Good afternoon, Karla, glad you listened to your body and are taking it easy. Drooping of the eyelid after surgery does happen and can clear spontaneously but it may take some time. It is caused by the instruments used during the procedure. Although worrisome it is not considered a complication but a consequence of the…

Janet, your poor carpenter, hope he has a good doc to keep him pain free and working. I am sure Bella is not upset that her appointment has been postponed, lol. Thanks for the update on Karla. Got lots accomplished today despite a late start. Mom's medical alert system will be delivered Thursday. Found an estate/will…

Good morning, so lovely to see you all Karla, great news on your successful surgery Janet, the sounds of progress are filling your house. You sound like you have a bit more energy this week. Cindy, every sale counts. Wish I could be at your indie event so I could tell everyone about your books. Have you thought about…

Good evening all, so nice to see everyone stop by so we know you are all okay. Karla, so glad it all went well but so sad about your aunt. Prayers for your dad. Bert, I seem to do the same with my hair. I think I am going to let it get longer for the winter or for as long as I can stand it. Good luck to Mike, the prep is…

Karla, good luck and my prayers go out for your Dad. Sorry that I hurt your feelings, certainly not my intent. I know you always clean and the reasons why, I just meant I hope you didn't have to work too hard and could spend more time doing fun stuff. Patti

Now this is eerie! No posts since Friday. Hope all is well with everyone. In case anyone stops by I will let you know about my weekend. I had such a fun weekend with family and friends. It was especially nice to have my son and DIL there. They have been so busy with the old and new houses they haven't had a chance to relax…

Good Friday morning, Cindy, I have a big smile on my face thinking of you getting your Lucinda on. I bet you get totally transported. Bert, hope you find the style you want. I am constantly looking for a new do. I have been toying with the idea of letting it grow out a bit. I missed my last hair appointment because of…

Good morning dear ladies, hope all is well in your worlds. I worry when there is silence here. Nothing big happening here. I did WI this week and saw no change. I think I have been slacking a bit so will refocus my efforts. I have noticed that I have started eating snacks at night, something I have not done in the past.…

Wednesday already? Just have shopping, laundry and some paperwork on the list today. My sis made it home yesterday and all is well there for now. Mom and I had a very nice day together. We had some serious discussions about health, wills, assisted living, politics and family stuff. Did a few chores that she cannot see well…

Good morning all, off to Mom's shortly. Can't believe I have no burns on my toes or feet, feeling like I dodged a boiling bullet. Edd came running when I started cursing (how I handle disasters is not for virgin ears, lol) so I was able to wash the goo off quickly. Funny but my first thought was "oh crap, if I burned my…

Cindy, just never understood bad manners/form at work. Hope the brownie helped. I hope the story I am about to tell puts a smile on your face for at least a moment. Some days when things are going well and you feel relaxed it is best to stop what you are doing right then and there. Seems I am not capable of carrying that…

Good afternoon, I have been to Mom's and done grocery shopping for both of us. She has a pot of split pea soup in the crockpot for our lunch tomorrow. She was delighted with the leftovers, especially the pie crust cookies. Getting ready to put some chicken enchiladas together for dinner. Lob rotisserie chicken. I know it…

Another weekend filled with friendship, laughter, stories old and new, great food and a full moon. Home in time to watch both my games. So a very happy me here. I have some yummy leftovers for Mom. She will be so happy. There was no peach pie left but I did make pie crust cookies from the leftover pie crust, a favorite of…

Janet, so excited for your niece, you and Caleb. I love all the cute ways they announce things these days. So creative and fun. Every boy should have a little sister to protect. Praying Julie feels better even sooner than last time. I can't imagine dealing with morning sickness. Poor dear. I accomplished everything on my…

Already worn out, lol. Gym this morning, followed by delivery the lift chair to my sis's house. Edd and I had to carry one of their old chairs to the curb first. Since we moved the chair out I decided to clean all the baseboards in the living room while I vacuumed. Now on to the dining room to do the same thing. If I am…

