Good afternoon, taking some time to chat with you before I head out. I need to stop at the middle school, then getting a haircut and then off to babysit. I have a sore heel today - was fine during our walking time but not pushing things now. I wonder if walking around in my Sunday shoes on Sunday (they are flats) is part of the problem. It will get better. The sun is out some today but it is not warming up - just hanging around at 35. I have my long underwear back on for the day.
Sheryl, I watched the chili relleno show today. The rehabs were way too much work but not a dish for me anyway. Some things I'd rather have occasionally the old way. Then I watched the Innovation Nation - really enjoyed it.
The "release" of the scapula sounds very painful. Are you doing better. I don't remember refrigerators that locked. Lori bought something that was supposed to keep her freezer shut but it broke very quickly.
Glad you enjoyed the Mexican with your friends.
Marcie, how nice to have a nice new neighbor. Do the two of you work in the same building? I'll bet you had fun cuddling Cisco last night. I chop the greens for my salads too. Who knows, maybe it doesn't take as long as I think. Thanks for sharing the flowers. Beautiful.
Sheryl, you are so beautiful. Maybe the curly hair will be easy care. I like the wig too. I just like however you look.
When I'm home just half a day, I just get a good start on things and then leave. Tomorrow I don't have to go out till evening so we'll see if that helps. I'm watching Alan's kids Friday evening so will have to pick up my projects. I curious to see their new dining room table. I fixed up a 10 foot portion of a bowling alley lane and then Alan made benches for the two long sides. Okay, I'm off. Have a great day. Everyone stay well and no falls allowed.

Lunch Time!!!!! Fried up chicken last Saturday for dinner, now I'm having a cold chicken sandwich. Sitting here at work, was reading someone's question if there was a food that burned fat. I read many response and they were not being very nice in my opinion. I realizes that there is not just one type of food that will burn fat, but a combination of different type of healthy wholesome foods will help with the metabolism to burn fat. Not one of those people commenting made mention of this.
These folks apparently do not understand about eating healthy and being in balance, at least this is my take on what I was reading. It was like all they could say was burn more calories, eat less and you will lose the fat. Well, that is partly true but they did not offer up the rest of the equation.
Maybe I should have left a comment, there may have been at least one person who would get it.
I still miss my NM!!!!

You'll see lots of that in the main forum. Lots of members, lots of opinions, lots of snarky people, lots of considerate people, etc.0

Good Afternoon...I finally made it over here. The computer is acting up again. I made a comment on Facebook and it went down, got it back, tried to send an email and it went down, got it back up again, got the email sent and it went down. Tried to get here several times before now and the computer would not respond. Augh!!!!!!
I'll make this quick before I lose it again.
Marcie, I am still planning on completing the inventory to get a dollar value and sell all the stuff, BUT FIRST...there are tax returns to be done. It's always something. I feel good though and believe I can get it all done in the next few months.
I need help in regards to responding to members here who comment on status. If I add a comment to the person who has clicked "like" to my logging so many days in a row, does it automatically go back to them? Or, do I need to click on their page and send a message to them?0 -
Good afternoon everyone. It has been busy the last few days. I have been far away from home each day and exhausted by the time I get home including today. Tomorrow I have to go back to the big town again. I hope this travel ends soon. Our weather has been really good lately with some rain but mostly sunny clear skies. The days are in the 70's and the nights around the 50's. My kind of weather.
I have some time to post so thought I would get it done now. I have been reading all the posts here but when I am not in the mindset to post it is best I stay silent because I don't want to be a debbie downer, lol.
I feel better from the first rx and don't know if I really need the other but I figured I would keep it on hand in case I start feeling bad again.

