There's still a lot of reflection... but I'm so pleased with this puppy

Hang in there Athijade! I find having an organized path help the projects move along better.

Laurie- how do you do THAT? I can’t even imagine what it’s like to be so talented and creative.

I had a follow up appointment with my orthopedist this morning. The wrist fracture healed but now three months later there’s still swelling and pain. The X-rays are fine. The ortho said it will get better with time or I can go for therapy. I don’t know 🤷‍♀️. Wait it out or take time several times a week driving across town to get hand exercises?

Geez, Bella. They can't be delivering you another week like last. Sending you strength.

Yooly - can they not just give you a set of exercises to do at home that will take you through a couple of weeks - then you go back to "upgrade" ? I have no insurance so that is how physio tends to roll with me. I have not had the money to see them multiple times in a week. It is about $100 a visit here - no idea how much there.

Weather is crazy here too, Athijade. This past weekend went from +13 to -20 in one day! All the early spring flowers are coming up and now they are under snow Glad you are getting things under control on the work front.

Wow Laurie, that is amazing! I feel as if I could reach out and give him a good rub behind the ears!

Bella - you are inspiring! Holding it all together during major stress is huge.

And Laurie when the time comes you’ll find cataract surgery is fairly easy. I had mine years ago and what a difference it made. Colors were vivid again and the clarity- I could do tiny cross stitch again.

Physical therapy for me would be free. I’m fortunate to have the standard Medicare supplemented with a great retirement package. And some coverage as a spouse of a military retiree. The drawback for me is the time to travel across town to the appointments twice a week.

Finished my work week at 8am this morning. Came home and slept from 9-3. Already hit my 10k step minimum for the day. Relaxing in the hot tub right now, probably play our favorite card game with my husband later.

So Friday I went to the gym and hit the weights! I'm a little sore today, but good sore, not debilitating sore. Then I had coffee and a chat for a couple hours with a friend while my car horn was made to work by the dealership.

I also agreed to pick up a shift today on my old unit at work for incentive (plus I hit overtime partway through it, so raked in the bucks today, saved an old coworker I like and worked my backside off, before my husband and I went to a hockey game tonight

Ugh. So I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out asap. One is starting to cause issues for the tooth next to it and the rest are looking like they may end up doing the same before too long. NOT looking forward to this. I have my consultation next Tuesday.

Mfpeeee

Killing posts again

Fingers and toes all crossed PAV. Low priority status is good, unless of course it isn't. Perhaps they needed extra time to decipher the evidence of so many bunnies running laps in your belly? Paired with the most unusual trimmings

"most" = weight management, moderate activity/exercise, blood-work/other metrics reporting OK, that kind of stuff.

On the weight thingy. Like whatevs!

So every "metric" claims scale should be up! Three days of increased night-time temp per "watch companion", "resting" HR at maintenance level (65) for three days with jump up to "gaining" levels (+2) today.

So, what does the scale do? Yup. Twelve month "low" number. Only 0.2 from readings within recent memory; but a full lb down from anything during the past week. Sure. Happy times. But ugh! I'm sure the other shoe will drop tomorrow!

Oh Bella. This sounds terrifying. Hope the drugs do their job and hubby has clear(er) veins very soon. Just can't imagine..

Freakin' scales Finally remembered to weigh myself this morning before consuming anything. And bingo - up 4 pounds. No reason on the eating front. Hoping it is just because I'm on the tail end of a nasty virus. From my recollection of daily weigh in numbers - being sick always caused a bump in weight.

PAV - Zap!???

Keep us updated, Bella.

Hugs to you, Yooly.

Laurie? I *WAS* like around six is all I have to say. And yes it was 230V because Greece. Mini zaps were "fun". Then there was the one that made me stop playing the game ;-)

Yooly? I'm not going to LOOK for the shoe. But I am sure it is on its way to hit me on the head!

I'm off the Buffalo today. My daughter who plays college hockey up there and I are doing a hockey weekend. Her season is over, but we're going to attend a professional women's hockey game tomorrow night in Toronto, and then the NHL we cheer for (Edmonton Oilers) is in Buffalo for an afternoon game on Saturday. Then I fly home Sunday morning.

My big NSV here is that I can easily fly without a seat belt extender now, and with far less self consciousness over intruding into my neighbor's space.

Not needing a seat belt extension- big win! I had to do a lot of travel when I was working and much heavier. I can’t tell you how many times I’d tuck the belt end under my belly and covered up with my shirt. Stupid and dangerous! Or the time I crossed the Atlantic with a seat belt so tight that I had bruises for a week.
Not needing an extension and seeing a good 6-8 inches of extra belt is amazing to me. And using the tray table. Before it kind of sat on my gut at an angle at best. Completely unusable for beverages or resting a book. I’d juggle my coffee in my hand pretending I liked holding a hot scorching cup.

Thank you Nic for the reminder of how much more comfortable it is to travel now. Enjoy your trip to Buffalo with your daughter!
