Thank you all you wonderful people.
Sending calming energy your way, Athijade. That is no way to have to live. I can't remember from previous posts if you have a pet? I tell you my little girl pup is probably the only thing that stops me from crossing the line some days. Living alone is so damned lonely. The furry one is an amazing housemate.
Just stroking her for a little while calms my nerves so very much.
Alexandra, I agree with Athijade - that is a great plan you have.2 -
How is your paw, PAV?????1

Hey @Athijade ... (waves!)
Oh LAURIE
I hope you are feeling better. And that the surgery will be resoundingly good! 
Alexandra? Why not make SOME (but not a huge amount of rolls) and have them ready anyway. Don't these things freeze too if you have extras or can be ready to go in frozen uncooked format and can be baked from frozen if you're short?

Your paw???????2

Paw not as bad as feared but not good. Warranty claim out of time!
Right has no ligament so left has been compensating for years
Due to manufacturing defects during growth spurt left structure susceptible to damage and gotten looser and patella is meandering more than appropriate. Snap Crackle pop.
Take two aspirins and call me in the morning!
Will improve over next 3-4 weeks back to former full range of motion glory.... but glory includes patella that is loose and snap crackle pops?????
(Conversation reminded me that it was daily clicks when weight was higher so long time coming now that I think about it)
Have applied for supplementary info as to any repairs or improvements I could make. Suspect physio? Was not mentioned directly hence the follow up petition that will be reviewed next week at 11:00 👍
Oh... and use it or lose it for osteoarthritic right. Delay replacement as much as possible blah blah
All this via visual inspection no imaging.
Will soon be hitting Bella for info re stationary bike setup I suspect2 -
Hop along is hitting 5k+ today👍2

Pav, these were the 2 exercises my husband's physio recommended when he severely damaged his meniscus. The injury happened april 2020. Severe enough for surgery, but this was cancelled because of COVID, so we had to explore the rehab route instead. He literally couldn't walk across a room for 3 months - then it took him another 9 months before he could walk for 15 minutes at a slow pace. The exercises were designed to strengthen the muscles around his knee, so that they could take more of the strain.
By April 2021 he started walking further each day, until he could manage 30 minutes without too much discomfort. Then in June he started cycling a little (just gentle rides on flat routes) - this helped strengthen his leg muscles without adding any stress to the knee. In July we got the turbo trainer, and he's come on in leaps and bounds. He can now walk for 90+ minutes without any knee pain, and cycle on the turbo (on courses that are a mixture of flat and hilly) for about 75 minutes. The progress (which was tormentingly slow for the first year) has been astonishing since June. So a bike trainer is definitely something to consider...in the meantime, the exercises may help...

I have both knees replaced and I sound like the tin man when they creak…drives me nuts!…I can’t get down on my knees at all or it just about kills me….I probably could have put off replacing them a little while longer but I wanted to get them done while I was a little younger and they did need done….
Get better PAV
Thinking of you Laurie!2 -
Thanks guys and 🤞 for Laurie2

Considering I just had my 74th birthday, I am grateful to still have all my original parts - except for some tooth crowns. This is not to say everything works 100%. My hip/foot problem is resolving itself with exercises and moderation. I’m back to the gym and walking but it has to be flat surfaces like the treadmill. PAV, I hope you can get some level of pain relief before going the bionic route. 🤖
Hoping all goes well with Laurie’s surgery and she recovers quickly.5 -
Went to the store today. It's always exciting to try to figure out what the gaps in the supply chain will bring. Is it safe to wait to get the fancy cracker assortment or should I buy it early? Will there be lunch meat? How about ground turkey? (sigh) I do not like that uncertainty. I do not like it at all.
I was able to get everything today, which is not always the case, but it is really chilly and was windy when I was out, and I laid down half to get all the way warm and half to deal with the overstimulation. I suspect this evening I will move my relaxing to the couch, with a lot of hot tea and the wooly sitting slippers. And maybe a lap blanket. (Which will ensure I will have a lap cat too.)3 -
You cat people!
I think CCCGG hasn't fully disclosed her domestic feline situation (weekend/summer place in Island of Aigina)

The black one is a dead ringer for my Nyx...
And yes, she is sitting on the instructions. Helping Boyfriend.

If you feed them, they will come!2

If you feed them, they will come!
She obviously is guilt tripped into feeding instead of letting them starve. The black one, Naomi, is more adopted than not by her ~20y daughter who has been spending more time in the area, especially with COVID, and they have managed to coral her and take her to the vet for shots and sterilization--the cat not the daughter!
The rest are more feral!
Apparently the area does NOT have a mouse problem....