Great job on your walk across america and your nice book find.
sannferris
I liked Trader Joes shopping and sure miss that. I am excited to make a trip there when we get to California in May.
I have come to realize that most people just want to complain about something they perceived as a slight to them even though there isn't one. I have one of the those faces that makes me look mad or just plain unhappy when I am not smiling. It isn't normally the case but it happens and people can take it wrong and just either avoid me or give me a rude look back, or even commmenting about it. I finally realized why I felt to pushed aside when I am in a group setting. I am not mad or angry but some people think I am so I try to smile as much as possible to avoid it.
Thank you for the update on Elaine, I am glad she is doing well and your success is great too. I love fresh eggs and hope you didn't lose too much from the freezer.
cthompson8083
Were you able to get some meds to help with the pain? Your meatball recipe sounds good, I will try it.
mygnsac
I am glad you are feeling better now and I don't do roofs either. Your breakfast looks good, I had the same thing that day, lol. Where do you get the plastic tubes for your rings? I am sorry to see so few people here too but it is nice to get to connect to some of you.
arobed53
Wow, I still can't get over how busy you are. Glad all is going well for you. How did your haircut go? I wish I could help you with translation.
sannferris
Sure glad you got the scapula release how are you feeling now? I didn't know you could get such a big omelet from goose eggs.
mygnsac
Your new neighbor sounds great. Its nice to have neighbors to chat with. We have one with a couple of young sons who are very polite making it nice to chat with them. Sometimes they help me in the garden. I hope Cisco liked his bath and you picture is gorgeous. Hope you can get traffic school out of the way.
sannferris
I'm with you it is hard not to want to succumb to those ads that pop up. I am thankful there aren't any Baskin Robbins here.
How did labs go?
tlspindor
I have seen a lot of that in the forums and decided to try staying in the recipes section so as not to be roasted, lol. I miss NM as well and all the people there. I did find a group I joined too, it is the "Eat More to Weigh Less" group. I was roasted when I responded to a thread for a gal who was struggling to eat 1000 calories per day. When I told her I understood and that I learned that I had to eat more as well it blew up in my face. This is what I liked about NM, I was respected and given ideas on how to learn to eat more food so I could lose the weight. Guess what? I have now gained 5 pounds because I have been so busy that I am not eating again and on top of that I had a day there that went way over my calories too. I wish I could just wish it all away sometimes.

Hey all! Just popping in to say "hi" for a quick second. My youngest son turns 13 tomorrow so I have been cleaning and getting groceries for his bday dinner. He's the one who was sick last week--turns out he was very close to having a bowel obstruction. With a lot of daily miralax he is much better! I am sure it was his iron pills (he has restless leg syndrome) so for now he is off those.
I am enjoying reading the PBS comments but don't always have comments mostly because I do the same things over and over again
Sheryl- love your hair either way
Marcie--glad you are better and the recipes look good!
Tspindor--good to see you!
Christina-- sad to hear that you still suffer so much!
Aerobed--stretch that heel out and do the little circle motions to loosen it up! Foot pain is the worse!
Anew--could you send some of those 70's up here? It was 22 as a high here
Talk to you all after the big birthday weekend!0 -

Sheryl, as long as they have their Email Settings set to receive an email when someone comments on their status, they will receive an email telling them you have made comment. Example below...
If they don't have it set up to receive those emails, they will only know if they go in to MFP and check their status entry to see if anyone has commented on or liked that status, or if you send them a PM (personal message).

Hi all.
Got home from work and Dad told me he needed me to take him to the hospital. Apparently he's been having heartburn for a few days (first I'm hearing about it) and his cardiologist wants him to get an EKG. He wanted to get something to eat first, so we stopped at the Spaghetti Factory on the way to the hospital. I know its not too bad since he had an appetite. Hes getting his test now and I'm waiting outside in the car. That waiting room is packed with people with the flu, and I'm keeping my distance. The nurses are all wearing masks to protect themselves.
As soon as they finish the test we'll go on home, unless they find a problem. Keeping everything crossed that he's ok.
I'll check back in later.

