Hi
Before I forget again, heading into the ER last week I found 11 cents, Since I will not be walking for a while I expect that will be the last in quite a while.
Of and On Rain is in the forecast for today, So far it was raining overnight, then it stopped by the time I got up and is now raining again.
FWIW I am slowly feeling a little bit stronger day by day.
Before I forget I really had no way to keep in touch in the hospital, I thought about trying to walk my brother through where to post over the phone, His mind interprets what I say in unusual ways so I gave up, Sorry.
I really did not expect to be admitted and operated on when the doctor sent me there

Hello JoanneJoanne3366 wrote: »Good morning;
Roger-it is good to have you back. Good luck with your next procedure.
Vix-Sounds like you checked off a couple more things on the wedding planning list. Good luck with the menu.
Irene-It would be good if they can fix both things at once, saves you a second trip to the dealer.
Sophie has some sort of respiratory infection. She sounds like she has a head cold an is sneezing a lot. The vet gave her an anti-viral med, but it has to be made up in another lab and then shipped to me.
Have a good day!
The next thing(s) are outpatient, One being Robotic Surgery on a small hernia, and the other some testing, Unless the tests reveal something in need of a instant hospitalization they should be a small speed bump.
That does not sound good to me that the meds have to be shipped, I hope the delay is not a problem.
Have a Good Day

My brother in laws Mom passed away so I will be going up to Scranton, Pa for the service I am leaving Friday morning and coming back on Saturday George is staying home he has standby this weekend for his job. take care everyone
Since I never used a Backup Camera I am not sure how critical that is. When I back up I tend to rely on the three mirrors.
I'm sorry to hear about the death, Have a safe drive

Hi VixHi all.
Irene, condolences, have a safe trip.
Jo, glad you're enjoying the nice weather.
Reserved a room in a restaurant for the rehearsal dinner...now just have to figure out the menu, get invitations, etc, etc. But glad that I found a nice place. The 2 I was most interested in weren't available. I didn't realize places booked up so far in advance.
Busy day.
Have a great evening, everyone.
From what I hear the best places go quick.
I am feeling a little better daily, I wish it was quicker. The restriction on not lifting anything over 20 pounds is throwing a burden on my brother preparing his garden, including picking up mulch and topsoil.Good morning.
How's it going, Roger. Hope you are feeling a little better every day.
I got 2 dresses in the mail yesterday. They both fit and look ok. I'll try them on for my daughter and see what she thinks...always good to have a 2nd or 3rd opinion!
Painting class for me this a.m. It's overcast today with a high of 71 expected, rain tonight and tomorrow.
Happy Thursday, everyone.
I suspect with a 99% certainty that by the time I go walking again I will back at the start of that for distance
Have a Nice Day

hi getting ready for pt and then up to PA should be home hopefully Saturday night take care everyone0

Good morning.
Safe travels, Irene. Would be great if the dealer can fix both at the same time.
Roger, glad you're starting to feel better. Hope the next procedures are smooth sailing.
This getting old stuff has its drawbacks.
It's good that you and your brother are close and can live together.
Jo, poor Sophie, hope she feels better soon.
I'm going to continue to look for dresses, but at least I know I have one I can wear if I find nothing better. I was happy they fit (except for having to be shortened).
Rainy, high of 70 today, t-storms expected later. No special plans for today. Maybe some grocery shopping...out of salad again.
Happy Friday, everyone.

Good morning;
Roger-I am glad that you are feeling better every day. I am keeping good thoughts that the next procedure goes off without a hitch. Did the doctor say no walking? I would think short walks would be good for you to get your strength back. Congrats on finding 11 cents.
Irene-safe travels and again my condolences.
Vix-good luck on the dress hunt.
Today is work and after work, grocery shopping. I am happy to be going back to my local store.
Have a good day!

Good morning.
Jo, glad you can go back to your local store.
Safe travels, Irene. Condolences.
Roger, hope you're resting up. And soon to be feeling better.
A little cooler today, sunny and windy. Only expected high of 65.
I'm going for my 2nd shingles shot this a.m., stopping off at the library, and whatever else comes along.
Happy Saturday, everyone.

I have posted some humor, Enjoy
Hi
Just in case so that I do not drop out of sight in the future. If anyone wants to send their email or Mailing address so my brother can let everybody know put them in a PM so that email address bots can not get them.
I have an appointment for 10:30 Tuesday morning for a outpatient test which means I need to be out of the house around 8:30 for the drive to the hospital and a 1.5 hour ahead of time fill out the paperwork etc. which is what they want so Tuesday morning I may not be on or if I am not for long.

I agree, getting old is no fun. I would be in trouble if he were not here. He will be doing the shopping and since they say have a driver for Tuesday....
When I buy long pants they always need to be shortened, I must have short legs ?
Thunderstorm rolled through Friday afternoon with heavy rain, the rest of the day was off and on rain.
Cool, sunny and breezy here also. Darned lawn is growing like the weed it is, My brother just mowed the other day and it is looking ragged already.Good morning.
Jo, glad you can go back to your local store.
Safe travels, Irene. Condolences.

I did not ask, OTOH 8 weeks of not lifting anything over 20 pounds seems like a indication to take it easy ?
Are You back permanently now ?
Have a Nice Day

Good morning;
Went to the gym this morning. I am just waiting for my daughter to come over and we are going to a Japanese Festival on Boston Common.
Hopefully we will have a few hours to enjoy the festival before it starts to rain.
Have a good day! 0 -
Good morning.
Rainy with a high of 67 today. No special plans.
Have fun at the festival, Jo. It was raining here earlier, but clear at the moment. It might be one of those on and off days.
Roger, crazy stuff about the universe expanding...I read an article a few days ago.
I'm only 5'1", so I have to shorten a lot of my clothes, when I was younger, I was 5'2" and I just wore higher shoes!
Guess I'll catch up with some household chores today, and whatever.
Happy Sunday, everyone. 0 -
hi all, well I went and no funeral is fun but it was a very nice sending. I came down with a stomach virus so I am taking it easy. Don't plan on doing much except sleep take care everyone and thank you0

More humor shortly
Hi
Some chances of rain throughout the week. This morning it is 37 degrees outside and I do have the heat turned back on. It is a nice enough looking day especially compared to the weekend.
I plan to create a print list today for my brother just in case of future need. No telling what tomorrows test results will be. I am unhappy with the No food or liquids after midnight tonight, Not even water. That makes me wonder if I will be anesthetized Tuesday morning. It did not really come as a need when the doctor sent me to the ER as I had not eaten since the day before.

Happy Sunday, everyone.
Yesterday the rain started with a light drizzle by 10AM.
I knew it was expanding, what was new was that it seems to be expanding faster than the scientists predicted.
When they measured my height at the hospital it was an inch shorter than what I used to be, They do say we get shorter as we age.
If I had any motivation and more energy there are some minor chores that need doing here too
Have a Nice Day

If I said I hate funerals and death in general does that make me strange ? If I could wave a magic wand and eliminate death....
I hope You get over the stomach virus quickly, they are no fun.
Get Well Quick
