Shot fired

You are right Liz, thank you for reminding me that it won't last.

Einstein, you have not responded to the question about the fusion. I was asking if Mrs Hat had experienced this.

[fishinghat]

fired up

 

Sorry, I missed that question. Yes, she had fusion in her neck in 2005. Luckily it effected only 2 vertebrae.

[TryinginFL]

up there

 

 

Pain Management Doc appt this afternoon.  Had shot on Wed and feel almost no pain - like a miracle   I should have seen this type of doc a long time ago!

 

Hope everyone else is doing well  

[gail]

There goes

Seeing one also Liz. The best that I could do and he is available.

Fh, any way we can get a picture of your jujube tree? What do you do with them? Big fan of jujubes here.

[fishinghat]

goes mad

 

I can't do that Gail. I have tried soooo many times to post pictures and about 90% of the time it says file too big. Every now and then one goes through but it is rare. I have tried thumbnails. jpeg, etc. All too big.

Mad thoughts

Ok, I will imagine that they are of all colors, ready to be eaten. Some with sugar on it, some with multi colors. Some in the form of fishes, frogs, and some wearing zebra g-strings.
I like that.
Fragile and scared this morning, teary eyed, it will pass! All that sleep! Need encouragement please!

thoughts race

 

All I can say is 'time and patience' Gail. Major surgery and you are not a youngster anymore. It will be a trial of patience. just don't push yourself. Vitamin C should also help with the healing process. Just pretend you are on a vacation.

How is everyone doing today?  Gail, does your med help your pain?  How are you doing?

 

Saw the pain management doc yesterday and he now has me going to Physical Therapy starting 2 weeks from today.  Also have another type of injection next Wed.  I sure am getting tired of all this running around...every day it's something

 

Had to give up bridge yesterday due to doc appt.

[fishinghat]

track spike

 

Hi Liz.

 

All good here. A little too hot, 93 and 60% humidity. Could be worse.

[TryinginFL]

spike ball

 

 

Yep, you could be down here, FH! 

I'm melting....

[gail]

Ball Park

Getting the zipper off today. We have no summer here, I don't mind this year, not much I can do yet. My supporting buddy is coming for three days or so. That will do me good. First outing today in a week!

[fishinghat]

Park Avenue

Remember what I said Gail....Not too much dancing in your first outing.

[gail]

Avenue blocked

Not to worry, I have zero energy. another tough one today. Sid is faster than me.
Just writing this takes time.
You won't see me chewing on your jujube tree today for sure.

[fishinghat]

Blocked driveway

So sorry Gail. Prayers and blessings to you.

[gail]

Driveway path???

Going to Montreal on Monday for my first appointment. We will discuss radiotherapy,stereo something. Emotions through the top yesterday, calmer this morning. Thank you for your prayers.

No more Staples, I can sit without having to move every second. Life is so full of surprises, good ones and some that you don't think that you will get through, but you do! Surprisingly!

[fishinghat]

path long

 

As my daddy use to say....Slow but steady like a toad walking. (that's slow)

[gail]

Long way

Sid is showing me the way to do it. Boy, is he ever slow!

[TryinginFL]

way home

 

 

Gail, I am so happy to hear that things seem to be moving along for you and want to wish you all the best for your upcoming treatment

 

God Bless

[KathyInFL]

Home again.

 

I'm back home, vacation was nice.

 

Gail, I'm glad to hear you are having a few little wins here and there!

[gail]

Again soon

Where are you at Kathy with your taper?

Thanks Liz! My buddy left this morning, alone till Monday. My brother will pick me up and bring me to Montreal. Less than a two hour ride. Thank God for the help that people bring us.
That goes for the prayers also.

[fishinghat]

soon recovered

 

Good morning ladies. I am so glad you will be going to your brothers Gail where you can be pampered some and get some good rest. I just hope they have a computer you can use to stay in touch with us!!!

[gail]

Recovered quickly

It's just for a one night stay, maybe two at the most. Computers?? One in every room, tablets all over the place. Name it, he's got it.

Nice of you to say that Fishingbrain!

[KathyInFL]

Quickly weighing

 

Gail, I'm at 40% of a 60mg pill... or I will be as soon as I weigh and fill some capsules. 

[TryinginFL]

weighing in

 

 

Hi all!

 

Yikes - yesterday we had one miserable thunderstorm that went on forever and my cable, phone and internet were out

 

Certainly let me know that I watch too much TV or spend too much time on the computer!  I didn't know what to do!  I finally put on some Enya and Ivy was scared to death  -  apparently she had never heard music before  

 

Gail, enjoy your stay with your brother, welcome back Kathy and what are you up to today, FH?

[gail]

In between

Nice to see you Liz! Enya is one of my favorites. I know people that can't deal with that sort of music. Buy heavy metal for ivy, you will be the one to go nuts!

Geez, I am sleeping my life away. Never in my life have I slept like that. Liz, it doesn't remove the wrinkles, it's worse. Don't try it.

Looking good Kathy! What are your worst symptoms? If any!

FH must be trying on the new gstrings I sent him. He must be stuck in the mirror admiring himself!!!

[TryinginFL]

between meals

 

 

Good to hear from you, Gail!  No, no heavy metal for me and I think Ivy would pass out!  She was OK with the thunder yesterday - some of which was directly overhead and LOUD!  Lasted about an hour - poor Sherman was shaking and next to me on the couch   

 

I'm glad that you are getting a good rest....actually, I had a facial yesterday - it helps!!

 

Did you all hear about the huge sinkhole that opened up in Pasco county here?  It is over 200 feet wide and they think about 50 feet deep and filled with water.  It has swallowed 2 homes so far...they are still watching it.  I feel so terrible for those who have lost everything There are 9 others that are not able to be lived in as it is precarious at best.  Praying for all that are affected.

 

Thinking of FH trying on g strings - now that is a picture!

[gail]

Meals prepared

I checked it out Liz, hope it's over!

Poor Sherman, does he like Ivy? And Max, how goes our sweetheart?

FH, leave the strings alone, we miss you! Unless it's a chosen time to pamper the Mrs?

[TryinginFL]

prepared quickly

 

 

Sherman is OK w/Ivy if she doesn't bug him!  She always wants to play and since he is an old man, he sleeps a lot and sometimes barks at her when she won't leave him alone!  He will play with her but not all the time.  It is funny to watch her grab his tail and follow him out the door like that!

 

Max is staying in the background and watching TV in my room.  All the commotion gets to him - he comes out occasionally and of course had his brandy and cigar last nite

[KathyInFL]

Quickly answering

 

 

 

Gail, I have no symptoms today, the worst I get lately are achy knees. Six years ago when I weaned (probably too quickly and did not weigh the balls) it was awful. I was nauseous, achy and I forget what else. I went back on the C because I was so miserable. Now I'm weaning more slowly and it seems to be helping.

 

Liz, we had a storm Wednesday night!! Yikes, I had my flashlight handy in case the power went out!

[fishinghat]

answering rapidly

 

A day to pamper the Mrs.  Back home and at rest. See you ladies tomorrow.