Popping in to say 'hi". Marcie, hope you get to go home soon and leave the germs behind.0
-
I'm home, but had to leave Dad there. They didnt like the EKG results, so they took him to the emergency room for more tests, and a few minutes ago they put him in a room for the night. Hopefully he gets to come home tomorrow. I hate this so much. Its been 2 years since he was last in the hospital when they put that stent in.
Got home and took Cisco for a walk. Poor little guy was stuck in the house for 5 hours and had to go to the bathroom.
This is a different hospital this time, and it takes nearly an hour to drive there. That emergency room was packed with people with the flu. I sure hope Dad doesnt catch it. Thats the last thing he needs.
I'm pooped and worried.
Have a nice night everyone.0 -
So sorry to hear about your dad mygnsac and I hope and pray he comes home today. That is a scary thing you are describing.
0 -
Thanks Anew.
He's still there waiting for the tests to start. He told me to hold off coming there till they get started with the tests. He had a long night. They didn't get him settled in his room until 3 am.0 -
Good Morning, and I pray that it's a very good morning for Dad. Marcie, you must be going out of your mind, maybe you have already left to go pick him up, I hope so.
Yesterday was PT day and they wore me out. I now have another exercise to do at home, to stretch my arm behind my back. Ouch! After I fixed something for John and I to eat, we both sat in our favorite chairs and fell asleep.
Thanks for another tip on how to best use this site, Marcie. I got a response from Jess, and it looks like she got my message both ways that I sent it.
I think I'm ready to try the walking tapes again, when I get short of breath, I'll take breaks in between.
No plans today, I see basketball on the tv schedule, so John will probably watch a little of that.0 -
Marcie, sorry your dad had to spend the night. Hope the tests show nothing and you get to bring him home. I'm home from 4-H Days and need to make my salad so can do some errands with hubby. Happy Valentine's Day to each one of you. Love you all.0

Home for the night and since no kids are coming here tomorrow, it's not too hectic. I enjoyed having Thursday and Friday at home. I always get to mark some things off the list but always seem to have more to put on. It's ever ending but a couple of long term ones have had some big chunks taken care of. I didn't have anyone going with me Thursday evening so hubby decided to go along and I enjoyed a whopper meal - it's been a long time since I've had one. We had a coupon so....
Friday evening we babysat for Alan. The kids ate one pizza between them. And applesauce goes over well. They were here about 4 hours. We made butterfly valentines for them to take home. I had another craft but it didn't happen. They were tired at the end so we put in a DVD and some rested and some played quietly.
Today was an event called 4-H Days. My job is to sit at the front table and direct people if they don't know where to go. I help with pickle power and hand out the thank yous when kids are done. This evening used to take two days. A few years ago, it went down to one day and now we do it all in a half day. Afterwards I finished up my errands. When I got home, I fixed a pineapple/strawberry salad for the meal at church tomorrow, caught up on the dishes and then hubby and I headed out. He wanted to do something for the day. We went to a used bookstore and got a big box of books, we went to a tool store and got a few things and then had grilled chicken sandwiches at chick-fil-a. It was busy but not crowded.
Tomorrow is church - our interim pastor came back to pack up his stuff and will give one last message and then we'll have a farewell dinner. We miss him but understand why he resigned.
Hi, Tammy. Yes, you should have left a comment. They need sane talk. But who knows how they would have responded. I make a few comments but not many. We were just spoiled at NM.
Marcie, you're right - many types of people. But that's how it is in life. No update on your dad. Will keep waiting. Hope you like the hospital okay. An hour is a good drive. I understand about the 3am settled in the room time. That's never a fast process but not fun for the person.
Sheryl, glad you feeling good enough to start thinking of getting back to the inventory. That's a huge job. Doing taxes first is smart. I need to get the rest of my stuff to our tax person. I'm glad I don't have to do them.
Anewstart22, it is tiring when you are gone every day. Pop in when it works for you. Glad you are feeling better. Glad you know why people avoid you so you don't take it wrong. Smiling is good to do anyway.
Haircut went fine. It was interesting and did take more time since a teacher had to check on her at different steps. I didn't explain part of it well but it works. I like how she did my bangs. My cow lick isn't showing up as much. I didn't realize that was why my bangs were doing what they do.
Jannie, Happy Birthday dinner to your son. Two teenagers now. Wow. What did you have for his dinner? I don't mind hearing about the same things over and over.
Thanks for the ideas on the heel. I've been trying to do it. I'll go a part of the day with no pain and then it pops back up.
Sheryl, looks like I'd better dust off my DVD then. I've been doing the amount of walking as the tape (probably) with getting in my steps everyday but walking around the house isn't real exciting. And probably not as much of a work out. I'll work back into them. Wonder if we have any of the same DVDs. I'll check on what I have.
Well, it's bedtime. So good night.

