August Potpourri...Dragonfire, Tiaras, Ring, and Wine

A lot happened for last year's birthday
One acquisition unexpected
Another proactively secured

Had to revisit the joy
My friend Barb gifted me with her ring in her will

The notice came right before my birthday
arriving August 7...gobsmacked
a giant peridot and ruby ring from Cartier
Liam models

Barb's Ring
and I had sought out wine art I had been admiring for time...I now have it for a year and it has enhanced my life every day....as has my relationship with the artist Leanne Laine

refresher or first time readers welcome

and now this year 2019
Drama began this year's birthday month
  
when I was shipped off to the LIJ ER on Saturday August 3 from my local walk in medical place Stat Med. I seem to have overdosed on Senekot, a gentle homeopathic laxative. Wanting never again to experience any colon issues after my 2016 sigmoid colectomy and extended complicated recovery I have been swallowing Senokot like mad. I was inadvertently giving myself daily mini colonoscopies. Apparently my semicolon revolted and attacked with a ferocious doubling over pain. Four hours in the ER.  I was infused with pain meds and released with pain pills along with the advice to see my own doctor.
my surgeon was away and I saw her on August 23rd
all okay, stop the daily not so gentle Senekot
 I did get a free bracelet see below and had an informative and soul connecting convo with a heavily tattooed ER nurse.

 The High Valyrian word "Dracarys" has become a sort of catchphrase for Dany. It literally means "dragonfire" and it's the word she uses to command her dragons to breathe fire
I loved that Dany's kids are dragons
they breathed fire on command
she is stormborn
Wednesdays child
