Mighty Miracles
When this post goes live, my aunt will be going through surgery to relieve intense pain from the trigeminal nerve located in the brain. She has been living with this awful disease (formerly known as Suicide Disease) for years. Diagnosed at various times for a myriad of other disorders, we now suspect the root of it all is Trigeminal Neuralgia. It's been very debilitating for her, so I'm praying the procedure is a success.
Sorry to hear about your aunt's illness. I hope the surgery is a success and she recovers well. Your hummingbird photos are amazing. What s/speed did you use?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I do hope your aunt receives relief and has a speedy recovery. I had never heard of this problem before.
ReplyDeleteSuper om dit snelle vogeltje te nemen valt niet mee.
ReplyDeleteThe Ruby-throated Hummingbird is having a special but beautiful crown in the first picture.