Morning everyone.
Well, they didnt get around to running those tests on Dad yesterday until 4 pm, and they had him stay the night again. They finally fed him around 7pm. That was his first meal since he and I went to the Spaghetti Factory Friday afternoon before we went to the hospital, 27 hours with no food! They wouldnt let him eat before they ran those tests. I went and sat with him for a while yesterday, and wow is that hospital confusing. I didnt think I'd ever find his room. I was starting to feel like a mouse in a maze.
It looks like they are going to be discharging him today. He's going to call me when its time and I'll go get him. Dont know what the tests results are yet. I'll just be glad to get him home.
I was out walking Cisco this morning, and the other people out walking their dogs all knew him and asked after Dad. I guess the neighbors who walk their dogs all know each other. Cisco knows the path he and Dad usually walk, so he just shows me the way. If I try to make a wrong turn, he corrects me. If he could talk I'm sure he'd say "no Mom, you're doing it wrong...we're supposed to go this way!"
I guess I'll do some light housecleaning until I get the call, which I hope is soon. I want him out of that place!

Hi all,I haven't been here a long while.I'm really sorry for that.my PT has been going really well. Funny as mean as I was to the last time the two main purpose for fighting over me as their patient. They must have enjoyed my meanness.I ended up with the therapist I had last time and the other one was really really mad at him because she started out and did all my assessments but since he's the boss, he had final say. I haven't gotten through all the posts so I miss but I had to stop and post a little bit in case I don't get through them all today.
Christina I hope you are feeling better and I hope the medications help you.
Sheryl I am so very sorry for the loss of your cousin.
Marcie, I'm glad you and your dad have it covered from your illnesses. Now stay healthy!
Debora keep up the good work some states are really really Long.
I can't remember everyone else's post but hi anewstart, jc, Pam, and anybody else I missed.
it has been really really cold and snowy here. It finally just got to 0 degrees about an hour ago. It was 9 degrees below that it's colder with a friend chill around -27 so we did not go anywhere. I do have therapy tomorrow so I hope it's warmer.
my biggest problem with this surgery is my back. It has gone into revolt probably because the change in my gait. I ended up having to use a fentanyl pain patch. It alleviates the pain a little bit but not much.
hopefully this week they're going to let me get rid of my Walker completely. I don't have to use it inside now. I'm just using my cane and still using my brace. Hopefully the brace will go this way and I will be able to start driving not that I want to in this weather.
I have been using the voice on my phone to type this so there may be a few errors that I didn't catch that I tried to catch them all.
This is probably a little disjointed because I thought of things I just started talking so I'm going to go read some more and maybe I'll talk to you later.0 -
we ll ..I got through all the posts. Marcie, I hope your dad is home and feeling better.
hi Tammy. I sure wish this thing would spell names right I have to go back and fix them when they're wrong.
Sheryl, I really like your wig and your real hair.
I've been lying in bed in my CPM and I am ready to get out so I guess I will call it a day here.0 -
oops i forgot; hi Jannie. Hope all are well.0
-
and thank you everyone for the cards, thoughts and the prayers. I know they are what made the surgery so much better. love y'all0