Janet, that play sounds like so much fun. Wish I could have joined you. Lunch was fun, as always. We have to change the name of our lunches. We had been calling them "pity lunches" so now I think we will go back to Yaya time. Mom called to talk to the girls and to congratulate my GF on completing her treatment. TT: this…

Hi ladies, Suzi, you should frame those pics. You do have the EYE. I have been to all the places you are visiting and would do it all again. So glad you are finally over your chest cold. Are you going to see Crazy Horse? I saw it for the first time when it was just a hole in the rock, back in the early 80s. Cindy, I always…

Hello........ A day with mom is time well spent. We got a lot of little tasks done, still have a few more things to do but she got tired and put a halt to it, lol. Got caught up on the Food Truck Race. TRX here I come. Janet, I know you will enjoy your night out after your recent stomach woes and having to lay low. Bert,…

Karla, great news on your eye surgery date. That is the same day as Mom's appointment in Cincinnati. I am well aware of the need for the life alert and all the reasons why. There is a lot on my plate that is marked priority one and I am paddling as fast as I can. Tomorrow I will be with her and we will be working on a lot…

Janet, you definitely qualify for a handicap sticker. Edd got when before he had both his knees done. I am sure Dr would have no problem giving you a script for one. You deserve it. Please ask. Patti

Painting done, it was hot but not too bad. My daughter lives a few blocks from where I was painting so she came over and we visited while I worked. That made an arduous task seem like nothing. We haven't seen each other in person for a couple of weeks so it was wonderful to see her face. Edd is working on my car now,…

Welcome back Cindy, can't wait til you have a moment to tell us about your trip. We have missed you. Bert, what a wonderful weekend filled with family love and sharing. Off to paint. Mom's eyes are still bad but she is doing her best. I will need to do some chores for her and shopping tomorrow. Hoping the weather is nice…

Good evening, what a wonderfully fun and relaxation get weekend. Great friends, lots of laughing, awesome food and dancing. A girl cannot ask for more. It was exactly what my mind, body and spirit needed. Watched a great football game, Bengals beat the Jets. We did get hit by a pretty severe storm right as we were ready to…

Bert, your church family is so blessed to have you and so are we. I bet your brother is so happy to have you come and to see him improving. This will be my last check in until Sunday or Monday. Leaving for the cabin after the gym. Too bad the weather isn't looking like it will be a top down drive. Thoroughly enjoyed my…

Now for some good news. The injection already has restored some of mom's vision. The retinal specialist called her twice today. He was pleased with what she had to report, as was she. He said she would probably only 2 or 3 more injections. He had already checked with the specialists office to see when her appointment was.…

Quick good morning to you all, I finally remembered to get on the scale and am down 1.8 which is a total of 5.2 since starting PM. I am happy with this as it is how I lost the weight before, slow and steady. My omelet was so good last night I am having one again this morning. So happy to be heading to the gym today. Have…

Karla, the eye dr doesn't think there is anything to be done for the right eye but wants to get a second opinion on what is there and in the left eye since they have similar lesions. With her eyesight having gotten so much worse so quickly, and some days she cannot see at all, she is much safer and more comfortable in her…
-
Good afternoon dear friends. The retinal specialist appointment was nearly 3 hours. Lots of drops, exams, lights, more drops, pictures and then finally he did an injection in the left eye. Mom and I had simultaneous near melt downs with him as he wants her to go see another specialist for the right eye, which has no…

I will manage as I always do. My BIL is in poor health but he goes above and beyond what anyone would ever expect. He is 73 years old, my sis is 58. The story of my sister is too ugly and too personal to go into here. I did get a reprieve. They were not able to schedule transport for Wed so I do not have to go to her…

Well bummer, I wrote a nice long post last night and it is no where to be found. Life is moving forward and I am struggling not with food but with my emotions. No appetite and that is not good. I am eating and making fair choices but my stomach is in knots all the time. Can't remember what I have already told you so if I…
