What's with the title of this blog??

When I decided to write my own musings on the healthcare journey I'm now on with Michael and particularly from my perspective as his companion, supporter, caretaker, person to make sure he doesn't fall over or something or whatever we want to call it -- I knew there could only be one perfect title.

One of my favorite sets of books & stories from when I was young was the Uncle Wiggily series of illustrated tales about this 'gentleman' bunny, Uncle Wiggily. And a reccuring character who was the bunny's friend, helpmate, and nurse, was Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy. In my house when I was sick, we would read the books again and I would call my mom "Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy" because she looked after me like Uncle Wiggly, and because it was fun for a kid to say, and fun apparently for my mom to affect and act out.

So, since I'll be doing some kinds of looking after and generally trying to make Michael feel better, I'm "Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy" for a short time. And so is this blog.

Peace.