Marcie, I was so happy to get home and see your post. I hope you are off getting your dad right now and will soon have him home. 27 hours with no food is a long time but I suppose they had him on ivs so he was taken care of. No fun to not know your way around. I always feel that way in the bigger hospitals. I hope his doctor lets him know about the tests quickly so you know too.
Good that Cisco knows where his walks are supposed to be. I like that all those who are out walking their dogs have gotten to know each other too and care about how your dad is doing. I like what you think he would say. Will you work tomorrow or stay home with your dad? Hope the light housekeeping keep you busy while you waited.
Good day here. We only had 4 kids in Sunday School. It was so good to see our former interim pastor. Their car is packed and loaded and they head home in the morning. What a blessing they've been to us. And the potluck was delicious. I let myself enjoy it plus I ate some of what the grandkids didn't. Unlike the potluck last week, there were plenty of desserts this week. The board wives made the main dish of scalloped potatoes and ham and we all brought side dishes. Katie made the comment that it wasn't a good meal for diabetics and my sister agreed. And Katie is allergic to potatoes and beans so there wasn't much protein for her either.
I came home and took a nap. Now I'll do my list. Ralph is going to a Perspective class tonight so I'll enjoy a quiet evening. It's cold but no snow or ice so far. I may soak my feet tonight. I don't know if it will help my sore heel but it can't hurt.

Hi Elaine! I've been hoping you'd stop in So glad you are doing better--hopefully that darn back pain will get better. I'm sure if the PT's fought over you that you were a great patient! You really wouldn't believe some of the things people say/do especially when they have to do something they don't want to do.
Marcie-hope your dad is ok! I know he probably couldn't wait to get out of the hospital If Cisco is anything like my Kringle, he knows all the 'trails' for walks! Here is a pic that DJ took of her this weekend, I love it!
Aero- I made 'Creamy crockpot Chicken' for the bday dinner and the boys both loved it! I also baked a cake and since I don't have an actual oven it turned out really well Those exercises really helped and I also sit my hurt foot/heel on an ice pack to help it heal faster. I had plantar fascistic one time for 9 months and once I started the exercise it got better so much faster! 0 -
Wow! I actually posted a pic---yeah me 0

Good Morning, Jannie, what an adorable dog. Yay, on posting the picture, I know how excited I get each time I conquer one more thing on this site.
Yesterday, I got started on taxes. I have something that needs to be depreciated and it's been a long while since that happened, so I had to do research to make sure that the depreciation schedule is still the same as 5 years ago. So far, it looks the same, so the percentages are the same.
Elaine, your progress is amazing. Congratulations. I'm sure you'll out walk everyone in your family on your trip next month. Well, you out-walk everyone, all the time.
Debora, I didn't get those dvd's out yet, but I will try to do that on Wednesday and let you know which ones I have. Today, I go in for more blood work and tomorrow morning, I go in early for a CT scan. From there, I have a little time to kill and then PT at noon. I probably won't get by here tomorrow.
Today is another gorgeous sunny day. It's amazing how much diversity we have East vs West.0 -
Thanks Sheryl! We
Kringle so much, she's a good girl MOST of the time I hate doing my taxes and have had 2 friends find out that their identity was stolen when they tried to file this year Isn't that sad? I hope that never happens to me but the police told both friends that it is getting more common every year. Hope that your CT scan goes well!

Good evening - almost time to head for bed. I keep checking hoping that Marcie will have an update on her dad. I woke up to snow on the ground but had no trouble driving. It wasn't a lot and most of it melted already. I walked and then have had the entire day home since then. I've started doing a better cleaning than I do some weeks, did a load of laundry and some other odds and ends. DH wanted his haircut so we got that done too.
Elaine, you snuck in while I was writing last time. I'm so glad your recovery from your knee surgery is going so well. Pretty neat when the PT fights over you. Shows how nice you are even when you don't like what they are doing for you. You are sure having the cold and snow. Cool that you can post with your voice.
Jannie, what a cute picture of your dog. Creamy crockpot chicken sounds great. You should post the recipe. How did you bake the cake without an oven? Foot was better today so I soaked it again tonight. Of course, I really took it easy on Sunday - not so much today. I'll try the ice pack idea too. Thanks for all the help.
Sad for your friends and the identify theft. They say that's a real mess.
Sheryl, good luck with the taxes. Hope you can just sit and relax between the CT and PT. Any replies from Granny lately?
Heading for bed now. Tomorrow afternoon is Good News Club. Hope it's nice enough that can be outside afterwards - makes cleaning up so much easier. Sleep tight.

