    My General Practioner has continued to say there is nothing that can be done. Perhaps I should see a specialist...at least to confirm that, or possibly have hope. Repeatedly throughout my life I've gone to doctors explaining what hurts and they brush me off. After multiple visits they finally rin a test and are sgocked that something is seriously wrong. Example right rotator cuff....when the jerk finally ordered an MRI...then i needed emergency surgery becyit was completely severed. Because the doctor let it go so long, there was a 50/50 chance that it would never heal. It's good enough but I never regained full shoulder rotation. Thanks for the nudge...I'll get on that.

    Good Morning!

    Val, sorry you are still having issues with that hip. That is frustrating enough without having that initial pain reoccurring. Absolutely great suggestions Roger! I sure hope something can be done. If not anything else, I wonder if they could do some nerve block to that area as a last resort. I will be praying for some relief for you! Great job on your continued losing Val, in spite of the pain and crazy schedule!!


    Great job walking in the weather, Roger! Glad it has warmed up some for you! We got about 2 inches of rain, which we needed, so that was good. I did not get to bed very early Sat. nite, and got up early for church, so the dogs and I snoozed before small group. Did not accomplish much Sunday at all! :* But it sure felt good!

    Chester was really not eating, so I decided to try Rachael Ray's fresh dog food tube in the refrigerated section. He absolutely adores it, and is eating well for the first time in about 5 years, with no cajoling or bribing. Once again, I will have no cans, I love that, less recycling. The food is a little pricey, but if he eats eat, I will do it! It looks like a big old fashioned log of veal bologna with carrots, veggies, and egg. If he lives another 10 years, we can eat it together, it looks that good- and I will be broke by then, lol! :# Dogs, got to love em!

    Have a good day all! Feel better Val! ..Jan

    Oops, I did it again, more humor posted this morning :)

    Hi
    I was out walking today and did 5,600 steps. The temperature this morning was 45 degrees and and there had been rain falling overnight. It had stopped by the time I was out the door.

    Currently the rain has stopped falling and is forecast to return later today. I took advantage of the lack of rainfall to stop at the post office and mail some payments off. I put the mail in a plastic bag and hook it over my arm until I get to the P.O., that ensures it stays safe and does not fall out of My pocket.

    Today's plan is to keep working on digitizing some more of the 78s and 33 1/3 RPM records.

    Have a Great Tuesday
    Roger

    Hi Val
    That sounds like a good idea, A second opinion is always a good idea where Your health is concerned.

    I'm sorry to hear about the shoulder :(

    Good Luck

    Hi Jan
    I had heard of that dog food, I have seen a refrigerated case in the ShopRite that had other brands of fresh Dog food for sale. More expensive then some people food :)

    You will notice I sort of dog themed the first three images in today's humor, Enjoy.

    Congratulations on Your double achievement.

    Good Morning!

    I am losing it! I weeded half my area in the back yard and planted 1/2 of the creeping thyme. It started to rain, so I had to stop and I was going back out. Well, I forgot. And it got dark. So I have wet tools I need to dry. Not so bad, just dumb. And the worst part. May May found my other 3 thyme plants and had a field day with them. Really dumb on my part.... I did recover 2, and I think they might make it, but the third is truly gone. I guess she ate it. I have a dissected container and that is it. I thought I had put it safely in the fenced area, and forgot I had pulled it out doing some last minute raking..Is there a wall I can beat my head against?

    The good news is my daughter wants to go to the beach. So I am headed there for Mother's Day week-end. That was why I had forgot to go back, making arrangements as the rooms were going fast. We have not been in about 10 years or more, I am sorry to say. I am really excited about going! Only 3 days, so not too hard on the puppies.

    I do hurt in places I forgot I had. Yard work, got to love it! :#

    Thanks for the targeted humor!! :) Yes, Chester better realize the sacrifice I am making to give him this dog food!! But it is such a joy to see him eat! o:)

    Have a wonderful Weds! . Jan Rain, then B)

    Hey Val! Thanks! I sure do not want to leave the dogs, but a least Chester is eating better, and maybe they will recover from the last visit by then.

