going ons..........

Well I have been so bad lately for coming on here... for that I want to apologize.  I  slowly got out of the habit and then the more I didn't come the more I didn't feel like coming here.  Then at chat we were talking about this and I realized that what the heck, I miss you all so much and if it  means I have to post and ramble then I suppose that is what I will do.  Ok that is my warning I will be  entertaining you with my typos or boring you with my notes.


Seems I have had a mixed up life lately!  I have this darn shoulder that is giving me major grief, the doctor refuses to give me the cortisone injection because they believe I have a torn rotator cuff and the injection would do more damage than good, so I have to wait to have an CT scan done on it.  There is a waiting list for that for shoulders, 6 to 8 weeks and I am at week 5 or so already.  ya will likely be the 8 weeks so I am going to have to learn to suck it up.  I do not sleep at night well. I might get 2 hours or up to 4 on a real good night, so I am  really miserable in the day time.  I do have pain pills but they  make me  stoned and don't really ease the pain enough to say they work.  Oh well a few more weeks then  I will see where I stand.


My mil was diagnosed with Parkinson disease in Jan. she had her first symptom in Sept and now she is in bed pretty much 23 hours a day.  She is not doing well with this, and my fil is her caretaker. He however is not doing well either, he used to weigh about 145 lbs,  but has been losing weight  pretty  rapidly. We all thought it was from the load he has taken on to care for my mil, but yesterday he got a call from the doctor that they found a black  spot on his lung.  Now you know what we are thinking but not saying.  Denial can be good if it means there is hope.  We will soon hear  as he has some tests he needs to go through soon.


As for mil and fil we have  been setting up  home support for the 2 of them, they are almost 80 and they could use a little help.  I am not sure what they all qualify for but I got ahold of the govt and set up an inhome  meeting with the inlaws so they can access what all is needed. It would be nice if  we could have someone come in a couple times a week to help bathe mil and to maybe relieve on some of the meal making.  We would take this over ourselves but it is almost 5 hours from us so that doesn't work. 


My niece and her little baby (11 weeks old) and dn's bf came for a visit for a few days, it was so wonderful to have a little baby in the house again... she is such a good baby, and so loving.  I found it a bit much near the end but that is because my dn is real big on talking all the time.  Yup was like having my middle dd home, only  I found it hard to ignore dn as I would do with dd when I needed to.


Yesterday we went and had our taxes done, we held off til the last moment because we thought we owed a lot of money this year.... turns out we are both getting a refund.  Not a lot but hey a refund is much better than owing.


I see there are a few  buds on my Japanese maple, that is a sure sign that spring has begun to arrive.  I  can not wait to get out and start my gardens.  I want to  make some changes on the garden beds, not sure what yet but something to freshen it up.


 


Well ladies I think I should get a move on my walking  group will be here soon and I have not done my hair and there are still a few chores I want to do before they arrive.


Have a wonderful day ladies!  And please don't be like me and let this  group go.. it is the wonderful people on here that I have grown to love that has me back.


Luv ya!


 


Ps was going to not use spell checker but thought it was long enough that you deserve the break so will use it today...LOL

Hi Lor


Yes I would have to report you for identity theft if you stopped all those typos. Lor it is just you and something I have come to love about you.


I am always delighted when I come here and there are lots of post. I love this place and just hate when people forget we are here. So lets both do a better job of posting and encouraging ohters to come back as well.


Love ya


PS I might try your excuse about the treadmill but I really need not to and want to get back to taking better care of myself. Walking outside here is coming to an end with the heat of summer beginning so the treadmill is the best way for me now.


Love ya

Lor, many of us have been MIA for a while. Life gets in the way, sometimes. Not much we can do about it but visit here when we can.


You've had a full plate, with lots going on. This is a good place to vent and to visit with friends, but when it becomes an obligation, it loses it's heart and just becomes another job to add to our lists. Not fun!


Typos? I odn't see andy tupos!

Maybe not that bad, but I have been very creative with my typing!