Hi everyone, I have been so busy with being in the big town that I had to take a couple of days to recharge and let my muscles relax. I was hurting badly from all the walking I was doing. I have probably walked about 12 miles with all the back and forth out there with Saturday being the biggest walking day. My husband said we walked 3 miles that day but we completed our duties, lol.
Our biggest duty was to figure out what gift we were building for the wedding but it took 6 different stores to find most of what we needed. We changed our idea at least once per day because the materials we needed to complete an idea weren't available unless we had it shipped to us. When you have wood shipped to you there is never a guarantee that you will get a good piece to use.
We had originally decided we would use a 1" thick wood but realized it would be far too heavy a box to lift and that would be an empty box at that. So, we changed the design over and over again but could not find the wood we needed to complete it which meant going to the big town over and over again, lol. We finally decided on the final design having plywood as well as hard stock oak which made it so that we could make our original idea. That is what it is like out here to find what you are looking for, lol. Our final design is a keepsake box with a plywood bottom and top. The top will sit down into the frame of the box so it should look quite nice. We will use 1/4" and 1/2" red oak for the box frame and 1/2" oak plywood for the bottom and top. It should come out nice but you never know with us the direction could turn again, lol.
Our weather turned pretty cold yesterday but I feel for all of you that are in the brunt of all this winter weather.
I have been working on the guest/craft room as well and decided the room is just too small to have both a craft room and a guest bedroom so for now the bed is in the office room. The house is less than 1200' and has three bedrooms with two bathrooms which makes the rooms small. I have been looking at murphy beds with a desk built in as well which might be the solution to the small room size. I was also thinking I could have a murphy bed with a table that folds out and I could use it for material cutting and ironing. I just have to make the decision on what direction to go. Either way we go the bed will have bookcases with doors on each side for storage.
mygnsac-
Glad you hear your dad finally had his tests and was able to eat. That is a long time without eating something. Cisco sounds like a neat dog and neighbors must really like your dad to ask about him. Did you get to bring your dad home yet?
elaine-
it's good to see you pop in here and glad you are doing well with your knee too. How's the back doing?
jlhawki-
Thanks for the pic of Kringle, what a cutie
sannferris-
How is your blood work and CT Scan?
jlhawki-
Sorry about your friends having problems with their taxes and identities. I had that happen to me when I was 20 years old. I filed my taxes and received a letter from the IRS asking me to prove who I was and if I had my social security card. I did have it, so sent a copy to the IRS and explained where I was born, who my mother and father were and my birthdate. I was never asked anything after that but I called them and they told me someone was working the fields and had stolen my number but were paying taxes under my number. Weird. I told him I had hoped it was just numbers written down wrong mistake.
It does make quite a mess though. My husband had his stolen and lost thousands back about 20 years ago. My brother is constantly fighting charges that keep coming back from when his identity was stolen when he was only 19 years old. It is a nightmare to get rid of that stuff.

