I Escaped The House Today!

Posted on Thursday, September 11, 2025 by Paul

We got up, and Mary did the morning groin check, and I was leaking every so slightly on the right side.  It was not significant enough to worry about, so we proceeded with the morning shower and a new gauze … Continue reading →
