Mental Mosaic: Even Home is a Travel Destination
My name is Tui Snider. I'm a travel writer and photographer whose blog describes fun things to see and do in Texas and beyond. Here, you will get the personal side of my travels, with lots of photos, too.
I also write for Discovering Dallas - Fort Worth, a site full of tips for fun things to see and do in north Texas.

Comments are welcome. I would love to hear from you!
It was a little scary to me, also, but I don’t regret getting the surgery. It solved a lot of issues for me. I heal quickly and was back on my feet in record time, but let me just say this. When they tell you not to vacuum, they aren’t kidding! Just plan on leaving that chore to someone else for the entire six weeks no matter how quickly you heal. I was back to painting the house in two weeks and was surprised at how difficult and tiring vacuuming was. (and yes, painful,too.)
I hope you don’t need surgery but if you do, rest easy. I can attest that as a survivor of numerous surgeries (none were elective surgeries; and none of which I woke to bigger boobies), it isn’t bad. I find it rather humorous to think back and remember hearing the anesthesiologist say “count backwards from xxx”, and how seldom I could count more than 2 numbers before the ‘lights went out’.
Ironic that you ended up being anemic while the guys have too much iron. I guess it evens everything out in the universe??
Sheila: Somehow, I’m not surprised that you were off and running out of the gates. I admire your energy level! Thanks for the encouragement.:)
Aerie-el: Thanks for the kind words. You are a brave one! I’m feeling more relaxed, but impatient to get things done. Oh – and I hear ya on the anemia iron-y! ;p
Hello dear Tui! I thought i’d stop by mental mosaic to see what’s up with your beautiful self. Hope your health is much improved and with whatever new challenges are in your path, you reign triumphant.
xooxoxo

<3 back atcha, babycakes! :)
Um, sorry I am late (like showing up at a birthday party two years later). I am glad they found out the cause of your fatigue cause, well it sucks, and your fab writing needs to go out. Congrats on the writing gig. And I love your blog design, it totally kicks ass (actually I wrote ‘kisses ass’ – this is a dyslexia problem I need to avoid while in bars).
I have some anesthetic worries but as one told me, “I am the one person whose entire energy and focus is in keeping you perfectly healthy. The doctor and nurses don’t do it.” – often anestheologists will keep one hand on you and one on the machines as the face will put out minor signs that the machines can’t pick up, like sweat, or eyebrow twitches if you are in pain, so they can make sure you are okay. I still hate giving up consciousness (particularly after I found out I don’t and talk endlessly after I front brain consciousness until they can get me out – when I came out and she told me, I discourced on liver absorbtion factor, I was mortified, she said, ‘meh, I’ve had a 14 year old ask me to marry him, it happens.’
Next time, I hope I natter on how I better end up with bigger breasts when this is over. Thanks for that laugh.
Talk about late – that would be me! Dunno why my blog put your comment into my spam folder. So glad I checked it before hitting the delete key. Thanks for your kind words! I know I’m a wuss about the whole anesthesia thing, but writing always helps me get things out of my head. By the way, I’m doing NaBloPoMo, so I’ll be around all month. Think I’ll pop over to your blog today and see what’s up. :)