    You are doing really well, too! I see you are back losing! Keep up the good work! :) Jan

    Rodger, hope you are doing well! Lots of rain in your area, too, it looks like. I have more yard work to do, it seems never ending. It is a mess after our winter, slight though it was! It does help me in the exercise dept.!

    May stuck her head thru the fence, or arm and paw, and grabbed another thyme plant. She ate that. So I planted what I had, lol, which thanks to her, was considerably less.... :|

    I feel like Charlie Brown. "Good Grief!" :) Hope you got some walks in and records digitized! Seems weird without your steps and money account! ..Jan :#

    Hi Jan
    I think we all have memory lapses, I know I do, have for so many years :(

    I'm a little surprised Your dog ate Thyme.

    Enjoy the beach

    Hi
    I'm running late today :)
    I'll take the rain over the Baseball sized hail I that hit other areas. I saw video of the damage it caused on the news last night. It could be worse.

    Congratulations on staying on track, I saw this:

    Hello!

    Buzy day! Still chilly up that way! Great job walking! A lazy day sounds awfully good! :)

    I was out earlier this morning, and had to go to Montgomery. I finished up there and then moved some books, about 200 lbs. worth, to another area in the church. I was really pooped, and I am hoping I can walk Friday! LOL! Then I stopped at the grocery, since both Chester and I were out of major food. I had left without getting breakfast and was starving. I ate some peanuts on the way home, and fixed supper early. So today was a rather easy day, I was either too tired or busy to eat. And got my exercise too!

    We are having some storms come thru, but we need the rain. Not severe where I am, not too sure about others. We are expecting strong storms on Monday. We will see. This is certainly a long month. It seems to have more days than 31, :#

    Big uproar down here, as a senior wants to take his Grandma who raised him to his Prom. After getting an okay, the principle has changed his mind, and the school board has been brought in. I can't believe....One nice gesture causing such a stink!

    Have a great day! Do not work too hard! Jan :)

    Hi
    I was out walking today and did 6,350 steps. The temperature this morning was 39 degrees and and there had been rain falling before I went out the door. It had stopped and then started once again shortly after I left the house. The heavier rain is supposed to be moving in later according to this mornings weather forecast.

    Have a Great Friday

    Good morning!

    You sure did good walking in the rain! We really had a downpour last night. I forgot to check the rain gauge when I fed the birds. It was so cool, and pretty this morning and the sun was just perfectly warm. I think this is Spring again for the third time this year.

    I was actually doing okay this morning. I was afraid my back would be out, though I tried to use those good body mechanics. I am still kind of tired, but so far, so good. That was a pleasant surprise. Iplan to work outside a bit, then have some inside chores. I have a "Do List" that is much longer than I would like, and need to at least do 1 or2 things a day! :# I am not the most motivated I could be there. :D

    I lost another pound for today, so anything now is new territory! Thanks for noticing the loss, I guess I am finally over vacation and eating out so much! It has been several years since I was in this next ten pound region, and look, no holidays but Easter, and I can bypass the candy so far, so things look good. Isn't optimism great? :#

    Thanks for posting more humor! Have a great week-end! Thanks for exhibiting such consistency!! ..Jan.. B)

    Hi
    I was out walking today and did 7.7K steps. The temperature this morning was 33 degrees on the weather forecast and 39 on the front porch, There had been rain falling before I went out the door. It had stopped and when I left the house there was a wind blowing a mist that was somewhat uncomfortable. There are some rain showers that are supposed to be moving in later according to this mornings weather forecast.

    Hi Jan
    If I said not as good walking yesterday as I would have liked OTOH.

    We did not have a downpour it was more of a steady rain, Parts on NJ have had 1 to 3 inches so far.

    That is good news Your back is OK. I have a problem with motivation many days too so don't feel bad. There is always Manana AKA Tomorrow :)

    As for Easter, You do not have a Traditional Easter Meal? I know my brother is planning a Ham, Mashed Potatoes & Ham Gravy, Likely a Pie and home made whipped cream and more. It will be a low Sodium ham and TBH even the Low Sodium Ham was a bit salty tasting last year.

    Enjoy the New Humor :)

    I Noticed You had lost another pound, Congratulations
    Roger