Good morning everyone.
What a long weekend! Our office was closed for the holiday yesterday, so it feels like Monday to me.
Around 9am on Sunday the doctor in the hospital told my Dad that the test results looked good and he could go home. But, they didn't get around to discharging him until 4pm. They had just started using a new computer system in that hospital, and they were struggling with it, so everything was taking longer than normal. A long day. Just glad to have him home again. Cisco gave him a good mauling when he walked in the door to let him know how happy he was to see him!
Dad's cardiologist wants him to come to her office tomorrow so she can check him out, so he had to go get blood tests this morning, which meant more fasting last night. He says he's becoming a fasting pro. He went for 27 hours with no food in that hospital (and no IV).
The heartburn that dad was experiencing is gone now, and they don't know what was causing it. With him, anytime he experiences anything that may be associated with his heart disease, they chuck him in the hospital and check everything. I'm glad for that, but it is so scary when that happens. When his time comes, I'm going to be such a mess. He's the only real family I have left in this world.
I took Cisco for a walk after I brought Dad from the hospital Sunday afternoon, but Dad took over that task again yesterday morning. I'm sure Cisco was happy about that. Mom just doesn't do it right!
It was so warm here this weekend, I actually had to turn on the AC in my car as I was running around to and from the hospital and other errands. We got up to 80 on Saturday. It was about 10 degrees cooler yesterday, but that is still too warm for winter. I want my winter! I enjoy the cool weather. Summer and the hot temps will be here soon enough.
I put off doing my weekly cooking this weekend, so was glad to have yesterday off to get all of that done. Now I'm caught up on that and housecleaning.
Elaine, it was nice hearing from you. I hope your back is feeling better. As usual, brrrr on your weather!
Sheryl, I hope PT went ok yesterday. It sounds so painful. I need to get my taxes done too. I keep putting it off for some reason this year. Probably because a big chunk of my refund is going towards paying off that stupid red light ticket I got!
Jannie, yay on posting your first pic! I hope to see more. Your Kringle is such a cutie!
Debora, thanks for checking in for updates on my Dad. That was nice of you. As usual, sounds like you had a busy weekend.
Anew, hope you have time to stop and chat more.
Better close now and get to work. Have a wonderful day everyone.0 -
I forgot to post about the problems I am having with my truck. I will be taking it in tomorrow to have it checked out before an alignment because it is bouncing the tire on the left front side. It seems to be worse when I put on the gas and is less bouncing when I let off the gas. This tells me that the forward motion of the tire by gasoline power makes it work harder and I can feel the results of it. I was looking up the symptoms and it is possibly something called "The Death Wobble". Yikes, that is scary.0

Good Morning, frustrated, had a long post and lost it, stupid computer. I'll try this again.
Yup, I didn’t make it over here at all yesterday. I knew on Monday that Tuesday would be a very full day. I left the house before 8 am for the CT scan and it went very well. Got out of there by 9:30 am. There’s a portion of the scan that I need to put my arms up over my head. For early scans, I just couldn’t do it, so they modified the scan because my left arm was down by my side. Two months ago, with the technician’s help, he lifted my arm up, but it was so painful, he hurried through it and helped me get my arm down. Yesterday, I was able to lift my arm and hold it there myself, some pain, but nothing like before. I had to fast for the scan, so I was hungry and thirsty and went out to breakfast. I almost never go out by myself, I don’t know why I feel so awkward sitting in a restaurant alone, but I do. But, yesterday, I did it and enjoyed it, got my new favorite, avocado eggs benedict.
Then, I ran a few errands; post office, Office Depot to pick up labels, and stopped by Fred Meyer to grab their weekly flyer so I can check out sale items to make a grocery list for Friday. Got to PT a little early and watched a cupcake program on the Food Network that they had on in the waiting room. Wow, they had to make a display of one thousand cupcakes. What a feat!
PT was better, Heather said that she could feel a difference in my muscles and knew I was doing my homework. That made me feel good, that even the therapist can see the improvement. Friday, I go back to Mike, the main therapist and I’m anxious to see if he sees improvement too. I only have PT through the end of February approved by insurance. If I need more sessions, I have to put in a request and go through the referral/approval process all over again. If they don’t approve it, I’ll find out how much they charge for cash discount. I’m willing to pay myself if I can get full use of my arm back.
I got home about 2 pm and then had John try to tell me all that he did while I was gone. He couldn’t remember most of it, but I didn’t see anything totally out of place. I’m in a turmoil whether to think about him at home and wonder what he’s up to while I’m gone, or have him go with me and wonder how he’s doing in the waiting room. On the occasions that he can be by my side the whole time, I take him with me. But, during scans and PT, he would have to wait for me.
I have so much more to say, but John is up now, so I’ll close this out and check back later on the other computer.
