors to see the patient. People can have emergency so how they get treatment immediately? I would like to know if you want to share my friend.
Wishing your hubby a speedy recovery from kidney disease!!!
His art is awesome and remarkable, how smooth and neat wow ,I don’t like bugs otherwise but his art makes them likeable lol
Sending you much love and best wishes ♥️
Aww I am so sorry to hear about the health issues you guys are dealing with. It can be frustrating working with doctors sometimes. My favorite Dr. has been our kids' pediatric dentist haha. Hope your daughter had a good birthday! We will keep your family in our prayers!
I am sorry to hear about Mr. M's remaining kidney, I would have been furious too with the doctors too, what an uncaring attitude. If it helps, you might like to read this which is put out by our NHS here in Britain. This information is put together by specialist doctors (in groups) according to general treatment guidelines worked out by groups of doctors and constantly reviewed. . It's pretty robust and nobody's trying to push their own business or theories. I have found NHS advice to be realistic, not scaremongering. I know every country seems to have its own way of doing things and also this says you may need a dietician too but I hope it helps to stick to the general principles. .

Boa tarde. Uma ótima tarde de quarta-feira amiga Nicole.
